I remember when FBW/G/G was a constant thing in gold lobbies. It got to the point where I'd host my own random gold lobbies because it's so boring. Sure it was the easiest way(as Outlaws on Zero are now), but at that point I wasn't playing a video game. I was playing a waiting game to see how long I could go before getting bored of the same map, the same enemy, the same strategy. U/U/G or U/U/P was the most fun and is what cause me to play ME3 MP for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. I don't know if I'll put in the same amount of hours in MEA MP but I can see the potential. Gonna stick with Unknown/Unknown and it's been fun for me(EXCEPT YOU, MR. BLINK FIEND! >:| ) As a PuG player, I definitely played my share of FBW/G/G in ME3MP... and it was great place to try different kits and earn credits. I do agree that it can get boring and old... especially if you grind that for hours. but I personally found them OK because I only played 2-3 games on week days and there are few things that never get old. Sense of achieving victory together, killing countless enemies, doing different objective missions and opening card packs.. These seriously never get old for me even if I repeatedly play under same setting. lol It probably has something to do with me always playing with random PuG players. |

Most efficient ways to bore of the game and move onto something else too. For casual gamers, yes. But for mass effect multiplayer veterans, it ain't nothing but a thang. I can easily spend thousands of hours purely grinding credits as I did for the previous game, it's how I play the game. Never gets old. I don't recognize you from ME3mp forums since years after its final DLC, so my point still stands or you're a casual too. |

I was in fact on the old bsn for a few years, under a different username. I done seen it. When it comes to ME3mp, I'm far from a casual player! |

During MEA announcements on other forum you were all over sp section of MEA but never once in ME3mp. Sounds suspicious to me.

It's the most effective way to farm right now. It would be stupid to play anything else.

Didn't know so many had dreams of being a farmer. No wonder those harvest moon games sell like hotcakes. Build tedious, and the farmers will come.

It`s important for everyone to have fun the way they want, but I personally gotta build up my manifest to certain level in order to start enjoying the game. I have Angara Insurgent at rank IX, but still no Vanquisher.  I don`t see myself stop farming anytime soon. |

Wiping on wave 6 upload/devices to kett or remnant on SILVER because of incompetent teammates is not fun. Unless I waste a lot of consumables and carry, winning in those conditions is highly unlikely. On gold, I only use xp boosters and rarely use consumables. Full extraction 95% of the time. |

As if it wasnt enough that there are only 2 types of fucking players on this mess at the moment. No. That being said, they could look to increase the XP / Credit payout for doing random/random. People will tend to want to take the easiest route, and that currently is Outlaws. True, I think a good solution would be an incentive for random. Not that I need it, maybe because I am not racing with my "schoolmates from the institute" or something as many seem to be doing XD |

I started out on gold in ME3MP farming geth/white, because I didn't have a friends list built yet and wasn't capable of jumping straight to random lobbies.
I ended up sticking around and turned into a regular platinum player. Almost maxed my manifest before quitting (all but a couple of the last set of ultra rares).
Some of these people will burn out and quit. Some will become competent PUGs. Either way, they'll balance-change or map-edit away the farming. Just like they did with geth/white, and plat/glacier, and other farming setups I can't remember at the moment.
Just be patient.
And be glad there's no fucking Krysae.

First basics, then advanced and I've just started with Premium packs a few nights ago. Have all common and uncommons now, rare characters at X (Except that new salarian that dropped today, got him to II), weapons at 5-6 and mods at 3-4 |
