Would end the power leveling that everyone not-including myself is so upset about according to Positron. Would make Atlas park an accessible zone for lowbies again. Would also be something more to look forward to at level 50. Anything else?

This game lacks end-game content. Put an AE building in PI, Grandville, and the Rikti War Zone. Make AE building accessible only to level 50 toons. That's all.

1. AE arcs are made by the players not the devs. So you can't ask the devs to force players to make content they don't want to make.
2. AE stories can be made in any zone, for any level, for any faction.
3. You are free to make your own arcs. So if you want level 50 missions, go make some.
So what happens to the new player who has some great ideas who wants share them with the rest of us? AE is a big selling point for the game right and to turn around changing that is not really a good idea for the growth of this game.

And yet people are being threatened by the Devs for creating/running missions that they want which include but are not limited to farm missions.

Hello new player, thank you for purchasing this new boxed version of City of Heroes: Architect Edition! You'll be able to play with the feature you purchased to play with just as soon as you see all of the other content in the game!
Also, we know you were looking forward to teaming with your friends using the much-touted sidekick system, but they're using a feature you can't!
We hope you enjoy your time here in Paragon City!
...
I don't think so.

Then feel free not to complain when players use the AE system the way they see fit.

I would like to make up Textilian complaining about powerleveling even though she never did because I can't counter her point about the stupidity of level-locking a game feature so big it got its own box set!

Look, I can misquote, too!
Bunch of hypocrisy thus far. O yeah! Use the system the way THE PLAYER base sees fit! Oh, no no no! Not that way! You are leveling too fast and angry old man and angry old lady can't find a team because their entire SG left i13.

Players that have abused the reward system egregiously may lose benefits they have gained - leading up to and perhaps including losing access to the characters power-leveled in this fashion.
Players who knowingly use an exploit when creating an arc, run the risk of having access to MA suspended, or worse- depending on the severity of the action, their account banned.
Q) If I powerlevelled a character, am I going to lose them?
A) Probably not. Only the worst of the worst, exploitive, powerlevelled characters will be removed from the game.
Q) What about all the farming and abusing that goes on in the normal game? How come you guys dont put a stop to that?
A) We address rewards abuse all the time. We put timers on missions that could get reset for rewards. We take rewards off of critters that are considered exploitively farmable. Or we just change the mission. Merit rewards are another way we have handled the situation. You cant run really fast stuff over and over and get a reward every time. Again, we are looking out for Disregard for the risk and/or time to reward ratio, and we take action.

I don't care at all about farming nerfs. To the best of my knowledge there was one single farming nerf and that was the Rikti Command Officers which were giving incorrect XP. So, the door is thataway--->

By far the most articulate post yet. But my point is farm missions in AE appear to be bannable based on my current understanding of this new system. Most players will never come to the forums and will never understand why their missions slots are being removed. If everyone else could remember my first post, it wasn't to allow farming but it was to do the opposite so that 'action' is not needed to be taken against individuals.
No.
This is a Horrendous idea.
Among other things it separates the player base into 50's and 'everyone else'
The Boxed Set has already shipped. It's too late to alter the text on the box now, and anything else would be false advertising.
Please feel free to end this thread, Now. If you feel like moaning about Powerleveling, Farming, and Exploits: please go to the appropriate threads and stop cluttering up the Suggestions forum with a thinly veiled excuse to bash the Devs.

You seem angry. This is merely a suggestion not a mandate. At the end of the day it is a video game so don't blow your lid. Also, 50s SHOULD be seperate from other players to an extent. Isn't that why we have different level zones? It is not like AE is the only thing in the game anyways. Right now, at least on fReedom AE is the game. What about all of the other [censored] this game 'has to offer' ?
Off to work. Just needed a good discussion before I go. Later kiddos.
-Ares-
How sad. You can't come up with a counter-argument to the points brought up against your suggestion, so you resort to trying to imply the other side is responding emotionally.
50s can exemplar. 10s can sidekick up. The player base in CoH is the most malleable of all games on the market.
As to why I seem irritated

Those would be why. Each and every one of them yet another "Posi sucks! AE Should be farmable or noone should have it! WAH" comment.
So of the 10 posts you've made in this thread (including the first post) 7 have included something childish and irritating.
End of thread. Take your cries to the appropriate thread. Don't make a half-hearted attempt at a "Suggestion" to cover it up and draw people into posting against your suggestion, which you seem to feel gives you license to complain about the MA fixes and exploiter bannings.

OK. I stand corrected. Rachel was irrritated. My bad.
However, she's still sexy. 
Sorry, Forbin. But I'm sick and tired.... Not of the arguments (though that too) I mean-sick-...
I'll try to get back to my happy go lucky self ASAP. Pleh. *hunts for Pepto Bismol*
