Its starting all over again. Spamming Atlas with samurai farms. Please Devs can you cut XP or Tickets in half again. Seems that farmers can't learn from the past. They are spamming request and broadcast, as if they are too stupid to know that there AE channels.

I vote we have to PAY inf to use AE after all it is in game a company that provides a service. If I go to the local arcade I have to pay to play video games why not AE?

1. If you think someone is spamming you can use the ignore spammer feature.

2. If you think an AE mission is breaking the rules you can report that mission.

3. If you are too lazy to do either of the above you can start your characters off in Galaxy City.

People that enjoy playing AE missions are paying for their subs just like you and as long as they don't break the rules they can play any way they like.

And for the record the devs never punish anyone for farming. They punish people for abusing exploits.

Yes, because the last nerfs just weren't brutal enough.

How about we just take away all rewards from AE entirely? Yeah, that'll teach those lousy stinkin' farmers not to have fun!

Alright, I'm ready for the inevitable flame-war.

I don't think there's anything wrong per se with that Samurai mission, it's just a group of SS/Rgn customs that obey all the standard rules of risk vs reward *shrug*

Try stepping out of Atlas maybe?

the devs do not have a problem with farmers. it is the exploiters that they have a problem with. just incase you don't know the difference:

Farmer: someone who does obey the risk vs reward when they repeat content.

Exploiter: someone who doesn't obey the risk versus reward when they repeat content.

as for paying to use the AE, we already do. it is our sub fees. and if you want to argue that then, i think you should have to pay extra per month everytime someone says the word "the".

You came here and started a thread about the people running AE missions, which means you're hearing it.

Who's stupid?

The obvious answer from one player to another player is, "No." We didn't nerf it the 1st time and we can't nerf it now.

Perhaps the problem isn't with people LF AE teams.

"Normal" farmers min/max the RvR... sometimes it gets to be too much and it is nerfed. When that happens, though, they tend to look at trends first.

The other AE nerfs were due to EXPLOITS, though, which when farmed go way out of bounds for the RvR forumula.

i have no knowledge of what you're talking about, but based on what others in this thread have posted i fully support whatever it is you're complaining about. As long as the missions don't exploit flaws or otherwise break or evade the rules i'm fine with them. i enjoy joining AE teams on occasion both for the interesting stories and the tickets. While i prefer getting both at once, i have no problem with the occasional arc or mission that just has one. i usually just blow all my tickets on rare salvage* and uncommon recipes.



*While i enjoy crafting and selling IOs on the market i'd rather get the exact salvage i need without doing the bidding and waiting. It's just more fun for me to use AE. i get amusement and exactly the salvage i wanted at the end. Perfect.

No, WE cannot nerf AE again. The Devs might. They might not.

I rather suspect most of them are busy working on Going Rogue anyway.

lol @ the people who thought the I16 changes were going to stop people from farming MA missions.

Calling for nerfs on the forums is discouraged. Nothing really good comes out of these posts, and they are frowned upon by the mods.

From the Forum Rules and Guidelines:

# "NERF X!" threads are removed for much the same reason as "I'm leaving" threads. They can turn into threads with little or no constructive information.

Samurai Farms? This sounds interesting, but I haven't seen anyone send one broadcast about this, despite being in Atlas a lot.

So whats the mission ID?

Meh, it's like fighting angry, feudal SkittlesĀ®

I mean, come on, they don't even have bows or katanas (or horses!). Where's the fun in beating on Samurai if they're just going to throw sucker punches all day?

Well, i for one refuse to nerf AE. i hope all the other players reading this thread also refuse to use their nonexistent authority as well.

If you're over level 8... LEAVE ATLAS PARK AND NEVER GO BACK UNLESS DIRECTED BY A CONTACT OR MISSION.
