You'd think people would come to this realization any day now...

I have yet to see that day.

The point here is, people pay $15.00 per month to play this game, and believe it or not there are some people that do not care to go through the regular root, and learn the game the way it was setup to do. They will find someone or pay someone to pl them to 50 because they want to be a level 50 just like some of their friends that showed them the game or for whatever reason they have...

AE is one way to pl a toon, there are other ways as well, noobs getting pl'd is not an AE exclusive thing. If you invite someone you do not know then sorry to say, you get what you get. As a practice, when inviting a random to my team I check the toons info and see what I am getting, first thing I look for is vet status, if the toon is 50 and no vet badges then I keep and eye on them... if the tank I a mgetting has the healing pool I will ask them "what is up with that?" and so fourth. I have had 39 month vets who, like your AE Babies have no clue as well. It's something you have to deal with when inviting randoms to your team.

Like people have said, you can kick, ignore, and even give them a 1 star global rating to remind yourself this person is not someone you want to team up with using any toon.

When you invite a random it's a crap shoot, you hope the person has a clue and they can help the team be successful in what they are trying to, and better yet, be someone you might want to invite to your global friends list... then there is the other side, when you get the people that have no clue and try their hardest to prove to this to you... and end up doing just that...

I don’t know anyone that uses tickets for silver or gold, just rare salvage and bronze rolls.

I haven’t done a comparison between standard mission recipe drops vs. AE bronze ticket rolls. Farming tickets for bronze rolls seems to yield about the same amount of standard recipes as running Unai’s council map. However, that is just my personal impression.

The AE is a wonderful alternative leveling option. I do wish the search engine was better. However, the creativity of many of these missions combined with easy access to inspirations, lack of travel, hospital on site, and the gambling high of rolling tickets have renewed my interest in many of my under 30 characters and even inspired me to roll quite a few new ones.

Fix'd that for you! I am in no way implying I was or was not one of them! <_< >_>

these kinds of players existed long before MA was even a glimmmer in Positron's eye.

Your "solution" would do nothing but render MA persona non grata for the vast majority of the playerbase.


Good day, sir.

I extra fix'd that for j00. Carry on.

Less than one hour.

the problem with that is... the devs marketed that you can go from 1-50 in the AE. not have to do regular content to continue leveling in AE. people just need to stop the whining about AE.

Most players aren't on the forums. Maybe run through the streets of Atlas caps-locking in broadcast for better results?

NO.

People will PL regardless of where.

People who PL to the exclusion of all else will suck at the game.

Screwing over legitimate users simply because some ********* can't be bothered to explore the world is a stupid, childish response.

Douchebags who can't be bothered to explore the world ARE NOT THE DEVS' PROBLEM!

Get over it. Next time pick a better team!

No. AE did NOTHING.

What you SAW was what a lazy, stupid player can do to a team.

Nothing more.

Next time pick a better team.

So you're not alone. BFD. People who think they can get away with not paying taxes aren't alone. Doesn't mean they're any less wrong.

People who believe that the moon landing was filmed on a soundstage aren't alone. But they're wrong.

There are people out there who think the Holocaust never happened. STILL WRONG!

There are people out there who think all non-muslims need to be killed and/or converted "by sword" (and not necessarily in that order). You gonna tell me they're right?

What you're attempting to foist off on us is simply an argumentum ad populum.

This way it doesn't (fully) nerf exp, it does slow ae levelers down and so on...

AE was advertised as a fully viable, alternative system in which players can level up their characters.

I am willing to bet any "solution" that will be suggested in this thread has been discussed so many times in so many different threads by so many different people that eventually, the "counter-solution" to all of them will be the following:

AE was advertised as a fully viable, alternative system in which players can level up their characters from 1 to 50. Placing reward hard-limits, or drastically reducing the XP compared to normal content, or replacing experience points with some other reward, or simply removing experience points from AE would put developers of the game at a vulnerable position against people who paid for the City of Heroes: Architect Edition, and almost everyone else because they were promised something that is not being offered. Not only that, but as of now, only a small number of people use AE (compared to the targeted audience of the system). Reducing XP gain or placing hard-caps on it would be one of the last 3 nails in AE's coffin. The other 2 would be diminishing the ticket rewards, and adding level restrictions.

Every time you try to come up with a solution to AE, please read the above paragraph, twice, VERY LOUDLY. If you sound dumb and start making no sense, it's because your solution will not work. End of story.

Thank you!

I think you're in denial. You're team should have been good enough to not let one idiot ruin it. That or use the kick button.

12 hours is very achievable outside of AE or "exploits"

Good thing I brought my [Spandex-safe Fire Retardant Spray].

OP: How did you know this person was powerleveled in AE and not in the many other places popular for powerleveling -- PI itself being one? Did you check his badges?

Why are you posting here Psychoti? Don't you have some new rude tells to be digging out of some random idiot in-game?

GET BACK TO WORK! The Rude Tells thread needs some sprucing up!

I too would like to read some more rude tells... /em waiting

aaaaaahahahaha yes!

No.

I have an idea, why dont you quit the game. Its alot easier then changing the reward meters for the AE, and then as a community were going to be saved from what ever other idiocy you have planned to spam about in the future.
