It's the acceptable way of farming Platinum for credits.

I personally don't understand it but then again I do play the game for fun.

Acceptable?

BSN offers no quarter.

Acceptable as in "not cheating".

BSN hasn't been great about defining cheating in the past. Conflicts of interest and all that.

What does BSN have to do with anything? It's the developers decision to accept a hiccup as clever use of game mechanics or to simply label it as outright cheating.

The part where I specifically said BSN

Lol it's the only way I play Rio.

Imo, its the best intro to platinum mode, Rio/Reapers, Yes, Hide back in the box, it's not really cheating since you can still get r@ped inside the box, since they can still hit you ... and phantoms can run inside it and whatnot, .... Past wave 7 it turns to hell no matter what, and you need a good team to pass that, and things get even rougher when you get a upload objective in the middle

Pathetic on so many levels. Also, lol 'good team'.

giant is a better intro map.  Rio takes too long.

It's not surprising you can't follow a conversation if you're only reading half of it.

You misunderstand. I read it and felt like that part wasn't worthy of my attention.

So I ignored it.

Have you ever been in a rio game where the stupid pugs actually try to hold the middle down, and get r@ped by both sides and go down by wave 1? Here's an alternative, Simply, tell them to goto the box, and hold the 2 side alleyways until things get rough, then use the box as a last resort...Heh.
And yes... a good team , to pass platinum mode ......Did you expect to do it with a buncha pugs using level 1 characters? Or wait ... are you one of those pro's that loves to carry everything by yourself, welp, I bet the pugs enjoy your gullible self.

Call it what you want -- doesn't make it any less pathetic.

Still lolling at your definition of a good team as one that can hold the box past wave seven. Please tell us more about your mighty conquests.

I entered a lobby set to Reapers, Firebase Rio, Platinum, with a lv. 19 or so Volus Sentinel and a lv. 17 Vorcha Sentinel. Maybe the fact that they didn't even bother to level up to 20 should've been enough of a red flag, but I figured they were a duo and had enough confidence in themselves to do it anyway, so I said why not.

Anyway, we wiped at wave 8, which was unfortunate, since we were doing surprisingly well. I say surprising because these things usually end up failing, which is something I wanted to ask about as well. What's your experience, if any, of this tactic? Have you seen or tried it before, and if so, what do you think about it?

You surely need a Puggernaut or two in your party to success. Shieldboosting Volus makes them totally invincible.
But such games usually take a long time, about 35-40mins, and still have a chance to fail. If you are not ready for Plat, playing two Gold matches could give you more credits for the same time.

It's definitely a thing, and I have no idea why. Giant camping is a far superior experience.

Giant Reapers is a better farm setup IMO...so simple, easier objectives.

Unless tripple central hack. With 2 scrubs out of circle and dead.
But still better than troll-drone on rio.

I love devices on Jade though, esp with a geth staggerfest (carebear's turret-blender on that map is fun as well)

[Silvershroud]

I have never even seen people camping the box of shame, and I still hate the idea. I got cornered into the box once when I was clutching a wave. I immediately nuked everything in sight and got out of there.

That upper hallway area?  I'm pretty sure I once ran into four turrets up there.  But it's hard to say for sure, as I got dropped to the ground before I even knew what was going on.  Embarassingly enough, it was inbetween waves.

Ummm, what? 

That is a really bad comparison since the same scenario could happen in Rio with an even worse center hack than Giant. Or you could get 3 long escorts or pizza deliveries which tend to be very costly on there as well. I'd honestly say that is one of the better maps to get devices on since you can put a lot of space between you and enemies.

It is an ok way to farm plat when you don't have anyone on your friends list to carry you and you're starting out either on platinum or the whole game. From my experience back when I was starting out on PS3 things usually go sour on the objective waves, when the phantoms come out to play or extraction when you have to run past all the enemies. It does take long to do it though usually because the team is underpowered and unskilled but you do learn how to deal with platinum because you survive longer than you actually should. Eventually you get more confident, get better weapons and step out of the box of shame.

Like others have said there are newer more effective ways of farming and getting platinum experience. I would say rio/reapers is for the beginners and giant is the next step. The best way is if you have friends who are willing to carry you and give advice the previous methods you l2p mainly through trial and error the latter you more or less skip making so many mistakes because they'll give you platinum ready builds and tips.

Devices on Giants are not so hard as well (except for a pair of troll-devices)
Devices on Rio are ok mostly (the only map when I would prefer them to escort/pizza), unless it's Collectaz-Gold 6 and 10.

I'd really have to disagree with a lot of this. It teachs you terrible habits that don't work well in a non-farming game. In most matches your team will be easily overrun if you try to huddle together like that unless it is a team that is familar with each other and know which enemies are the biggest threats. 

As for the best way being to let people carry you and give you advice, that can go either way in my opinion. When you have someone you know will drag you to the end it limits your ability to step up and do it yourself. While the advice is a good thing, you would be better served taking that advice and playing lower difficulties in a game full of random people to really have a chance to make use of that while not being under-prepared with weapons/gear.

I don't understand the box of shame. The matches are 40 - 50 minutes and even then, these scrubs will rarely win. Sometimes I'll wait for them to wipe, then wait until I'm clutching a wave on my own and will die on purpose to waste their time.

Unless you're playing with good players who can walk through platinum, gold games will get you more credits in the long run because it's easy.

You're the exact person that is the problem here.  

Not only do I refuse to go in the box, but I run around on my own and usually outscore 2nd place by 100% or more.
