I disagree. I would, in fact, argue the exact opposite position.

There are a lot of very good missions to run in MA. The problem is that they tend to get buried behind hundreds of pages of farms and crap.

I support this idea. Anything that helps identify Farm Missions is a good thing.

You keep telling yourself that. No one would play the "good" mishs if they took all teh "crap" out, because without the "crap" no one would ever be in AE.
I'm not hostile to people doing whatever they think is fun, but the SFMA crowd need to realize that they're a small subculture like the RP'ers or the the hard-core farmers. Difference is, when you make "farming for dummies" possible, a big chunk of the community wants in. When you give them tools for expanded RP, <crickets>.

This statement runs so amazingly opposite to my experiences, I don't even know what to say. Pretty much all of my SG mates who've given up on the architect have done so exactly because it's glutted with farms and there's not much 'real' content. We're not even an RP group - just that if we want inf, we have infinitely better ways of getting it than AE provides, and we've all got enough 50s to know there's pretty much zero point in racing up levels any more - it's not like there's an end game.

May as well advertise to the cops that you're gonna run a cannonball.... not that I'm against such a 'contest'... but discretion will serve you well in the long run.
tl;dr version - don't advert that kind of event on the official forums.

Without the "crap" the people whose presence in AE doesn't help us wouldn't be in AE. By "us" I mean the people who are interested in writing and playing actual story arcs. The people who play the crap don't play our stuff anyway. All they do is make it so I can't go to Cap on Freedom without my comp seizing up. They won't be playing my arc, they won't be playing any arc I would actually be interested in playing, they can leave the AE and never come back for all I care.

Are you farming that reply darth ?
If anything this thread should go in player events.
Pretty much its going to be my reply to every single post regarding that issue.
Especially after catching a "couple" of strident anti farmers here in the forums actually farming in game. I am sick of the hypocrisy.

I think you find what you're looking for. Whenever I look at the MA I find lot's of fun, creative, and interesting missions. Sadly, many are unrrated..theres just so many I don't think it's possible to play them all.
But if you go into the MA in ATLAS looking for a farm, well that's what you'll find. If you go to any of the other zones (which I do for the peace and quiet) there's plenty of fun non-farming mish's to be had.

Glass half full, glass half empty...Me, I'm lazy, I'd like to just click a mission with an interesting sounding title and be assured that it at least has a semblance of a story and someone put some effort into making it. I'd be willing to bet much of the player base is equally lazy.
It's actually less effort to go to the forums and sift through a thread here or in the "Stories and Lore" forum until I find an interesting sounding arc in someone's sig than to look for one in the MA search window. That's problematic IMO, considering the stated intent of the MA.

While I fervently disagree with the above feelings on MA (and actually feel it's quite rude since many people, including myself, have put a decent amount of effort into fun, plot-driven arcs), this does sound like an interesting experiment. I'll be eagerly awaiting the results.

You are in the wrong thread, farmer, and you lie.
Since you are obviously working to exploit the game, I hope the DEVs ban your account.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hey now, farming is not exploiting. A lot of people use exploiting to farm, but farming in itself is not against any rules. Personally, I don't like doing it, and I don't appreciate all the badly made 1-mission farm arcs that are clogging up the MA (and making it hard to find worthwhile stories to play) either, but farming itself is not a bannable offense. Just take this person here:
[ QUOTE ]
I made a 2 mission arc with text and one custom rad/Inv elite boss.
It has all the characteristics of a farm. It has text and clues. it has the hobo inquisition attacking you.
[/ QUOTE ]
Obviously a farmer. Yet made an arc with a plot, and one that sounds very fun on top of that. I'm going to go look for this arc later today.
Though yeah, this should probably go into the player events forum.

But ebil farmers are. We are the sole reason why this game is going down the tube!!111!!1!1!oneonewunwun
say, solo? you would lose.
Funny thread, filled with ill-logic and broad generalization.... well played. PS farmers have always been around, farmers can in many cases be considered a constant. Bad farmers are bad, bad farmers spam in atlas and cap. Good farmers are good. In a short response to the OP, 1-50 3.5 hours?
I made a ivul/ss tanker and used my 50 fire/kin to recrute a 50 stone tanker and others and do lvl 54 boss missions and got my new tank 1-46 in 1 day. I didnt play the entire day but 1-50 in 1 day is possible doing lvl 54 boss farms only.
