City of Heroes Mission Architect Badges Removed

NCsoft has announced that due to abuse of a new system in City of Heroes, many achievements or 'Badges' are being removed.

The new Mission Architect system in CoH allows players to make their own content and share it with others. However, it didn't take long for people to develop scenarios that could be 'farmed', i.e. replayed over and over for experience points, rewards and Badges.

Oh dear, there will be many unhappy Heroes / Villains soon.

I'd imagine this is a minority of players abusing the system. Too bad they ruin the fun for everyone else :(

[Terrice]

Isn't that always the case, the minor few that ruin it for the rest of us? :\

[Leord]

Lol. Internet "democracy".

[Cogo]

Yes, that pretty much sums it up.

[Dorjan]

Damn abusers!

[Leord]

Not surprised. This was bound to happen. Sad but true. I wonder if they can add some nice innovative way to let people make scenarios, and reward the really good ones, without opening up to proper farming.

[Terrice]

I think it's a fine line, to try and implement a system that rewards those who are looking for some fun without it being abused in some form or another by a select few.

Always some abusers, sucks they have to ruin it for every1 else.

No, if it was just a few people...
If it was just a few people then they wouldn't care. You log in to the game now and everyone from level 1 to level 50 "LF AE team" "AE team LF 2 more" "AE farm team starting"
