I'm sorry I farmed and PL'd

Everyone always said it would hurt the game but I didnt believe that. In the end I guess it killed it.

But for real, I wish I played it more, I had so much time to, and I always meant to, but I still needed to get new toons to 50 to try them out when IOs were most effective.

There were so many stories to play, so many other players to meet but I spent most of it in AE farming away.

I always meant to play a toon from 1 to 50 again, I did it only once, like 5 years ago.

All good things...

Its okay, so long as you had fun.

I've joined in on werewolf dumpster farms. I've played AE farm missions. I once invited over 30 players into my CoT mission back when you could farm the demon portal room indefinitely.

It was all fun. I don't regret it one bit.

All my farming has been for badges.

The Lichen farm... that one is probably not as well known. Back in Issue 9, we would gather Longbow heavies from Recluse's Victory (this was before the HVAS existed) and run the Eden trial. After completing it, everybody would stay in the mission, and backtrack to the Lichen Colony spawners. They put out an INSANE amount of minion-level lichen which gave influence, XP, and drops. We'd get someone with Group Fly to fly the heavies above the Lichen, and then go to sleep. We made a billion influence overnight. That's how many badgers got the badge for 2 billion influence, before it got nerfed.

Tyrant's lava farms. Oh, I spent like 6 months soaking pets from various people in lava while healing them for the Empath badge, which was then also nerfed into something a lot more obtainable. I got 10 supergroups all their healing badges (for the base items) before unlocking the badge for myself.
