For me personally, I would roll a scrapper for farming if I'm mostly soloing my way to 50. Let's say the Fire/kin outperforms the scrapper 38+. If it's not fun enough to get to 38, then the later out performance aspect doesn't matter.

There have been lots of things proposed by players that would improve play and population on the redside but so far the devs haven't done any of them and quite frankly many of the things that would make red side more successful aren't feasible.

A classic example is the recent Dom revamp. Yes I know it was called a revamp and it did slightly increase Dom playability though it also made low level dom play a little more tedious. What it actually did was nerf perma and especially double dom. The more I think about it the more that seems to be the case.

In any event the few remaining red side toons I have are moving to blue permanently when GR comes out unless its painful, tedious and probelmatic doing so, in which case I'll be abandoning the red side ATs completely by deleting them and using those character slots for new heroes.

I've long been a proponent of merging the markets there really is no reason not to especially with GR looming on the horizon.

I am basically rerolling from red to blue on a new server and wanted to get a pair of fire/kins leveled up for general pling/farming etc. I wanted to do a little pvp, so working on new toons on freedom since I'm told that's really the only active pvp community.



I have a 50 brute and several 30+ masterminds I even have a fun little mind/psi dom in the teens. I would love to roll redside. Until they merge the markets that's just not going to happen. I'm pretty much done with red. The market population is so small many things aren't available. When they are available the redside marketeers are busy screwing you in every way they can. Blueside market is much much larger and more active, so much more pleasant to use for a casual player since it is so much more difficult for marketeers to actually lock things down. Nice work marketeers, you've driven me and my sons to play blue when nothing else so far had done so. Redside certainly needs more people being driven away since it's so overpopulated.

Although it was more like sixty pages, and took about three days.

And embarrassment is for those with shame...

That does not equate "Truth".

Blueside has better TFs and better variety of things to fight. Any more, blueside I level by organizing TFs. Same rewards as old style arcs, and more of them. But nobody runs Silver Mantis to level.

And last time I ran a mayhem mission there were still simultaneous Longbow ambushes at the door, on a timed map where dying sends you to a jail you have to solo your way out of against team sized spawns. I usually handle mayhems any more by getting the exploration badge and leaving, letting them fail. If I want the temp power I put a few levels on the mission, or try to.

Most of mine are going to be moving the other way.
