Now, just because of Jos Hendriks's little comment about eating his hat if Platinum turned out to be easily farmable, I decided to do a little thought experiment.  How would I go about farming Platinum as easily and lazily as possible, with no particular need for consumables, skill, movement, or whatever, and still get rather quick (say, 20 minutes or so) completion times?

Well, it turns out the answer was pretty easy.  The very first thing that came to mind worked like a charm, even without a full team (my first test had only 3 people).  Here's a video of me testing out the first of the strategies I came up with.  Enjoy your 400,000 credits per hour, everyone. 

Note that the goal here wasn't to go as fast as I could (I can beat 20 minutes fairly easily).  It was to create strategies that would be easy and profitable for mediocre players in order to demonstrate how easy Platinum mode is.

Here's the video. 
Here's the version without music.

I'm using an N7 Demolisher with 6/6/6/6/0 (no Fitness).  She is the keystone of this strategy, allowing endless grenade spam, tech burst and fire explosion setups, armor debuffs, and unlimited ammo for a party that's staying put.  The other players are a Vorcha Soldier with Flamer, an Ex-Cerberus Vanguard with Smash, and an N7 Fury with Annihilation Field and Throw.  The Asari Justicar with an offensive bubble and area reave is also a great choice for this strategy (as I'll demonstrate in the next vid), as are Infiltrators in general (but especially the Geth).  Basically anything that will deal a huge amount of damage in an enclosed space (particularly to Banshees).

I would love to see Jos eat a hat as much as the next guy however, you are aware that farming denotes the idea that the average player can engage in the farming...Just food for thought (size 7 1/2).

Cheers

 I do love it how you guys and gals rally together on something like this. 
Clearly I will have to be a lot more careful with setting goals for you to be able to make me eat my words, and in this case a hat. I'm working on a delicious hat plan, that will happen.

Thanks for the video, GodlessPaladin. It's helpful feedback for myself and our gameplay team, too.
