I guess what would determine my answer would be HOW they would get rid of bridging. The whole idea is built upon the fantastic system that is SKing... and if that is negatively impacted. . .

I'd really like to see the difference in experience rewards diminished between -4 and +4 in the later game. Once everyone's about 35 or so, the game starts to get a lot easier for most to take down +3 and higher enemies. I think that the experience rewards ought to reflect that a bit more than they do. I don't mean to reduce overall experience, but to tighten the range. Currently, from -4 to +4 it varies from 20% to 190%.

Just because I'm against exploiting the MA/AE by farmers/PL'rs does not mean that I have a problem with the prices of IOs.
Go check. I haven't complained about the prices of IO's once. In fact, I have posted that I'm making even more inf because of what farmers/PL'rs are doing to the economy.
I'm not abusing the system to do it either.
Breaking the rules is just that.
It has nothing to do with the price of IO's.
I'll be dancing a jig when the farmers are gone from the AE. It would be good to be able to easily find mission teams in the AE that aren't running farms - better yet - aren't broadcasting in lower-level zones for AE Exploit teams.

So take your misguided moral crusade and go after the cheaters and the exploiters - the majority of the MA farmers are neither - and let those of us who find most of the content in the "normal game" boring level as we see fit. Me? I don't give a crap about the first 49 levels, I just want 50 so I can purple out and PvP - am I a cheater or exploiter?|

You, however, seem to have this misguided optimism that they'll eventually stamp out MA farming. The only way they'll be able to do that is to make the rewards from MA missions so low that most anyone would rather go do normal content - and that kind of goes against their stated goals and designs for the MA, doesn't it?

I have always made a distinction between bridging and side kicking,
Sidekick/Lackey: A person of low level whose mentor places him within the level range of the team, thus adding to the teams overall effectiveness
Bridge: Someone whose mentor is chosen to maximize xp example a 46 side kicking someone to 45 on a level 50 which creates a situation where the overall strength of the team is lower.
This leads me the difference between active power leveling, where a person will participate to the best of their ability, compared to door sitting.
Either way I dont really see the point in forcing someone to do one or the other because no one is forcing me to team with them or participate.

I think they should fix the MA abuse before "fixing" bridging. I see nothing wrong with bridging personally. At least it forces the Noobs to *gasp* leave Atlas Park and actually go to another zone.
My suggestion for fixing the MA? Do not award XP, Influence or Prestige. Have it only reward tickets. Remove the AE building from Atlas Park and Galaxy City (idk I haven't been to Galaxy in a long time, is there an AE building there? LOL).
That just my opinion. I could be wrong.

The devs ruined your idea, they stated they wanted AE to be an alternate way to level one's character instead of normal content, thus there will always be one in AE etc. AE abuse won't go away, ever, people will still use it even if they make it the same as PvE with the bridging, they can farm in a zone with a BM and not have to zone. It won't go away, so, i say we make some kind of AE farming channel and try to best contain what people don't want in their. The best thing the devs could do at this point is try to seperate farm mishs from normal mishs, seeing as how they won't get rid of them on the agena theyre on now.

In light of Posi announcement today, of the Super Sidekicking system details.
The 'method' for eliminating bridging is basically setting folks to the level of the mission automatically (well one below for lowbies), but eliminating the need for direct mentors. Its very close to the AE system.
Increased XP earnings (again) for the level 1 to 20 run, and the new difficulty sliders. All over it seems like a good overall package to me.
<edit>
add the ability to earm when exemped, and I think regular teaming just got a whole lot easier as you happily pull folks from both above and below your range

Overall it sounds good to me. Most annoying thing to me about the SK system was finding mentors for TFs if you had a few lower levels who wanted to join.
What is even better is this;

Indeed they have stopped bridging, but gave us a nice subsitute which I think will be well done. So if a person wanted to pl it looks like he still can (note I am just assuming). But big bonuses for TF helping with auto sk!
I'm curious to see how this new system will work, but certainly cautiously optimistic. On paper, it sounds good. Now I'll just have to see how it works in practice.
It'll be really nice for MS Raids not having to worry about finding teams of 35+ who can get into the zone.

Exactly - you'll only need a team leader or mission holder at lvl 36+, and everyone else falls into suit.
