Is this the end of scaled farming?

[Haowesie]

And I should point out that it's the twink farmers whom have stuck with this game and gotten it to the level of popularity it is today.

I created my other toons, because I enjoyed the game so much, I wanted to do it all over again with the hopes of improving my game play along with better equipment -- things I didn't know when I first started. This would be a good example for "customers" coming back. IMHO, repeat customers provide substantial revenue to STS as these are the people who actually are willing to purchase platinum (either for twinks or grinding). I would think that new customers would play for months for free (like myself) until they hit that certain point when they can truly say "I'm hooked". I didn't even register my first character until several months...

Sad sad sad

I loved having twinks for scaled farming - this should be over now. An organized L51 farming group now would be 4 L49s with AO2 gear running behind a L65 soloing maps - no need for fancy gear or smart builds anymore

But so true:

Awww Ruby, and I thought you just wanted to match clothes... ;P
