Never had a problem with farming. Had a problem with being unable to sort the farms from the stories.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Never had a problem with farming either. It's not what the devs intended the use of MA for, but the same can be said for anything.
NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.
I think what the OP is getting at is the MA reward nerfs in response to farming contributed to the death of the game.
There's some truth there I suppose. MA was touted as an alternate path to 50 and the future of the game. That reality never manifested in part due to the anti-farming changes.
Please buff Ice Control.

IIRC, people who ran the various fire farms said they weren't seeing the marty effect affecting any of them. So if that's what the OP was saying, I think he's wrong. |

MA always was fine for leveling in, even if you weren't farming though.
The MA Ambush nerfs only served to make my farmers even MORE influence. Prior to the nerfs I'd run Red's Crey Ambush Map for 20 million and it took about 5 minutes to clear. So in about 40 minutes I could make 160 million or so. After the nerfs, the go to farm map was Red's Fire Cave map w/patrols which sold for 250-300 million and I could clear in 40 minutes. It literally doubled my income.

Granted, it's not as amazing as it once was, but it beats doing Twinshot's arc (which, admittedly, is pretty good) with each. new. alt. That, and I don't like DFB.
Although, quite honestly, I think DFB did more to discourage farming in AE than any AE-related nerfs ever did.
The devs are not against farming (see: iTrials, DFB, Summer Blockbuster Event, etc.), just crazy-xp-exploit farming.
