When I did it I got a second account and just ran it with myself and advertised every night at the same time on LBx. At first there weren't too many people joining but eventually a decent number of people joined in consistently.
you have to farm the last two
Best to set them up when you are headed to bed try to get people that have the longbow healer also, people don't have to be an emp to heal farm

It's better to save the Mystery, than surrender to the secret...
If you have an emp, you'd be better off doing the Fire Imps/Tank in a lava bath than the Arena. Arena is only really useful for those that don't have an AoE/ST non-interruptible, non-target based heal.
Do you still need to have an enemy combatant using AoE attacks for arena gladiator farms?
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

[/ QUOTE ] you've never needed that... or at least I've never used it. I usually kept the enemy as far away as possible just to avoid problems.
IIRC, the AI had changed in a way that makes the other method not even really work well anymore, though it might still be possible.. and I found that trying to use that method didn't seem to provide enough extra credit to be worth the hassle of getting it set up anyway.
I can't think of any places with lava other than unique maps usually near the end of a tf or story arc. Striga volcano and the save Statesman from Tyrant are all that come to mind.
And I guess I can't setup the arena thing since you need the other longbow warden. The one I have is just ss/inv.

No, and you never did.
It used to be that you could get better progress with enemies attacking, but the AI has been changed and it's no longer effective (i.e. they kill each other no matter how you set them).

Or, you could get someone who is working on their Damage badge. Have them get walloped, and you turn on your ST heal on autofire.
But ya, the Tyrant map is what I was getting at, in terms of lava.
My only issue with the auto heal thing that darn auto log out. What do you guys usually setup to keep it from auto logging you out?

It's funny but no one I know is currently running many AFK farms right now.
They cut into Day Job badge time. 
But I assume once more people start to finish off the Day Job badges (assuming no more are added) then I'll start hearing about people doing them regularly again.

This still ~6 months away no? I am at 14 or 15 I think and that was taking advantage of a few of the multi credit spots (and lucking out and getting 3 at issue launch) and I get the feeling that GR will add at least 1.
On a side note it is fun to look at all my random credit bits from either game crashes or toggle drop bugs.

I'm running one as I type this. Just not with my badger. He's got all the heal badges. Back when I was helping people farm rep, I got Disruptor on a second toon and, so far, have earned the first two SG heal badges for 20 different SG's. Currently working on #21.

My statement was obviously based on the reasonable presumption that anyone who'd want to run AFK farms for personal badges would probably be doing it with badging characters who'd also currently be interested in collecting the Day Job badges. I'm pretty safe in saying that'd account for about 99.9% of the playerbase at this point. Let's just say no one's talking about setting up AFK farms in the badging channels I'm involved with right now. *shrugs*
Any SG badge goofiness like you described is therefore your own problem.

eh, I think more than .1% of the playerbase has altruistic tendencies. Look at PCSAR and the Taxibots.

Pretty sure BMT of Champion still runs one every night. I'm rarely on when it gets announced these days, though.
im willing to do a heal farm nitely at around 1 am Eastern..on freedom..pst @ABko ...rest mode in RWZ with 1 or 2 lvl 54 minions is a good way to get damage badges too. use AE or obo tfs to stop autolog

Most of what those groups do to be altruistic have nothing to do with AFK badging. My "99.9%" hyperbole was related to people being generally demotivated from AFK badging due to Day Jobs. That figure had nothing to do with the overall amount of altruism there is in this game or even random one-of-a-kind AFK farming exceptions like yours.
I was simply making the observation that the Day Job badges have had the amusing side effect of temporarily demotivating most AFK badging in general. Obviously there will be exceptions like ComixGeek mentioned (because there is nothing truly absolute in this world) but my key point still stands. I suspect there will come a time when AFK farming will return in popularity once the majority of the personal badge collectors have the Day Jobs behind them.

Day Jobs sure put a hold onto my Heal Badging (got the first 4 solo - and to others on my server it seems as farms have pretty much stopped being run on Freedom, at least openly). Still got the last 2 to go but I'll give em a whirl someday soon
Then, it'll be last 2 infl and last Pillbox. Oh the pain!

I recently got my Disruptor Badge and with it my Longbow Warden 2 - So far my Peacebringer has farmed the first 2 heal badges - I would be very interested in running some Arena heal farms.
Day Job badges are kool and all but anyone can solo those easily at anytime but Arena Heal farmz generally need the help of others in game.

Been reading a bit about these. Does anyone ever set these up anymore? I have a emp that needs the last 2 heal badges and my sg still needs most of them hehe. My emp is on liberty and I'd like to finally get these badges as I don't see how its possible without some sort of farm.
