I really wish there was a channel specifically set up for people looking for AE "fast leveling/we don' need no steenkin' story" teams and another one for AE story focused missions. Then, we could actually read broadcast without the constant barrage of "lft/lfm for AE boss mission", etc.. People could use broadcast for regular game missions and everyone would have a place to look for what they really want/need.
As the old song goes, "Dream along with me." 
(we really need a rolly eyes smilie on the boards)

Thanks for posting this - I think the same way and also feel like ranting.
I have liked playing around with making my own AE missions, etc and teaming with sg mates for theirs. But the overwhelming farming mentality of the game has kind of made the excitement of AE wear off for me.
Also, my main is a 50 fire/kin that I've played for 2 years that I enjoy all teaming with and did not make specifically to farm with like so many did. Now every time I log in, I get so many tells with "Join 54 boss farm" and an immediate invite that I promptly decline. It's worse than the tells I'd get from PI farmers before MA hit. I too have been ending up just doing ITF often.
I made my first new toon today and entered Atlas like I usually did in the past (but this is the first time I've gone there since i14 because I always kept to IP or PI for making my missions) and all there was was constant broadcasting from level 30+ for AE teams...so I'm not really sure anymore where a level 2 can go for teaming and said as much in broadcast and was immediately insulted by a few people.
I'm hoping i15 and Rogue will make this fun for me again.
