if a tf doesn't get you a reward roll is it worth it?

Hard to pick between Hess and Eden, but they are certainly the top 2

The time traveling Nazis and their giant war robots also add to it

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Yes.
A TF/SF is always worth doing if you will have fun. This is a game, fun is its own reward. (Yes, I do know how cheesey that sounds; it is true nonetheless).
Clearly, you are all wrong.
Games are not about fun, they are about getting progressively larger numbers! It's why farming will never go out of style!
Quite honestly, I don't get that mindset. There's not a lot you can do with merits but get recipes and salvage to get IOs that'll make getting merits easier which in turn makes getting IOs easier, repeat ad nauseum. I guess I can see the appeal of building a toon that's a one-man-army that can take down Lord Recluse's four lieutenants all on their own at the end of the STF, but making such a build requires so much grinding and monotonous farming that, in the end, it seems more like work than fun.
People can farm all they like, all I'm saying is I don't understand these guys. If max rewards is all you're after, aren't you really just removing 99% of the game from your game?
I guess what I'm saying is that the Katie Hannon Task Force has a lot of merit, and I'm not speaking about the reward at the end of it.
I run TFs for the xp/badge/fun. Merits are of little concern to me since I don't use them.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love big numbers. this week I'm devoting myself almost solely to marketeering for oodles of cash (plus I find it fun). Some of us do actually find the satisfaction oif farming or market pvp rewarding and fun in its own right.|

Doesnt mean I dont see the value in doing stuff "just for fun" with little reward like Katie, though.

The amusing part is that the +rep was worth way more than the -rep. As someone mentioned in another thread, it seems that rep is weighted. Supposedly a person with higher rep 'carries more weight'.

huh. Now there can really be a forum cartel! high rep people giving high rep to high rep people!
... to the OP: Do you even read that stuff over before you hit "post"? Seriously?

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Maybe he's afraid of us. As Shakespeare wrote: Methinks he doth protest too much.
(Imagine that. Firefox does not flag methinks as a spelling error.)
