this is total nonsense.

i am a 45 month vet in a 3 month vet suit. and i own...
I would like that suggestion to be implemented for Trial accounts.
Mate are you serious or just a trollin?
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
The developers don't want hordes of people power-leveling to 50 in the blink of an eye, no matter who those people are.
So, this proposal doesn't really solve anything.

Hmm, remove one of the most active features in years on a niche game that is five years old and facing serious heavyweight entrees at the end on the year. Brilliant.

AE is one of the most ambitions things ever tried in a game. Some people are putting on thier pouty faces. They are personally insulted because some computer programmers were compelled to alter it. Come here, let's hug. There, there. Time to get over it; the sonner the better.
AE is still awesome, even with the changes. I expect it to get better and better. I expect the game to get better and better in general, and, generally, it has. So exercise a little patience and have a little faith.

Removing AE doesn't seem like a very good idea at all.
A lot of people have embraced this new addition to the game for all kind of different reasons.

Ok, i see where my idea has flaws, maybe a lot of flaws, just fix AE so we don't get noob 50 players who dont know what the heck they are doing, and every time i go to atlas i dont see this in broadcast every 2 seconds: "LF AE team!" then it would be better. The idea behind AE is great, the reality of it being a farm fest blows.

you are going to have lv 50 toons that don't know how to play their toons very well no matter what you do. the difference between a "noob" and a vet is most of the vet's have experience in how most of the powers behave. unless they pl'd an at that they haven't tried before, then it takes them a little longer to get used to it. the difference is they are not afraid to ask about things in game where the new player is because of the bs answers he sees in broadcast.
and yes, your ideas are completely stupid on how to fix the ae. and since this seems to be a rant about farms, as shown in the last sentence of your post, it needs to be taken to the appropriate thread for farm discussion that mod8 made in the City Life section.

believe it or not, the devs really arent idiots... I know tough concept... I would be willing to bet that most of them have masters degrees in computer science or sumtin like that...
it amazes me that 12 year old whiners actually think that some spew they put on a forum can solve the worlds problems... go World Peace

/agree. The MA is the best thing that happened to CoX in my opinion. I cant even think of a better update in any game I played previously.
It's the thing that might make me stay here even when all those new MMOs gonna be released.
My idea for making the MA better : add multiple choice missions, with different ways and endings. Would be awesome, as it would definitely avoid the feeling "well I'm still only killing mobs and clicking glowies following a linear story afterall" !

In my experience, at least 3/4 of the players in this game fit this mold (my wife included). They played that character honestly all the way to 50, but they still have no idea which way is up half the time. They depend on team leaders to guide them and such (or in her case, me sitting next to her reminding her how to get to PI again).
They're called "casual players." Their lives don't revolve around MMO's and they do this for fun. They don't memorize Orenbaga maps and they don't have your plan for blitzing the Positron TF in 30 minutes tattooed on their forearms, either.
They exist in every game. They always have. They always will. Pretending the MA suddenly created bad players who happen to have a 50 is ludicrous. As if getting a 50 takes anything other than just logging in a lot anyway.

You mean you don't know? Farmers are the real cause behind world hunger, poverty, racism, and the global economic de-leveraging. It is only the farmers themselves that don't see that they're the root of all the world's evil.

Sorry Keep. I just now noticed someone replied to my comment.
I believe you are correct, Trial accounts can't use the AE at all. I would prefer they be able to run at least the Dev's Choice content similar to what the OP is suggesting. Frankly, I don't know why they can't use the whole thing but just be unable to Publish. But that's just me.
If you re-read the OP with an eye toward applying it to the Trial accounts then you can see what I mean. Just throw out all the piffle that wouldn't apply to them.
Hi all,
I posted this in another thread but it might be better posted here
My solution for fixing AE in one fell swoop
a. Create a new non-AE server (label is AE-free zone) where everyone that wants the AE gone can go and play to their hearts content with absolutely no AE spam...
Or, a better option...
b. Take one of the existing low population servers, and completely remove the AE bldgs from that one server (label it AE-free zone), offer the entire population of the game one free server transfer per existing toon to whichever server they would like and then the problem is solved...
Just my $0.02 but this seems like an easy fix to me

I really do wonder sometimes if the only people who have ideas on how to "fix" MA have also suffered serious head trauma. The vast majority of their ideas are straight up terrible.

It's not the farmers who ruined AE. It's efficiency experts who build one-mission farcs* that are designed to maximize rewards while minimizing risk. Those missions cause a disturbance in the Force (read: get datamined/reported/noticed by GM's/Devs) which results in the Devs escalating their methods of exploit-prevention (I'm sure they'd like to think of their nerfs as exploit-prevention, but sadly it simply causes efficiency experts to migrate and flock to other techniques) which in turn may actually cause problems to people who merely wanted to craft story-arcs for their stories.
It's a chain reaction... it's the circle of... AE.

Give newbies limited access to AE, like they can access ranked missions like devs choice and high ranks like that, and allow them to create their own story and test it, but if they wanna publish it and play it for xp and access the rest of the features and stories in AE, they need at least one vet badge, this will prevent newbies from farming AE and getting to 50 and not knowing how to play for real, and vets who don't want to take the time to level normally will have the option of farming AE if they want. That way it is a win-win situation, so newbies are forced to learn the game, and vets who are bored with leveling normally can farm AE. I am open to suggestions on how to make this idea even better. I know the newbies will gripe if this is implemented, but it is better than taking away levels from everyone who farms AE, even the vets. The problem is with newbie 50s not the vets. This idea should get rid of newbie 50s
