I can honestly say, that after 22 toons to 50, many others past 35, that no matter what kind of PvE they introduce, will be boring.
Once i got into PvP, once someone learns that, and truely enjoys it, PvE becomes a mindless grind. Obtw, its still quiet possible to get 50s in stupidly quick times, the thing is tho, as long as no one says anything, the devs wont find it.
[My new fastest time is 7 hours, 14 min.] Doubt the devs can figure it out anyways. :P

With how fast people level up during double xp weekend, coupled with how fast people ALREADY level up during AE boss farms, even with PuG's........hmmm.....how in the world will that NOT make their "level too fast" alarms go off?
Maybe like half the toons in the game will get deleted from that weekend.

Not the ones that aren't in the AE running exploit missions and powerleveling farms.
So all of mine are safe.
Maybe that's a good enough excuse to run "normal" content for a weekend?

Don't you have anything better to do than bring your carebear [censored] into a PvP forum?
In regards to the OP, it seemed like the cutoff for deletions/bannings was right around 10 hours. I had a character that got 50 in 9 hours deleted but my 11-hour 50 was fine.

It's off datamining. They can see how much of a 'burst' of XP your character is getting in a period of time. When the imps were around, you could easily gain a level a minute, heck maybe more than that if you had enough damage.
I know a couple people that got toons deleted because of that map...they made 1-50 in about...I'd say 4-6 hours easy.
Think if you're going 1-50 in 1-3 or 4 hours it'll raise eyebrows; can't say offiically of course because I don't know their metric. Besides which, I'm pretty sure they survey which maps you were on as well as a measuring stick...those get hit with the "Invalid" marker.
TLDR: I'd imagine 1-50 in under 2-3 hours would raise eyebrows, but I do not expect any deletions/etc. Grain of salt of course, as I do not know their metric or intentions.

Players were warned in advance that the MA/AE is/was not intended to be used as a farming or power-leveling tool and that players that exploited the system in this manner would be punished.
It was quite clear in the release notes. It has been repeated since then. The loopholes need to be sealed, but they are currently snares that might trap an exploiter at any moment. The holes are getting sealed. The fact that we were asked not to abuse the system would prompt the honest person not to abuse the system.

i was invited to rikti farm..i didnÖt know it could get me banned.

They don't have to prompt many to do this. That is what farming is. The exact same mission over and over again. Not even a bunch of different missions - just the same one.

Dude you do realize that most maps do look same...even new TFs have same retarded boring council maps where you get stuck in every tube...Council is council, nemesis is nemesis..i can run all possible arcs NPCs are all same, powersets are all same...
You ask me to eat fresh carrot to breakfast, eat carrot soup for lunch and eat carrot <insert w/e dich here> for dinner. It is still all carrot.
I found my fun in pvp because compared to game's AI it is unpredicatble for most part and i play this game mostly for community really now.
I don't feel like run same retarded Tfs and paper missions over and over again just to get new toon for pvp since devs keep nerfing all i get. I am not altoholic really, i love my old toons, but devs don't like them apparently so i have to make new ones over and over again...:x
Ya I had a server full of 50s and i13 wrecked the majority of them so I had to delete some and make more. Don't see how that's my fault.

It was inconsistent. I know of 3 hour babies that went untouched. Ironically one such player had a bunch of these, got no bans/toon deletes only to leave the game for other reasons.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
No longer defending PLing as I think it doesn't need it. You want to take 500 hours of rich "content" to get to 50, have fun; you want to roll a toon when the kids go to bed and play it on the ITF before logging off, that's fine too.
As for the MA, I have still yet to find fun mishes that were not my friends' inside jokes or farms. There are apparently as may bad writers as bad players in this game.
To Alt- No one needs to PUG more often.

We leveled a few toons 1-50 in under one hour. Ironicly, those toons were not deleted, while several of our others were.
I think we are just too fast n' sexah for the devs to handle. I Realize like nine people will be like "NO WAY YOU DIDN'T DO IT IN UNDER AN HOUR ALSIFHLSAIHFOIASFOAS!!!", but, there is an entire thread dedicated to this feat - we have been over this.
<qr>
I have over 40 50s now. A majority of them, in particular early on were pved 100% of the. I would wager this number to be in the high 20s. The one thing I was hoping for to really improve my game experience was someone to judge me for how I leveled the rest of them.
I was actually in a global channel not to long ago talking about ae/farming in general and mentioned my total number of max level toons. the persons reply was I was ripping the game of any real reward by not having experienced all that pve has to offer AND getting all the badges on every toon I have.
Man it must be [censored] awesome to sit in judgment of others who play the same game, but just do it diffrently.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

They won't say anything. MAYBE in a PM, definatly not in public forums though.
I've just kept toons logged in while I'm at work to rack up "play" hours... *shrug*

Are you seriously calling leaving a character logged into the game an EXPLOIT?
Just leaving him logged in????
WTF?!?!?!
haxor I level 1- 50 in 2 years.
I would just like to know how they can even dare delete peoples' alt for leveling to fast. They put the mechanics into the game and couldn't be bothered to beta test the design properly (Or probably more due to the fact the managed to piss off all the beta testers they had).
So, rather than put in the man hours into correcting this, it is far to easy for them to spend countless hours looking through loads of data mined information, than fix the real issue and problems.
Nice one devs, way to go *Shakeshead*

When i think about it my i10 RPing lol BS/dark scrap on dead protector is still 46....i shall lv it up pve'ing! (i doubt i would find any teams on dead server though heh)
I have a character rolled during the headstart that is still sitting at 32.
Top that.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
I've got a few toons that have been in mid 30's for about 4+ years. And I still play them regularly in PvP lol.
That's how much I hate PvE in this game.

Me too. My Emp/dark def is still only 46 and he is like 5 years old. I have PuG'd so many hours they should just give me free levels anyways. Invuln tanks with no shields and all four medicine powers. Other Emps with all four medicine pool powers. Others with all...gah make it stop.
I think after playing for 4+ years my vet reward should be a special respec token for your primary or secondary powerset for one toon per server. So you could change a crappy ice/fire dom into a mind/fire! Or an auto level 50 toon. Something besides a blackwand. C'mon. Really? The appreciation for players who have long since shaped this game is pifitul. There should be Dev hosted events...Free for all warburg nights with a dev on each team playing along with us...Free inspiration day.....Something. Its like they put out an issue and wait for someone to find a hole so they can swing the nerf/ban bat.
what you don't want a rikti monkey that doesn't do anything?

It would be awesome if you selected the auto level 50 toon then the next day, it gets tagged for deletion and you get a 3 day temp ban.
Farming helps the game in so many ways. The market would absolutely SUCK if farming was discouraged more with bannings and deletions, for instance.
