Can someone please explain what people mean about Firebase White Geth Gold being exploited by farming? I have no idea what this means. I did a quick play and got partnered up with a team and that was one of the configurations that I made it through on Gold this weekend, but this is the first that I've heard that there was something off about doing this. What gives?

FBW is a problem, but more importantly it's a solution. It's a solution to gold giving WAY more credits than bronze. I would hapily play bronze matches all day if they gave the same credits as Gold. I would hapily farm FBW all day over trying to play a gold match normally. I'm not cut out for that, especially with some of my favorite classes. I enjoy the game on bronze, but I also enjoy getting the credits I need to unlock the many weapons, mods, and characters that I still need to collect.

I hope they fix FBW farming, but not before they fix their economic model to make it unnecessary. The solution is not to make it so that people can't exploit FBW, it's to make it so that they wouldn't want to.

I dont know these people. So what do i care?

If i could kick them from my game and punch them in the face at the same time, i would.

Posting pics or videos over and over is a sign of a severe lack of intelligence.

If you cant have a normal conversation, then im outta here.

coming from someone who considers this:

Normal conversation in a social setting.

Did i miss something?

Because last i checked, this had nothing to do with you.

Get back in your hole

OK. i get it.

This forum (especially this thread) seems to be filled with pathetic, prepubescent morons.

Enjoy your amusing little pictures, sigs and videos. But i truly feel very sorry for you all.

Are you kidding me? Is this a joke post?
In every multiplayer game that has a reward system or whatever,people will always try and find an easy way to do it,no surprises there.

As far as farming goes,same deal,if you're ever played an MMORPG,that's where the best example of this is.The fact is,people farm,and they will always farm,whoop-de-freaking-do,welcome to the world of MP

And besides,I'm not trying to defend farmers or take sides here,but you play whatever you want,nobody is ruining anything for doing that,if you see a geth/firebase white/gold in the lobby,then leave.

What the OP means is:

"I have no friends, so I want random strangers to play what I want the way I want to."

The source of the problem is the random unlock system and the fixed amount of credits you get for each completion.

^this.

[Krozuhsky]

Gee, I'm sorry I want to get some easy credits to get some good equipment. THEN play on regular Gold. Want me to play you the world smallest violin while we're at it? You can always, you know, grab three of your friends when they're on and play a Gold match or two.

[Bestyj669]

True cancer is, you "pros" playing random/random/gold so much!
I can't get into a farming lobby without specifying it in the search options ...
Also playing random/random seriously cripples my farming skills.
We should get rid of random/random.

There. Makes about as much sense as the OP.

The easiest way to stop FBW: Geth from happening is to create a spawn point all the way in the back of the map

bad kids who play FBW:Geth dont know how to use their credits right anyway, i bet you the majority of them spam spectre packs when they dont even have all their uncommon weapons built up yet...

Hey! Lets add 7 random double banshee spawns on every map on gold! That will stop them pesky farmers.

I farm. I like it. I love spamming spectre packs just to get yet another geth infiltrator. And, without a doubt, I'm not going to stop farming because someone doesn't like it.

Geth Farmers Unite !!!

Agreed.

Hosting is not a viable solution either. We don't have 15-20 minutes to wait for our lobby to fill up, just so people can quit when they see it's not FBWGG.

There needs to be some kind of penalty for running the same match so many times, or a credit incentive to do unknown/unknown.

There's nothing wrong with people wanting to play that setup really. Yes it's repetitive and boring and all that, but if you don't want to play it, just host your own game that isn't set to FBW/Geth/Gold.

You should worry less about what other people that you've never met and probably never will meet are doing with their spare time.

Firebase White Geth Gold. Easy way to "beat gold" and get quick creds. It's popular, but farmers don't understand that they ruin a game.

1) If you farm, you lose your skills. In my own experience I can say that you become worse player and my friends agree too. If you think that it's a first step to gold games, you are wrong. It's on par with bronze and just gives you bad habits like camping in one place and dying.
2) Majority of the public gold games are now FB W/G/G. It means when you want to have fun, try new maps, classes and weapons all you get is one bloody map with bloody weak enemies.

Play different maps and different enemies. Choose random game. Have fun and don't grind.
P.S. Hopefully Bio will fix this with balance changes or with a patch.

I am sorry but i have to point out a few things why bioware is responsible for this and players are doing it out of necessity.

IT all boils down to the idiotic unlock system.

I mean hell. i have seen people with barely all characters unlocked, weilding black widow and/or scorpion, paladin or talon. and hell i dont have any of those even though i got nearly all rare weapons maxed out, and i have found a javelin and wraith -.- and i have played since day 1, and standing at nearly 1700 N7 rank(i promote as soon as i can, allways since i plan on taking 3K N7, point where MP no longer matters for what it comes to singleplayer)

I have bought 50 or so premium packs, and so many spectre packs i cant even begin to count, spend atleas 12 mill credits on regular spectre packs alone.

And since the odds of actually unlocking something you need is slim to none after a certain point, some people like me, get royally ****ed. for example for me to play gold, the way i would love to play it, would require me to unlock scorpion or black widow, and till then, the builds i would have most fun with, are un usable for me. Hence forced to grind FB:W/G/G for 1-2 hours a day till the next time we get premiums, and hope for a scorpion or blackwidow.

You would not believe how much faster the game grows stale if you dont unlock anything new, compared to farming which you know, will result to unlocking things faster.

[DoctorEss]

Yeah, why is everyone so worried about this? Does it affect your game? No. You aren't playing it, so those "bads" or whatever lingo you throw aren't IN your games.

So essentially you believe gold is being "killed" because people you will never encounter play a mode you don't like, and you never play it with them.

Right. It's not like it's an exploit. Exploit would be something that clearly circumvents the game mechanics in an unintended way to profit the person using it.

Picking an enemy type and a difficulty type and a map type allowed by the game, then seeking cover behind an object (as the mechanics allow and encourage) is all there is to it.

Much like arguments about gay marriage and abortions: If you don't like it, don't do it, but don't grouse about other people wanting to play the way they want with like minded individuals.

[Pugz82]

I swear you kiddies on these forums cry about everything and anything...I am on a lot of forums and never seen so much ****ing in my life. WHO CARES how people play this game, FBW/Geth/Gold is not cheating, hell it's not even farming...its taking a choke point of a map and killing ****.

Geth happen to be likely one of the easiest factions to beat on gold...you can take the same tactics from FBW and do it on any map. I helped 2 friends get the achievement for beating all maps on gold...we did it the same way every time. Found a spot on the map we could defend and deployed a decoy. Why bother doing it any other way...hey lets all run all over the map during gold!!! Sure that goes over so well for the guy running the wrong way alone.

Play with friends, quit crying and complaining over how someone plays a game with AI enemies. I play random gold matches every now and then and have gotten plenty of games on other maps with different enemies.

cry moar.

A salarian engineer is not needed to do FBW/G/G "properly". It's incredibly easy no matter what setup you're using.

[HowlingSiren]

I farm FBW/G/G once in a while. It's quite boring, but useful. I like my sniper rifles and heavy pistols, and I kept unlocking shotguns or SMG. So I farmed a bit to max out all my uncommon weapons and move on to the better weapons or unlock new characters to play around with. I honestly don't see the problem, but then I never had an issue being matched to lobbies that were not FBW/G/G.
