Yeah, they made a game with too much grind and too many repetitive play fields.
I think the devs got the clue.
That is the ugliest outfit ever. Get ye to a tailor.

matt really screwed the pooch on this.
'wee! you guys found a fun way to play that was not intended, and we are going to cripple you for doing so!'
yeah, brilliant.
I can sort of understand Matt closing the hole in the MA system, but threatening to ban a bunch of people and delevel their characters is going WAY WAY too far.
But that's alright, I plan on taking that post to slashdot.
SO, you guys are telling me that you run the SAME content and LIKE it over and over through each alt that you create? Farming may be boring to some BUT running the same content and patiently waiting on stamina and a travel power is just something you LOVE to do?
After reading alot of posts this morning about how people ONLY ran some of the COMM Officers farms to get through the BORING low level content, i think we're all on the same side of the fence. Some just use it longer. Maybe like till level 26 or 32 or until they get to the power they want the most. Personally, i love "playing the game" from 32-50.
I'll throw in my two bits: I definitely would not have resubscribed and bought some of the Booster packs if I didn't have a way to get past the godawful 13-20 slog on my Dominator. On the other hand, I can understand the reasoning, as getting from 1-50 in a single day is somewhat counterintuitive to the idea of an MMO - specifically, the monthly pay scheme part.
While the Meow spam is gone, I think it'll only take a few days before people hone in on an equally easy Lieutenant-class mob and start farming that ad nauseum. I think people will just end up being far sneakier when they do make farms, as a result.

I leveled a 50 build in about... half an hour, from level one on up.
It was when alternate builds came out, I wanted a second build on my L50 Stalker.
... what?

Right but you had to get to 50 in the first place, which took more than an hour.

I can understand this type of thing - wanting to get past a painful level range quickly. Positron was vague about what they consider to be "abuse." I'm hoping they allow this type of thing - speeding to, say, 14, or past the low 20s. I'm guessing they will, and that the characters they end up banning will be those that went the majority of their levels via some XP exploit, rather than those that went only handful.

If people actually opened the tool and used it they would see nothing aside from outliers/exploits have been affected. WAI.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

You can also run legitimate MA arcs to get through the "boring" low level content. Legitimate MA arcs give out XP and tickets too.

I don't know if 'being sneaky' will work. I'm sure the devs are datamining, and any character that shoots up in levels too fast is going to have its history pulled and reviewed.
... hey, it's how we find out-of-scope trends in MY job. Set a performance counter, pull a report when it goes above a threshold, then take a close look at the system and find out what's causing it. Then fix the problem.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
Listen ... no matter how hard the devs try to raise the bar ... there will always be "a mob easier to kill" than all the others ... you will always be able to pack it in one mission ... and if that gets you in trouble ... they will put two mobs ... or 3 until they find just how "little" they need to do to reach "acceptability" ... and once they find it ... they go right back to churning that one stupid mission until their fingers bleed ...
They were in PI before ... but they were there ... this isn't new ... it is just more widespread because it was really tooo easy. Lieutenant rewards for killing minions just wasn't fair ... but that is fixed ... so ... if they actually have to work .. alot will go back to ... who knows.
This is here to stay ... I will just play the game and hope this isn't too anoying.

Who are the "you guys" you are talking about? In reference to the changes to the comm officers was good as they were outliers. Closing the exploits like Snake eggs was good.
Making the already harder than PvE custom critters even harder, no so smart, but as I understand that will be fixed in I15.
Threats to ban accounts Tyrantron's spoiled child ranting, comical at best.

They seem to be working on it.

Then why even make a second toon ... stick with that 1 lvl 50 and ride the wave ... why bother leveling another?
[/ QUOTE ]
Because my Earth/Storm plays way differently, and is useful for different things, than my Rad/Psy, which is different than my Emp, which is different than my MM... and so on and so forth.
If I only had one 50 to do what I do in the game, you're right. It would get damn boring.
