Amazing hypocrisy going on:

People say FBWGG ruins their fun
Then they turn around and are tempted to ruin the fun for the players playing aforementioned game set-up

Wha? Logic has been erased o_x Just leave people alone to play their own way (assuming that you're actually playing instead of pulling stupid stunts like this).

Amusingly, the result will be complaints from those people that say FBWGG ruins their fun that all those farming it got sick of AFKers and started other gold runs, ruining the fun of those trying to only play with experienced gold players.

These days I am not very picky for gold, three warm bodies will do.  I would prefer level 20s with decent gear...but I also don't want to wait forever.

There is a difference between using an exploitive set up over and over to the exclusion of everything else....and being tempted to harass those who are doing that annoying behavior.


But you don't have to play with them? I still cannot comprehend the grievance against people who do that. It's confusing me to be honest. Maybe I'm too passive to understand :?

And guess what everybody!

When I catch you doing this I report you for every available report in the system!

Enjoy!


Personally seems reasonable, but I've got to ask ... where did you get the "Stevie Wonder Geth" Avatar?!? :o

I think you misunderstand OP.
The goal is not to AFK to harass, the goal is to AFK for the full 70K bounty. Ergo FBWGG has the most chances of success for the 3 remaining cash cows.

Wait? You don't want speculations?... Hmmm..... Guess you will have to wait for the "Extended Cut" reply.

Everyone goes to do this, team wipes out and dies as they all attempt to AFK... we all profit from the hilarity.

Sounds like a boring way to play. I understand not having time to play, but that's life. Sounds like you just want a handout. I rather work for what I get... even if it takes me longer to do it.

Implying FBWGG is not a boring way to play, and people who credit farm are not looking for a handout

I hope this is just an instance of a troll, trying to troll a troll. Because you're stupid if you believe this.

So you are implying for example, that since it is easy to get kills with a shotgun on Nuketown, that you are playing in a boring way?

Don't think so.

Small maps are awesome, all there is to it. B)

I'm not sure if anyone finds FBWGG fun or enjoyable.
My preferred difficulty is silver because I get to move freely around and actually play the game in an enjoyable way.

Oh look my team reached level 10 and I got 70000 credits again.

Not at all. I was pointing out the hypocrisy in his post, saying the OP was looking for a handout, while the people who credit farm are doing the exact same thing.

As for it being boring, I guess that's subjective. Personally, I find hiding behind a counter and waiting for the enemy to swarm you boring as hell. No one I've come across credit farms because it's "fun", they do it because it's fast and easy. If it wasn't fast, and easy for everyone to do, it wouldn't be a grind, after all.

Had 2 guys do it to me the other day, one comes back on wave 10 and was like "Sorry, had to eat dinner!"

I just said "How convenient..." and left on wave 10, I was host and they failed to reconnect. I spent an extra 15 minutes fighting for them both to get my benefits? No thanks.

I feel special inside.

What I'm saying is that sitting there stuck in one spot because you know you will get credits doesn't sound fun for me. Then again, I don't play for credits. I play to have fun and find other ways to get good. I don't see how playing in a prescripted fashion can make you good at anything other than following a recipe. I just don't choose to play that way. That's all I'm saying. Not trying to troll... Just stating my opinion.

While I don't really see any point in farming White, I see even less point in AFKing White or any other map. If you aren't playing to have fun, what is the point?

Is it a matter of being so awful at the game you figure the only shot you will ever have of playing it without constantly dying is to have all the best gear?


Its more complicated than that.
I have things to do.

This guide is for people who want to earn easy credits fast for weapons so they can have more fun the next day when they get to spend all the money they got.


I will say there is a striking similarity to the logic behind playing on that particular mission/enemy set and afking on that same setup.

Still won't do it... but damn it is a funny idea.


It's the exact same logic, but with a dash of laziness added in.

How is ruining someone else's game?
They get high scores and set out to achieve the thing they wanted and I get to come along for the ride.

Think about it like it hitching a ride to college with a friend going that route too only they spend 1 minute picking you up along the route.
They are still having a good time.

Geth Engineer by far. See, you can fire your turret and it does all the work while you continue to apply Rule 34 to whatever it is you're applying Rule 34 to. Awesome, eh?
