Depending on the AT and Powersets, END issues can be radically different. As an example, my MA/SR toons were slotted with nothing (both offense and defense) but END Reduction DOs from 12 to 22 and that toon was a wind sucking pig until SOs and fully slotted stamina. My MA/Regen was an entirely different story.

If it were only a small minority of players who took advantage of Mito farming, do you honestly believe the developers would have taken such swift and stern measures regarding "AE PL'ing" up to and including banning accounts?

Of course no one knows an exact number, but I will guarantee it was a lot more than what you think.

I'd bet it was way more than 20% of the playerbase.

You don't know that. The devs would have to sell that inf for so low an amount in order to keep RMT'ers from competing it wouldn't be worth their while to do so anyway.

Actually, the way I read the example it was dealing with de-valuing "rare" in-game items and having to rework drop rates/inf sinks to compensate for the influx of cheap inf. Those are guaranteed to happen if the devs make cheap inf readily available to the playerbase. Too easy a game = players get bored faster and quit game.

The 100% guarantee for getting rid of RMT you are looking for is;

1. Don't use their service
2. Play a game where there is no in-game economy or anything of value

Choosing between using the current tools available to ignore RMT'ers and not using their service and having NCSoft kill their own game, the choice is kinda a no brainer.

This. Personally, I haven't received a single /tell or email since the update to include turning off email. Ignoring them and not using their service is going to do a whole lot more to hurt their business than anything the devs will come up with.

I agree the idea of NCSoft selling inf for CoX is a terrible idea.

I do all the time. My pet Monkey likes ArachnoSnaks, Mako Munchos and Recluse-O's cereal. You can't buy those anywhere in Paragon City.

Let's not neglect gathering Bio Nukes as well. Perhaps we can do this after the EoE run tonight.

Monkey only does that because he loves you!

After 6 years of playing this game, I have yet to have a problem finding a team to join or starting a team.

If you cannot find/form teams, the problem is you, not the game.

The servers do not need to be merged.

He did post an apology in the other servers. It was a cut/paste of the one posted here. His spams in the other server forums got removed yesterday, but I can verify the apologies were there.

Meh, I like to be anti-social and give people a hard time. Especially Turbo. And Foley. Sun too.

This is more to the point however;

I recall seeing quite a bit of this silliness on the Triumph chat channels as well. It's this kind of crap from people who are not satisfied and complain (yet refuse to do anything for themselves to change that - as in rolling toons elsewhere or server transfers) that I ignore the channels or put them on a different tab the majority of the time. Some people just deserve what they get. Like Rhynwa says, it's nice he said "sorry", he already knew he doesn't speak for everyone and has no business trying to do so. Nor should he be going to other servers and insulting them.

I lol'ed at that one. Or, it just might be that the person in question deserves it.

Bah! Beat me to it!

1. Triumph is fine as it is. Thanks tho.
2. Fix'd for ya and ignorance of the rules is not an excuse to break them.

I think that's quite an overstatement.

::giggles:: you thought that was Monkey, eh? Eeexxxcellent...

100% pure win.

He is too busy farting with the base to take me out for dinner, let alone do some TFs or stuff with us

This makes Monkey sad.

That and it would keep in line with the ED philosophy.
