yeah I never quite got the connection - it's not the AE's fault, it's the person who obviusly bought an account and then proceeded to NOT learn to play the game.
What is the POINT of buying something that's obviously got plenty of goodies on it, if you don't LEARN TO USE THEM?!
For the record: I'm not a Perfect_pain cronie, but I do enjoy her posts and will say that of the people who admit to farming, I'd trust her to do it right, and do it in a way that doesn't completely compromise the game's fun.
lol nazis.

Pain asked the person, if they have only been playing AE missions.
He said he has never done player created content yet.
Which everyone on the team just was boggled about. It really was a strange, strange series of comments by that person.
I was just looking in my chat log.
I thought I had asked something like that.

The most you can really say is that she was one of the many folks who thought that the farmers ought to get out of Atlas Park (primarily because they were only recruiting high-levels who are typically not the intended audience of Atlas Park), but otherwise she hasn't condemned farming as evil that I can recall, let alone "trolled" the farmers.

I suppose that could be why I was really getting so irritated with the line of questions that person was asking. It just seemed so Unreal.
That was kinda my point. AE is not a problem, it's a symptom of a problem: that people, as a whole, are idiots. The lions share of our 6.5 billion number are people who are not only ignorant, but unwilling to learn. You need to feed them their lunch, they will not make it. You have to show them other ways to play CoH, they will not look for them.

Necrotron is correct. AE isn't the problem. Farming isn't the problem.
Players are the problem. Which is why I-16 will be a GLORIOUS HEAVEN OF SOLO FARMING! WOOOOOOOOT!
Down with the global channels! Down with the friends list!
When I need an ITF, I'll go to Cimerora and START one!

/that happy enough for ya, P_P?
Be well, people of CoH.

It's not really just that, though, it's that the character's badges could be seen - with 15 months of play and whatever else, I too would be a lot boggled at the thought that this person NOW playing had no idea about produced content versus player content. It pretty clearly screams bought-account, and not just that, to me it says "bought the account for the wrong reasons".

Perhaps it is a cornerstone for every tank that you roll up. That does not mean that everyone who makes a tank absolutely has to take Taunt. As long as they can find a way to maintain aggro, that should be good enough. And with Willpower, the Neener Field called Rise to the Challenge should be a perfectly suitable replacement for Taunt. So can it with the "One True Build" mentality please.|

I'm thinking, what the heck does cash got to do with it? and told him that EVERY build should have a taunt, it being the cornerstone of a tank. |
Now that being said, I think I do have Taunt worked into the builds for all my tanks (though not always right when it comes available.) I like taking it because of the Perfect Zinger Psi Damage proc.

Actually... the taunt on RttC is quite sucktacular. It's a 1.25 second mag 3 taunt that cycles every second.|

Compared to say, Invincibility which is a 16.875 second mag 4 taunt that cycles every second.
A willpower tanker without taunt will not be holding aggro very well.

@Troll
I have been playing this game since around Issue 3/4. For the first 6 months of playing the game... I never farmed. Some stuff happened. Met my guy... He loves to PL/Farm... So I started.
When Mission Architect came out Positron made a POST. In it, it said... "the MA is not for FARMING" So, unlike most of everyone here... (read: exaggerating) I DO NOT FARM THE MA.
I farm Behemoths. It's not against the rules to do so. Positron NEVER made a Post saying, "Do not farm behemoths"...
You always bring up that other game. Why? Are you a Viral Marketing person? Just give it up.
