HI, This is IMHO only....and not worth much.
I will be the last toon out on this view, but if someone wants to build a farm, for whatever purposes, why does it bother those that do not use them? As large as Coh and Cov are now I would think that there is at least something for everyone. If AE farming is not your bag....then don't do them. If you do each and every one of your contact missions and level all the way up the long way, then so be it. I have done it and lived through it. 
Coh and Cov are a 'form' of life to my toons and I choose to take them to whatever areas and missions I want. It's my call. I pay for the time to do it. If I solo or team up it is my call. Just like it is your call to do with your toons as you see fit. 
I don't dictact to you where and how you level or equip. your toons. By the same token, I don't think it should be a problem with you how I do mine. What I have found interesting is that because of a few the devs have to nerf things that were given to us. I bet that soon after the I-17 and GR come out that there will be things that will get cut. It seems to never fail. 
I love this game and truly like most of the folks that I have met. It provides many hours of pleasure for me. I just wish we could play nice and not worry about what others might enjoy or not enjoy. 
Now, back to your listening enjoyment.......
farming is good. PLing is bad. unfortunately, they go hand-in-hand here. i only farm solo anymore, whether its AE tix or Purples from content.
I like rewards more than the story so would I want to use a new search term to find the right AE mission(s) for me, such as "no allies"? I came back for a month and it looks like ticket bonuses took a huge hit. I rarely get anything above 300. I'm looking for more around 600. XP is not an issue since I'm using my 50s and I already found with the difficulty choices, I get more than adequate XP than compared to the past(I mainly solo). Right now I'm at +0/5 no bosses/no AVs and I really did not notice a significant jump in tickets when changing the equivalent hero option.

It is the speed that you get them at for example I have a wolf hunt I am set for +8 bosses and I rottae between +1 and 0's because it is usally just me or me getting a linked toon to a lvl range I care to play (realize I have a build that can handle harder but that slows me down). Speed is the name of the game for instance I have a wolf hunt it is nothing but wolfs on the map. I can do the map with no outside buffs hit my ticket cap and leave with less then half the map left not cleared. Now I added an ally a Kin he gives me speed boost oh and he has Fulcrum Shift now I got two or three of them running around guess what I hit damage cap more often and my attacks recycle faster. Those I made mad influence and tickets drops.|

So back to farming PI only; I rotated between the two for fun and chance for purple drops and I do not farm only that gets boring as well. Yet I am not going to pretend that I do not farm in some manner because I would be lying.

So it's not about not liking farming, it's about YOUR play choices affecting not only people's ability to find OUR story arcs, but the devs nerfing the whole thing to death so that no one wants to play them! Which means less ratings, which means less tickets, which means, because of YOUR actions, we cannot get -our- rewards for using the system the way it was intended. Thanks. Really.
Now I farm, believe me. I've hit the wall in cim, I've done hami raids twice in a row, done full days of TFs JUST for the merits, stood in front of a Carnival Master Illusionist for hours on end and hitting an AoE once in a while to get badge credit... even ran a few lowbies with higher-level folks to get some extra XP. I don't have anything against farming in general. However, I don't condone the use of the MA being used as a farming tool, if only based on the way the mission listing is set up. Now, i DID do some farming there: badge farming. But then I did everyone a favor and DELETED my farm mission! But everyone else's lack of consideration and foresight has led to a broken shell of what could have been a great story-telling tool. So, yeah. How about you farmers go back to doing ANYTHING ELSE, and just leave the MA be? And then, when you have 50s of every type all IO'd out and you're bored out of your mind because there's no more challenge or variety (a self-imposed problem there; how about running some STORY arcs for a change?), take down your farm arcs before canceling your sub. Or leave them there out of laziness and/or spite. But that says more about you than I, right? |
its okay you too can learn to use the search function.
I came across a mission where all the enemies confused me and that seemed to be the only thing they did. When I sent a tell to the creator, they said it gave good xp but I havent figured out how to kill the enemies as there are about 10 confuses on me.
/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.
