When Register to unlock hidden link brought us Register to unlock hidden link, they also brought something rather unique to the MMO space with the Register to unlock hidden link -- the ability for players to create their own mission scenarios and share them with other players. Unfortunately, when many games offer achievements of some sort, there are people who figure out ways to cheat the system and farm them out... which, sadly, has proven to be the case with City of Heroes.
Synapse (aka Register to unlock hidden link) from the Register to unlock hidden link development team addresses this in a recent blog post. He writes: "We really didn't want the Mission Architect to be an environment that encourages farming for XP, Rewards or Badges, and we thought long and hard about the current Architect badge situation. Ultimately we'd like it to be a place where you go to play great player created content." To keep the Mission Architect system in keeping with their initial goals, Register to unlock hidden link is removing the badges commonly farmed from the game, 90 of them in all, which he lists in his post.
