And I didn't get bored as I usually do in MEAMP, and I used the crappiest kits (lvl 1 adept) with crappiest weapons (Sweeper and that new revolver thing) for the challenge points but we still did ok, just by sticking together, not moving from our positions and supporting each other we had 10 smooth games in a row without anyone dying. Most of my team had crappy low level kits too, but we made it work by patiently camping that spot, it was totally like in the old FBW/G days.
And it felt good. After so many games played in that trench I really started to feel a connection with my buddy. The other two were always camping the left side with the ammo box, covering the doors while we were mostly covering what was coming from the open field. And you know what, it was fun. Why was it fun? Should I feel bad for doing this, was this wrong?

I'm sure someone is going to try to make you feel bad for playing the way you want to play, it'll help them sleep better at night. Never understood why others feel obligated to tell fellow gamers "this" is how you're supposed to play like there's a hidden set of rules or morals.

You were lucky. I keep getting into games preset for zero outlaws gold where the team tries to camp on the middle bridge and gets eaten by dogs.
Farming without understanding the farming techniques -> not cool.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there may be a satirical subtext to OP's post.*
In any case, you've certainly outlined a scenario which would essentially be ideal for what you're doing - all four players on the same page, using the same strategy, and working towards the common purpose of farming.
The only negative consequence of camping and farming in the manner that you are is when your game is open to people joining. In those scenarios, you wind up with a very high percentage of games having the same settings, which is boring for players who don't want to grind or farm. In the old days, it was Platinum Rio, and in the even older days it was FBW/G/G.
Since you mitigated that problem by sticking with the same group of players for several games in a row, the only people complaining would be the ones who get offended by the way others play, even when it doesn't effect them. Of which there are plenty.
But, you know... fuck those people. >8)
*But just a little one.

Play how you like.
People just get annoyed about this because it's hard to find games that aren't set to that map and enemy. The only thing that I didn't understand was when people in me3 would almost have maxed manifests but would still just farm white/geth or rio/reapers.

The only thing that I didn't understand was when people in me3 would almost have maxed manifests but would still just farm white/geth or rio/reapers. Or maxed manifest 200k challenge points dudes camping Silver with a Harrier, Reegar or BW. I think that was mostly a L2P-issue for those people, even though having played for so long they didn't get better at the game because they didn't challenge themselves at all. OT: Farming credits shouldn't be fun. You're doing it wrong. Just kidding, if you were having fun that way, go for it. Nothing beats fun.

I am not sure how you managed to run 10 missions with your upload targets, your hack targets, your assassination targets and your device targets all helpfully showing up in that corner.
Well, ok, assassination targets might have cooperated by trying to jump on you... but maybe your description was ... um ...
(Actually: I have been on plenty of similar missions, and that corner is a strong position to fight from for many character designs, but not all of them.)

I'm not a huge fan of that map, but it is a good spot to be in since there's a nice shooting lane for mobs to wander into.

If you're happy and you had/are having fun, then that's what really matters, not what a bunch of strangers thinks
The only problem with this, is a lot of farmers suck and come in without consumables, rage quit and die. Today I got lured into a Zero/Outlaw/G game and that's exactly what happened. We got an upload objective on Wave 3, everybody died without gel'ing, and one rage-quit. Thankfully a fellow asari joined me and we rekt everything by going all over the place. (The lobby was set to U/U/G - I was so happy... but then I went to put on consumables - thinking I would need them in case we get Kett - but the host sneakily set it to this abomination by the time the count-down already hit zero).

I had to host 3 games just now to carry one of my friend.
Wow.. Krogan Vanguard with 100% charge evo & being host makes so much damn difference. The game was so easy.. it was laughable.
Anyway... I do enjoy Z/O/G.. ..but I still can`t play more than 3 games without a break.
Winning & opening packs = Best fun for now.

They really need to make it so it automatically unreadies everyone immediately and cancels the countdown if the host changes any of the mission settings. I think that was the case in ME3MP if I recall correctly. Chances are it won't happen though. Sigh.

Actually it does cancel, I just thought I didn't ready up, and everybody is waiting on me, so I just readied up fast without re-checking everything.
ps: Inb4 everybody telling me "stop bitching and host your own lobby".
