The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

"Can play" is not a binary. It's a float.
There are some pretty low values of "can play" out there.

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* I have this strange feeling that y'all dun got trolled.

The Devs have stated several times that in order to keep the game interesting for everyone and to keep things working in the intended manner that they have to keep a certain Risk\Reward ratio, or time\reward ratio, and that farming is an aberrant play style that skews those ratios in a way that is not intended for the game|

In other words farming is an exploit and the Devs have taken steps to minimize it's presence in the game because, like it or not, it does affect the community when certain people play an aberrant play style and can get greater rewards for it and start flooding the market with extra cash drops etc.
Just because you pay a subscription doesn't mean you can do what you want. Your subscription gets you permission to play the game the Devs male by the rules chosen by Paragon Studios and NCSoft in what they think is the best for their product... Paying a subscription doesn't mean you can grief, hack, cheat, exploit or just run amok, their are rules, you agree to them every time you sign in, and in this game they don't like farming.
If you wanna farm their are games that encourage it, like Farmville.

"In other words", hm? So you mean YOU think it's an exploit. Let's not forget the new notoriety system that lets you solo as a team of 8 - the biggest gift ever to farmers. In no way did this hinder farming. What it did was to change the nature of farming so the farmers didn't need to bug other players to pad their missions. It made it less impacting on OTHER players.|

Farming, repetition of content for reward, is a part of the game.
