A realistic solution to MA Farms

I think this seems a bit obvious, either;
1.Make access to the MA a veteran reward nothig too big only 3 or 6 months just to get some trainin down for all the little noobs
2.Make the MA a level access zone 15 or 20 maybe
So thats just a couple of ideas let the feed back roll on!

How about putting a sensible cap on xp per hour game wide?
Seems pretty straightforward to me.

You know it may be more userful if someone explains why they are saying no, rather than just a straight no.

I think that it is part of the game. Making people wait just because a few spoil it would be unacceptable. Veteran rewards are supposed to be shinies that you get for playing from a long time. They are not supposed to be a huge chunk of the game.

That gets an even bigger no.

I would say no the first suggestion. It doesn't go far enough really.

The second suggestion has some merit. Allowing access only from level 20 up has an obvious benefit but I would advocate an approach that significantly reduces the XP, inf and ticket rewards instead.

I would suggest that this is exactly what the devs are looking at right now.

MA could still be fun, from a creative perspective - without it delivering XP by the truckload.

Depends. Just have played an arc that was more difficult than most TFs (16 AVs, incl both LR and Statesman, some of them attacking simultaneously and you only have allies for the last 3.) Yes, it gave the team loads of XP, why shouldn't it?

farming as such isn't the problem. The problem is everyone and his dog can now PL, thanks to auto-SK. Disable auto-SK, and farming/PL would be not eradicated, but curbed back to roughly pre I-14 levels, and we won't get any Stalkers with Strealth pool.

Rather than disabling auto-SK, change it. Have it SK people to the same level as the highest-level member on the team. As it stands now, it's perfect for PLing.

Not a complete fix for everything going on, but it would help.

^This. Can always rely on Yahtzee to provide the perfect answer
Anyways no. No veteran access or level limit. If the MA is restricted for people under a certain level they'll whine about too many zones that can only be accessed by a high level.

I'm not sure why you think this would resolve the farming problem, nor why Paragon Studios would want to limit its access to a significant chunk of the player base.

Given that half the people in Cap Au Diable crying out for Farm teams have got at least 9 month Vet rewards (33 months is the biggest amount I have seen on a Farm requester so far), I doubt it would make a difference.

The two villains who were Superspeed chasing each other round in circles for nearly half an hour earlier today inside the Cap Au D AE building had no Vet Rewards mind, but I'm glad that some people are able to find the game fun, even if they're not levelling

You know that constructive debate on an idea involves slightly more than going "Hell yeah, that's a great idea! We should implement it straight away without considering any other possible options", right?

Just because people disagree with an idea you have doesn't mean that you're not welcome.

This is (even now) one of the gentler forums on the internet for debate. Stick around, keep putting ideas through, accept the flames, trolls and what not (even if you still feel compelled to argue against them) - it's still theraputic and easy compared to a day's worth of office work...

The MA is quite controversial right now, so it' bound to make for some strong opinions - don't let these put you off the forum

Welcome. I guess jumping straight in with "let's do this" isn't going to give you a soft landing.
