Grow up.

I have never said anything against how anyone else wants to play the game (Well, against PvPers once or twice I suppose), and I think it's quite immature to want to dictate to others how they should play. "Farmers are lame ROFL!" is not an argument. Me farming does not impact you, but you want to take it away.

The sad thing is I could still farm just as efficiently as ever. It's just not fun anymore because I'd have to do it by myself, dual boxing. Or at most, with a 4 person team to really make money fast. Please be aware that the RMT spammers you hate so passionately are not even slightly inconvenienced by this change. The AE can still be used to farm, quite easily. In fact, this makes it easier for them as they can simply set their difficulty to x8 spawns and not have to worry about getting teammates.

And calling me an AE baby is rather pathetic, considering I have been playing since the game was released (I was a CoH preorder customer), and had a 50 and a slew of 30s and 40s before the AE went in.

I've done literally everything in the game at least once. But the thing is that in the past I've never really played for more than a month or so at a stretch before it got old. The AE didn't get old for me at all. There was no frustration in it, no hassle forming or finding teams, no stress about muling inf to new toons so that they could afford SOs (Tickets pay for a complete SO enhancement by the time you hit 22 and you never ever have a problem keeping up). I didn't have to think about selling salvage and recipe drops at the market even.

I have had my post-i16 AE farm missions authored and ready for publishing for weeks. And they work. I have the toons I set up for it, and they can easily make as much inf now farming as they did before.

But there's no joy in it.

And yeah, I could still run 8 man teams in the AE if I wanted to, for less rewards. And I would, actually, quite happily, because I played the AE for fun, which a lot of you seem unable to wrap your heads around... But just try to find 7 people who want to run AE missions right now. Try, I'll wait.

So congratulations, to those who rejoice in the misery of others: You have not hurt the serious farmers in the slightest. The people you hate are not even mildly inconvenienced by the change you're rejoicing in. But you have managed to steal all the joy I got from the game, and unless the AE scene picks up again, I'll probably not bother to play again for a very long time.

So yes they did know about Champions Online, of course back then it was called Marvel Universe Online.

And the funny thing is that your right the rules do apply to me... funny thing is I've been "farming" for the past couple of YEARS, and have never been chastised(by anyone of consequence...) for breaking the rules. I suppose you could say I've never been caught, but if I had what rule is it that has been broken... could you please cite it?

As for Demobot

It's only a defense if you have to defend something and since there is no rule in this game that says that farming is wrong then I have nothing to defend. The funny thing is that just because someone doesn't like the current implementation of something doesn't mean it is outside the rules or an exploit. As for the "If the game allows it it's fine" Can you find me the rule that says that I can't farm. Where in the EULA does it say that? If it was wrong there would be a rule against it but there is not. It would be like me reporting arcs for being terribly long and wasting my time, I don't like it so I should report it... Right? But the game doesn't say they can't make crappy long drawn out MA arcs... So it must be just defense against the fact that the mission is crappy not that they have a right to play the game how they want to within the rules set by Coh.....Right?

/end rant

In the really real world, the only rules that matter are those that have meaningful punishments coupled with meaningful discernment.

Is not seeking one thing out and going after it over and over again till you get the designated reward farming?And did the Devs not write this code - just like the AE. I really wonder if Matt miller would applaud the OP taking his pug out of the Ae all together or would he want them steered to what he wrote the code for?

Due to the stability issues that occurred with the North American servers this past Double XP Weekend, we plan to offer another Double XP Weekend in North America after Issue 16 launches.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to those of you who were unable to enjoy the event as a result of this, and would like to thank you for your patience as we work to resolve these types of issues in the future.

We appreciate your continued support.

What does /netgraph 1 give you ? You should get a nice low green lawn. If you're getting lots of tall green spikes, or little bits of red, you can figure out your problem from there.

(/netgraph 0 turns off the netgraphery.)

I have never seen such a lag filled double XP weekend in all of my time here. I had fun for the most part, but the lagging was awful.
