    they changed it as most people only did it for the dilith, but since cryptic added a 1 hour cooldown on dilth rewards, unless you have alts (not sure if the cooldown is account wide or character wide), there isnt really much sense in doing them

    me...i do them to blow stuff up hahah

    They've never explicitly come out and said "no farming" missions. They've done stuff to lower the amount and types of loot you can get though most notably the daily loot limit.

    I've never really understood it myself. It seems to turn a game into a chore? Not just that, but a profit spinning chore in a game based on a show that is anti-money. Post-profit utopia turned into a job???? Well, if it works for them...

    Agreed. Don't quite understand it. To get the dilithium reward, the mission has to be at least 30 minutes long anyway, so why not spend the time playing a normal Foundry mission, get the same amount of dilithium and the fun of having a story too?

    I think he was talking mostly about loot farming.

    I.E - You park here, ships appear one at a time and you blow them up and take the green glowing balls of goodness.

    No it's not against the rules, they are well aware of it and that's why they put a hard cap on the amount of loot that drops for you daily (this is account wide, not character only)
