Well, I finally played a couple of Dev Choices. My problem with them ISN'T that I found the ones I played to be no better or no worse than some of the other MArcs I've played, and really enjoyed.

My problem is that when I took my level 8 scrapper into a DC arc, they started getting training enhancements again ... and I missed them from playing all the other MArcs.

What made this worse for me was that of both DC's I played, I faced the same mobs I've fought a million times before. In the others, I had custom mobs and new challenges to level up with.

Now, of course, there may be other DC's that are rich with custom mobs that I haven't played yet ... so one solution for me is just to find them and play them. Check.

But another solution might be for Dev's to allow toons under the SO level to get drops in MArcs. I know that there's a terrible farming problem in MA, so I understand why non-drops are necessary. But there's a part of me that thinks that no one is going to farm for Training Enhancements ... or even DOs for that matter.

So my question is, should Dev's reconsider how they implement their nodrop rules for MArcs?

Discuss.

You realize you can buy Training Enhancements from the ticket vendors using tickets earned in non-DC arcs, right? You can get exactly what you want, instead of relying on random drops, and at +3 your level no less.

Nope! Didn't realize that! I'm an idiot!

I am so used to saving merits and MA tickets for "super" rolls that it never ocurred to me to use them for training enhancements or even DOs for that matter.

Man, do I feel foolish.
