Wow, I have to say that this makes me a bit chaffed. I don't get how there has not been a nasty memo about this like it was for other things not being used as intended.
No worries, I now feel no pain with feeling that he needs to shove both of those memos up his keyster. Carry on.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

That's part of the reason I suggested that all IO sets (except Purple) be available as PvP drops. As it stands now, the pool (although set for random drops) is waaay to shallow. This lack encourages farming in the same manner as if a specific drop pool was applied to a specific enemy group or rank.
It's also part of the reason I made the secondary suggestion of having all IO sets have both PvE and PvP effects.
The primary reason was the just the initial, sheer (IMO) exclusionary nature of a reward...
[But there probably wasn't any hostility from him being that PvPers are an extreme minority compared to the rest of the playerbase and the reward itself doesn't have the same impact as Powerleveling/PowerFarming at any level; no channel spams, email spams or massively long lines to PvP Farm in lieu of other content]
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Because nobody ever said PVP was not supposed to be used to kill other characters repeatedly, but it was very clear from before release that the MA was not supposed to be used to farm.
Just a guess.

Thank you 
I like your killer bunny of doom.
There is "supposed" to be some kind of risk according to them, but that seems to only apply to a certain type of farming. That is total crapola...total.
I have ZERO problem with players farming this till the cows come home. I have nothing but contempt for devs and players hypocrisy concerning the issue, they can ALL shove their righteous indignation about farming up their keysters and bugger off.

One of your SG members might go crazy and start killing everyone at any moment even though you've created an agreement to take turns fighting for pvp recipes. I've considered it multiple times when I farm in the Arena.
That's not risk?
edit:
... Yea that's not risk....
Risk in the Arena = none.

My sg members are known for doing that.
