The AE Problem

I'm not sure where i post this but this seems like a good place since it's an idea i got on how to help the devs. I know the pling is a problem with ae. You want people to experience the game right. Well put a restriction on the door like rwz making it so you have to be lvl 50 or a high lvl to enter. That way the only farms that will be made are the ones just to get influence. The prices on enhancements, ios, bonus ios, and other stuff are high. So i believe people might work toward 50 so they can make influence or if they want to make there own arc. This will make it so no lvl 1s can pl there self to 50 in 1 or 2 days. I hope this helps. I know there will be alot of flaming against this post but i know alot will agree with me that it might work.

I'm not gonna flame you even though this definitely isn't going to be received well by the general forum populace (I really couldn't care less whether it happens, I play AE mishes for the content), but, please, if you're going to voice an opinion like this, look for the threads that are already discussing this.

This was on the same page and covers the exact same topic.

The Mission Architect was advertised from day 1 as something for all levels. When it was revealed that it would give XP, it was changed from "available at all levels" to "you can level from 1-50 without leaving the AE building". How would they stick to this key feature, if they locked everyone but the 50's out?

a tip on searching.

1. Click on "Search" up at the top of the forum.
2. On the left, under "Forum(s) to search," select "Suggestions and ideas."
3. On the right, Keyword Search Terms. This is probably where your problem was if you did search. Try the following, exactly as typed:

+vehicle -"re: "

This will search for anything with the string "vehicle" in the title.The -re: portion of it removes replies, so you'll see the root of every thread that comes up, letting you see just how many threads there are on this. (The last helps for other subjects, as well.)

Be sure to put the space between the colon and last quote.

4. Click the "In subject" radio button. This is a search, not a cute blonde in a bikini. Here, you want to ignore the body.

5. Leave Username Search blank.

6. Date range, Newer Than, change the 1 to a 3, and the time to Months.

7. Result format doesn't matter. Click on "Submit."

I'm sorry but you are mistaken. This is what was actually said by Positron about the AE concerning farming and powerleveling..


[ QUOTE ]
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 don’t 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 can’t 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.

Farming and powerleveling aren't banned. Using exploits and abusing the reward system is.

If you were paying attention to the market you would have seen that the prices had dropped drastically on many items. Those drops are were the result of players selling things they aquired while playing the MA.

The devs have already resolved that exploit.

The only flaming going on is coming from the people that are angry their exploits have been removed. Simply pointing out that your suggestion is based on faulty assumptions is not flaming.

In your search tips you forgot to mention looking on the front page.

Sorry. I used one of Memphis Bill's Cut and Paste responses and Umbral already pointed that out.
