Just because you pay for VIP does not mean that everybody else does not have a right to play the game how they want.
I reckon the OP needs some farming equipment

If people are farming, that's what they're looking to do. People who are farming (or even PLing for that matter) aren't being forced into some sort of weird slave labor.
People who are looking to run teams aren't looking to farm, nor vice-versa. They're not overlapping groups, and have nothing to do with one another.
People looking to farm are getting loot. People looking to play the game are looking for experience - either xp, or the experience of playing the game. The fact that some people want to farm doesn't affect the getting of a team, because those people weren't going to be playing missions anyway.

Of course, that's 70+ times as many instances of AP as there are people on the planet, and let's say that each instance caters for 50 characters, so that means that there are 3,500 accounts per head of population of the whole planet, just on that one server, which makes CoH wildly more popular than any other pastime in the entire history of the universe.

So that would mean....
WE ARE NUMBER ONE ! YAY!
I say we through a huge party and invite everyone.. to make it easier we should hold it in an alternate universe where we'd all be only 1 centimeter high. It will make it easier to find a place big enough for the party and the dance floor won't be nearly as crowded.
It does make you wonder though.. if there were that many Atlas parks imagine the number of RWZs with incarnate trials running non stop. WOW

You pay for access to the game.
You are NOT paying for the right to have someone PL you on demand.
In short, PLAY THE DAMN GAME!

I am another one who doesn't understand the complaint. I have swung through Atlas@Freedom since Freedom (the release) came out, and while there was less farming for inf being spammed, it was still there. Since I also notice that one can wander into Pocket D and find no one waiting for Incarnate trials, I assume that yeah, people are doing other stuff (I am levelling up some new characters with the new sets myself).
I am not aware of any initiative by the publisher to crack down on farming for inf - someone tried to make that claim in a chat yesterday but the concensus was that this was not so.
If, in fact, your issue is not that you are not allowed to run farms, but that people seem to have other things to do and are not interested in running farms for you, then I must point out a flaw in your argument about choosing how to play in return for your fee.
I support your right to play the game in any way allowed by the EULA, and in any way that does not interfere with others pleasure in doing the same. But you seem to be complaining that other players are not spending their time the way you want them to, and that this must be due to some regulation imposed from without. Whereas it seems more likely that the bloom for running farms, especially farms that tolerate inactive team members, may have faded. If the farmers got bored with their activity (and I have to say I am surprised it took them this long to lose interest) then that is how they now choose to play the game. If that isn't what you want them to do...I fail to see how this would be up to you, frankly.
My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.
Rather than farming normal missions, we farmers have been hitting up the secret CoT level. You have to find the guy with the peg leg on the island that ... Oh well, that would be telling.
But once you find First Mate Wirt, before you know it youll be farming up the CoT King and his ghostly CoT minions fof sweet rares.
Boo. BOO!

I exclusively farm every single one of my toons as they are ALL for pvp to some extent. I pay for two accounts so i can do it MYSELF. Just get a second account. O waaait, you don't want to do any of the work. >.>
BTW Marty is for severe cases of broken exploits. I can still ding 50 in a few hours doing standard farms maps.
