There are other missions you can do with a huge map and go from 1-28 in 30 mins. Just play around with it.
Too much xp you say..lol

I should probably take this moment to talk about what the Mission Architect is not meant for. It is not meant for "easy leveling" or "badging" or "farming". Those are things that we specifically wanted the Mission Architect NOT to do. This may be a disappointment to some, I know. The goal was to give creative minds an outlet to tell the stories they have in their heads. We didn't want the system clogged with Farm missions, so actually finding someone's story that they lovingly crafted became more a chore than it was worth.

Because people have something the good lord gave us, it's called FREE WILL! Not everyone is farming but maybe people are sick of saving joe blow, bring joe blow back to the entrance.. ect..
People like myself have played this game since beta & are here for possibly PVP or a different reason & arent here to read story's...
I'm sorry people can't all think like positron but yanno what people think differently, maybe some people sont want to ready stories or a comic book. Maybe they want to make a pvp character & pvp.
My whole point is...
This game has way too many people who are too concerned about what other people do & not what they are doing! It's making me sick! Crying nerf all the time is ridiculous.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO FARM.....
THEN UMMM.... DON'T FARM?

Its ok, hes just worried about what other people are doing ("Speaking up against ez AE").
If its not broken, it doesnt need to be fixed, so why worry?
Just pointing out that going from 1 to 28 in 30 minutes kinda falls under the "easy leveling" Positron was referring to.

technically all levelling in COH is easy. You have to make a serious effort or lack thereof to not hit 30 within a week or two of serious play.
Want comedy and lighthearted action? Between levels 1-14? Try Nuclear in 90 - The Fusionette Task Force!

Ummm....Wooosh? lol
No way you can get to 1-28 in 30 mins of regular content.
AE on the other hand....
I was talking about 1 - 28 in regular missions not AE!
I'm sorry this game isnt rocket science to me.
I'm sorry it doesnt take me 3 week's to get to level 30....
I'M SORRY.. I CAN'T LEVEL SLOW LIKE YOU WANT ME TOOOOOO
I'M SORRRRRRRRRY!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAA CRY......!!!!!!!

You could look at it this way.
You could also look at it as freeing up three players who would rather do something besides bridge.
And if you think that running through a mission with 7 lowbies SK'ed to your level is going to be easy on anyone?

It's good to see some of the regulars made their way here.

Yes. via an exploit. We're not arguing about the speed of an exploit. but without an exploit even in AE you cant achieve that speed.

Funny, 2 boxed one of my chars, got him to 26 in about 30 mins of farming. No Exploits, just culled waves and waves of Lts (+5 to my door sitter).
Oh i forgot this is a bs session. Your right, it cant be done, Xp in regular missions is better!
Well, I guess the easy way to tell if you're exploiting is logging in one day as a 50 fully slotted, then logging in the next day nerfed down 40 levels and without all your cool gear. :P
The Dev's have made their stand on extreme-exploit farming pretty obvious after the second wave of character nerfs that went out recently from the comm farms, and if you're honestly daring/stupid enough to PL an alt from 1-50 in a matter of hours....you're almost welcoming a nerf for yourself.
As it stands, I'm apprehensive to farm AT ALL now because there's no telling if and/or when the Dev's are going to lay a massive crackdown out. When I play at all of course...It's hard to find motivation to play a game when you know that you're going to end up doing something boring because that's the only available thing to do.

How lucky for me that you're wrong on both counts. Firstly, WoW isn't like that at all, not that I recommend you play it, but any game that lets you start a new character at Lv56 isn't about putting in the effort, definitely not in combat.
Secondly, stop telling me which games are or are not for me... I pay my fees so I can be the judge of which games I'll play or not... 
(sounds familiar? )
EDIT :: Also, had to add this after reading some of your posts here... do you truly believe anyone is envious of how fast you level your characters or how "accomplished" you are in an MMO? Really??
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

How does "being here for PvP" preclude you from having to level your character in a non-exploit manner? My VG PvPs all the time. Should we all get free characters and IOs too?

People are concerned about what you are doing because your taking advantage of exploits will affect everyone. The nerf bat isn't a precision guided missile.... it's an atomic bomb.

I dunno. personally I don't mind speeding up the leveling up to around 18 I generally just want to get there as quick as possible and don't care about stories on the way. At the same time I detest farming so I guess I don't do that in and kind of efficient fashion. I know that I can generally, through normal gameplay in 3 hours with a full team gain about 5-6 levels in the sub 20 levels. It doesn't suprise me in the least the people who have figured out how to exploit the system can do it faster.
Once you get to level 20 or more specifically 22 you are going to be hurting for money. Then again if you already have a 50 or have friends with 50's that isn't a big deal either. Even so you problably want to slow down on the power leveling.
Once you get to 45 or so. Eh you aren't going to miss out on anything new at that point and you might as well just get it done.

You made me LAWL!
What a TROLL!
Having a mission full of lvl 54 Lt's and repeating it 1,000 times isnt an exploit. It's my freedom to creat my own story about a bunch of level 54 angry Lt's!
If you don't like my story arc full of lvl 54 Lt's then guess what don't call it a farm.. don't call it an exploit either!
It's my own creation, and if I choose to have my mission very difficult with all lvl 54 Lt's for a challenge then that's my idea not your's.
If my all lvl 54 Lt mission is too difficult for you I'm soooooooooo sorry, maybe make a character that can handle the damage?
Your idea of a story arc and mine are totally different, as the same as the next guy.
So have an open mind and stop calling things exploits ect... just because it isnt the way you want it. An open mind does wonder's you should try iy.
By you calling peoples created missions an exploit just because they are all one level and one type ect.. doesnt mean it's exploiting it's someone's hard work and thought behind it.
I can get a team and repeat your mission over and over... does that make it a farm??? because you can repeat any mission in this game.
Keep an open mind, the world is a wonderful place! enjoy it!

Seriously. You're not fooling anyone. You're creating questionable content in the AE to get fast, easy XP with minimal risk.
If it's such a great story and a non-farming, non-exploit arc, post the arc ID and we can review it for you

Please explain how fighting a lot of lieuts is an exploit. I can see how loading up on comm officers or mending mitos could be called an exploit, but plain ole lieuts? That just sounds like a childish whine to me.
Creating easy content for fast, riskless XP is not what the AE was designed for.

When MMOs' will reward players based on effort and playing ones' role in combat, I'm not talking about RP'ing here, then I'd say that would be not-broken. Until such time, they're all broken to varying degrees.
