I prefer content over exp. Whether that content is dialog forming a story, or creative use of powers, or interesting battles, I want to play something that interests me. It's been quite a while since I realized that I'm not in a hurry to get experience because focusing on experience or recipes or any other type of reward is what makes for grinding. If it's a farming story with interesting battles and creative costumes (and possibly even good dialog), then I'll enjoy it.
Unfortunately, farming missions don't have interesting or fun battles. The very things that make an opponent interesting or challenging or fun go against the very nature of farming.... quick easy fights for fast exp.

The only problem with defeating the Tsoo is that an hour later, you want to defeat them again!

This. If it's an "interesting" farm then it's probably not a real farm, or at least it's not an optimized one.
I'll take story, thanks. My level fifty doesn't need anything rewards that might come from farming and my other characters are more interested in doing something other than repetitive drudge work.

Didn't mommy and daddy pay any attention to you when you were a child?

Yours obviously didn't. :O
I want story when I play, and I focus on story when I write my arcs. If great rewards are a side effect, then that's nifty, but generally coincidence.
lol yeah. I guess what I meant was do you use AE just to see stories as opposed to using it only for Farming Xp.
I'm just glad they finally put out guidance as to where the official threads were located.
