Yeah, that would be counterproductive for the farm builders. They'd be attracting exactly the wrong sort of people...kinda like inviting the police to tour your meth lab.

That is so apropos. The really good farms I know of are NEVER publicized and they stay unpublished unless the creator runs it or a friend of the creator requests to run it.

if you can honestly tell me you never went to the sewers when you started out for faster levels then you can talk, everyone does sewers when you start a new toon. sewers=low level farming.

I can honestly tell you my heroes start in Galaxy City and run their origin contact's missions then head to Kings Row. I've done sewers on ONE character (TWO YEARS after I started playing), hated it (horribly inefficient) and haven't done them since. The time spent standing around Atlas broadcasting for a sewer team, I spend actually DOING missions, gettin' xp & loot, and making progress.
But I do agree that the game's basically one big farm. That's because my primary focus is character progression. That's not always levels though (I've made three mints worth of inf, on both sides, "playing the market". That's progression to me as well).

And some of yall think you are SOOOO funny. I picked an AE mission to solo last night and out of pure curiosity saw a mission that BLATANTLY read Rescue Rikti Communication Officer or something like that. I was like, "no way, they must WANT to get banned". So, out of curiosity, and thinkin the creator must have been living under a rock the last 2 weeks, I decided to check it out to see if it was a boring farm. If it was a farm I'd simply quit and go back to my AE fun mission hunting lol.
Well I zone in, and it's a farm...I mean actually on a FARM complete with barns, but heres the thing. No hordes of Rikti, which I was relieved. But the goal was to rescue the RIKTI from the farmhands and scarecrows and other "barnyard referencing" villains. I thought it was pretty funny, in a sarcastic sense. Like the creator was sayin "haha devs, you say I cant make farms with Rikti Comm. Officers but I found a way around your rules haha". Well I got halfway through and exited, but I left kinda confused as to the creator's intent. lol But it was a cool little mission though.

You would be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't) at how many missions Positron features heavily into nowadays. Either as the contact (helmed and sans helm) or as the AV mission objective. I myself have counted 31.

I get surprisingly good results just doing searches on the global names of forum posters and global chatters. Doesn't matter if I'm friends with them, just that they're making themselves visible. It may just be a fluke; it may be that there's a correlation between post/chat volume and writing quality; it may be that people who build farms don't post on this forum or chat in global channels.
baron_inferno sounds like a (non-Paragon Studios) dev. I know of several from other games that, in the weeks prior to MA's release, made bets between themselves about how long it would take before the first exploit surfaced (the 38 Studios dev won).
Generally speaking, there really isn't a way to completely avoid farm arcs. At least not without eliminating non-farm arcs (collateral damage) at the same time. Probably the best way to do it is by avoiding single mission arcs (there are a few multi-mission farms I'm aware of, but those are generally unpublished most of the time. They're basically one mission duplicated with small tweaks to get around/mitigate the ticket nerf).
One surefire way to find non-farm missions is to play every mission you see advertised in a sig here. Every one, without exception. No one with a decent farming mish/arc is going to openly advertise it here (if you don't know why, you better ask somebody 
).
