What's up with Akkad?

[WorvernScar]

I've started running into people in pub who've been getting pretty salty at me for leaving at wave 5, which I typically do when farming credits. This has been virtually taught to be by veteran players from waaaay back during my early times in Warframe. Do Akkad, 5 waves, out and repeat.

Did something change with Akkad as a credit farm where the norm is to stay beyond 5 waves?

Edit: Apologies if this is the incorrect place to post. I view the forums a lot but rarely post. >.>

nothing wrong with it, it's a good credit farming method, but people who farm xp get annoyed by people who only play 5 waves and stall their xp gain, because they want to go with a team and people who farm credits take space and then leave and no one can join after 5.

from experience, i never comment on it but it can be frasturation, not being able to find a team

It's five waves of baby town frolics. Why even bring pugs?

akkad is one of few places with decent exp for 15-20 waves and if you leave at 5 you leave them a 3 man party that get less enemies and xp, though technically doubling their creds. 

i didn't really research how exactly credit payout gets increased for not full party game but i guess you could try a solo run and see f you get more credits

Bu-wai-what-No. Less people mean less enemies meaning less credit drops. Players don't steal credits away from you, you know. All players get all the credits picked up.

Akkad is the highest level Infested Defence available. Ppl usually go there to level up their Weapons and Warframes as you can level them pretty quick if you get 20 round teams. To put it in numbers: 4x20 rounds = warframe 1-30. 1x20 rounds = weapon 1-30 if you have only one equipped.

Credit farm at akkad? Index, low/medium risk poops on akkad, try it... before it gets nerfed.

More players = more credits so overall it's more efficient in pubs if you're farming credits

It's not gonna get nerfed.

The whole point of the Index is gambling for huge gain.

Most that might happen is the Brokers might get buffed.

I made roughly 15kkk since yesterday(500k at medium) and its not really that hard if you bring the big guns... something will happen.

The problem, OP, is that you go into PUBLIC missions and leave after 5 waves. 

It is something that can be done almost exactly as efficiently solo as it can in a group. Which means that you pubbing a single 5-wave run cuts the XP of the people who want to stay for longer.

 

It's not a big deal, of course, but is an inconvenience to those who want to go on longer runs.

its not all about credits...i made today about 3mil just playing...but more u play u get better rewards...more credits more xp..playing just to farm will  just cause u very hard burnout...

Yeah. They'll buff the enemies. Lowering the rewards will only serve to annoy more people and break the lore.

This is why I keep telling people that Hydron Sedna is a better place for exp farming.

In the exp-credit farming spectrum,  Akkad is at best in the middle
