The idea: why not make it so there is a credit penalty for playing the same map and enemy multiple times consecutively?  This would mean that if you play the same map and enemy again, you get rewarded less credits.  If you keep going, you receive less and less credits at the end of each match.


Sure, it is wonderful when developers control how players play the game instead of the player playing in a way that is fun for him.  :wizard:

Here are more ideas for stopping the evils of farming. The game could randomly select a class for the player, randomly randomly assign skill points, randomly assign weapons, gear, and mods, and place the player character on a random map with random players in a random difficulty. At various times during gameplay ME3 could randomly take control of a random player character and use random powers/shoot random weapons at random targets for some random length of time.  And random events could happen, like a random weapon on the player character blowing up or powers just randomly fizzling and randm enemies becoming totally immune to attacks at random times.

After all, players should not be allowed to always play in way they deems fun, including selecting their own class, map, loadout, character build or targets. That would be abusive. :devil:

I agree with this post 100%.  Control should be taken out of player's hands.

I don't support this idea. When I'm host, I pick Cerberus every time, just so I don't have to play against Geth. I suppose I could rotate every other match between Reapers and Cerberus, but I prefer Cerberus to Reapers, so I keep it on Cerberus. If there was a way to set a filter to never rotate Geth I would be fine with it.

Why is farming a bad thing again when you have the option of hosting? Bad troll -1.

Or maybe just make a penalty when playing FBWGG/FBWGP 2 or more times in a row (when selected, not UUG/UUP)..

Wait- what??? This is an awful idea, nothing else much I can say. I gotta stop you right here.

I can understand where you are coming from, but there are certain times where we encourage people to play the same faction and/or map over and over.

Think about operation olympia, if this punishment was in place people would not have worked on the community goal.

Instead of punishing farming, how bout give us a little extra incentive to play UU? Don't lessen the credits on a farming setup but increase them for those who play the UU.

And the moment they punish me for playing the game as I want I will say goodbye to this game. I payed 60€ for it and I will play the same maps and factions if I want to. Host your own games and let others be.



^^this!!! I'm not a farmer, I usually go U/U and I have my own way of playing. I use guns I feel most comfortable with (even though I've been told I'm wrong, but that is their opinion and doesn't matter to me unless I ask for advice) and I use characters/powers I like best (again being told I'm wrong/stupid etc) I have a playstyle that works for me. Other playstyles work for other people. Farmers have their own playstyle and non-farmers have their own playstyle. Bioware will very quickly lose a lot of players if they pander to those who cry and whinge about "they won't play it my way" No-one is asking you to change your playstyle but show that same respect to others please

Why is it that some of the community on this forum seems to want to just kill the game for some players? You guys aren't the only ones playing. Stop being lazy and impatient and make your OWN lobby. I am always the host of my games. I never run into "farmers". If I did, I'll just play. Stop whining about other's playstyle.

exactly!!! I'll play whatever map I'm put on. If someone is hosting and they pick a map or faction, it's their right to, and no-one else has the right to tell them they can't. if you are not host and don't like the map/faction, go and make your own lobby!!! That way you can pick what you want!!!!!

instead of penalty, why not reward? Unkown + 5% credit gain, another unknown + 5%, and we're gonna have 10% from extraction that'd make 20% total increase.

Really, your idea might not be bad for farmers, but it's bad for those of us who try to set up new records.

So, you want BW to penalize for what, you have already pointed out, most of it's players base is doing. That is a great idea!!.....<--sarcasm for those who missed it.

With the patch there will be far less farming FBW in platinum, if the banshees are really fixed, so just give it a bit of time and most FBW farming will move to gold. Of course, not long after that happens we will get more of these QQ threads regarding Glacier, since that is where the majority of platinum farming is going to shift to. As elite as these Glacier "speed runners" think they are; once you learn the technique, it hurts your skills much more than FBW ever would. Spawn nuking doesn't teach you anything that is really useful on the larger maps.

This is an RPG and people are going to farm, just as they do in any RPG.

Right-o, I'd say the thread has run its course. Thanks to those who actually tried to discuss and develop the idea. Those who were less constructive, you have my pity.
