Farming and Powerleveling are not exploits mate.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

This.

Exploits involve basically breaking the game, or utilizing a flaw in the game to get UNREASONABLE rewards.

Farming and PLing don't break the game, and generally don't get UNREASONABLE rewards.

That's possibly why you have a disconnect with the relationship players have with exploits. Exploits are bad, for the other players and for the company. Farming and PLing are fairly neutral, and for some (though not even for all farmers/PLers) are actually good.

My point was that I see no logic in any effort to curb, slow down, or stop farming or any other kind of exploit one cares to mention. The devs certainly don't have to explain themselvesto any of us, but by the same token I've yet to hear any convincing argument from any of the experts here on the forums. There must be something quite vital I am missing because the attitude towards exploits seems in contradiction to the realities of the COH business model.

What you choose to believe or disbelieve isn't relevant, and it won't change the facts.

1. The devs don't hate farming and power leveling.
2. The devs do actively stomp exploits and their abusers.

You can put your tinfoil hat on and spout any nonsense you like to the contrary. We aren't obligated to keep a straight face,

And there isn't an MMO out there that encourages exploit abuse regardless of whether their business model is Sub based, Hybrid, or purely F2P. Any claims otherwise is a pure fabrication on the posters part.
