Right so AE isn't the best source for inf per hour. Thanks for being honest.

AE isn't a one stop shop for every reward and you can farm merits by doing speed runs faster than earning the emp merits from vet rewards. You still aren't getting it. I see so you asking for testing criteria to make sure the results are legit is perfectly fine. It's only wrong/bad if someone else asks the same thing. Give me a break.

Doesn't have to sell immediately if we're going by inf per hour. But whatever. You're just as biased as everyone else so you keep doing you.

Right so anyone can do what they want and come up with whatever data they want.

Like I said in the other thread, you're welcome. Post something worthwhile and I'll give it a thumbs up. All you've been posting is pointless crap, so I call it like I see it. Yeah it tells everyone you're biased. You've seen one person post something and claiming it's gospel and absolute proof. There's people who think Bigfoot is real too. You can't compare oranges to apples that's why they're asking for testing criteria. Seriously, what's the harm in answering the question? What's the testing criteria? "Use your own" doesn't work. It's a perfect way to skew the results like @ForeverLaxx mentioned earlier. People will just tailor the situation to come up with the results they want. I can play the market and earn more in an hour than your fire farmer will in running meteor maps, so that means AE isn't the best source of inf. The people who don't want to share collection criteria are bullshitters and don't want their results questioned because they're afraid of people proving them wrong. But whatever, you do you and keep right on bullshitting. The only person I see whining here is you. Just being honest.

lol I'm not the one crying about down votes on an internet forum.

You're welcome. Try posting stuff worthwhile and I'll pass along some thumbs up. I only downvote stuff I find stupid.

Well the goal seems to be to push everyone into more grinding for stuff so an increased market for RMT should be expected. Nothing they can do to stop it either.

Do you need more evidence or is what a GM posting about it happening sufficient for you?

Google is your friend.

Wasn't "there is no private server" over on the Titan forums a conspiracy theory for a few years?

The fact they think people expressing legit concerns over their changes funny speaks volumes. I guess the "developers" just don't give a shit.

Why does this need to be implemented? Where's the masses of new players complaining they can't find a name?

Where's the dev diary that was mentioned telling us why this was necessary?

I wish the "developers" here had the balls to do this. I'd laugh my ass off watching the four or five people left crying that they can't fill a team and wondering where everyone went. That'd be epic.

I'd love to hear this answer too.

This is a terrible idea. Please don't implement this.

100% agreed! Wish people would stop nerfherding and look toward the future.

But you are trying to make it something by coming to the forums and making posts about it. It's perfectly ok to come and vent about something that frustrates you. I'm sorry if what I wrote earlier wasn't clear. I didn't mean to say that there are no new PLed players at all. I was saying that I don't see it as a big deal and not something to stress over. You're even admitting it's rare. Just a difference of opinion is all. There will be bad players whether there's AE farming or not.

It's not an indication of anything. There's people with hundreds badges who still don't understand what they're doing. I have at least half a dozen alts in various states of being PLed that don't have any defeat badges. I have other characters that have over a thousand badges. If I'm running one of my alts on a TF with you, does that make me a PL'ed noob? you're really trying to make this into a huge problem that just doesn't really exist. it's nowhere near as rampant as you're claiming it is and the criteria you're using isn't exactly solid. It seems to be biased on your prejudices.

No I really haven't. I've yet to come across anyone who says they're completely new to the game. I've teamed with a lot of old players who recently came back, but that's isn't a new player to me. I just don't see this as the huge problem you're trying to make it out to be. That isn't what people are saying though. You had posted that people with low badge counts who don't know where Steel Canyon is automatically means they are some PL'ed new player. Others gave lots of examples that refute that.

What's an established account? Yup exactly. I've never run into any of these PL'ed brand new players either.

Devs have already said they won't be making anything with high price tags so forget about the billion inf price tag. It's a dead issue. This is why an unlockable level 50 token I suggested works. People will have to unlock that token by actually playing the game to not only get to 50 but also earn several badges and stuff for TFs/SFs. That rewards everyone, not just farmers.

There's plenty of players who leveled 1 to 50 who don't know how to play either. are they rude too?

They said they would not add anything that costs large sums of inf so as not to give people the opportunity to run to the nearest RMT goldseller. never said they would not add a level 50 token at all.
