MoP Remix frog farmers were less bad than this.
Either one perma ban/temp ban the people who did the exploit and revert them to friendly.
Remove any associated gold/mounts/tmog they obtained (from either the paragon turn ins or selling the mounts which are currently selling for roughly 1mil each).
OR revert the nerfs entirely and let people who didn’t use said exploits to also earn the rewards in the space of 2 hours as opposed to 20 hours of scrap heaps.
Yet another “Exploit Early, Exploit Often” scenario

I farmed it early on at the lake where everyone did, used the purchaseable tools to boost the number of papers you can get + used the darkmoon rep buff each hour. Took me 8 hours to hit exa.
However the vendor sells cosmetics only or have I missed something?
Why’s the outrage?
We can’t discuss exploits on the forums but that was shut down pretty quickly by Blizzard.
If you don’t care for mounts you wont bother to keep going with the rep until you get lucky on the paragon reward.
Wasn’t a fan of the grind mindlessly by the water with the items. Did that for one paragon and then decided I’d rather find other ways to farm the last mount.

Farming paragon troves with them for Misc Mechanica, 1-2 each.
There’s 3 mounts for 25 each, and a bunch of pets costing 5-10.

So you’re saying you abused the grind yet still did it for a whole paragon and I’m assuming to get to exalted. In what 1-2 hours? Rather than 14 hours which is what the current grind takes with Scrap Heaps.
“Can’t discuss exploits” yet “Wasn’t a fan of the grind mindlessly by the water with the items. Did that for one paragon and then decided I’d rather find other ways to farm the last mount.” abused the grind anyway… How is this reasonable or fair for people who didn’t use said exploit or cheese.
The mobs on the beach don’t drop Market Research. Which is where the problem lies

The grinding mobs is not an exploit. Its normal gameplay and the vendor sells items you can put down that lasts three minutes that increases drops.
Now that apparently every single mobs MB drop rate are either gone or nerfed to the ground, what is even the point of the items that gives increased MB?
Since when? Cause I still see groups up there farming the researches.

I did yesterday and all group farm scrap, it gives between 10-15 item per scrap completed

They are just mistaken. They are either misunderstanding where the current farming is going on or never understood the exploit that was closed very quickly.
However endless mob grinds are the worst rep grinds for me. Others love them. To just round up and kill the same things over and over again is mind numbingly boring. I did one paragon with darkfuse, didn’t get the paragon mount and decided I’d rather do it some ohter way

So if the “normal grind” is no longer doable and has been hotfixed nerfed or removed. Call it what you want, it was not intended and therefore an exploit. I replied saying that the beach doesn’t work anymore. There is no misunderstanding on my part 
.
With the items you described the beach farm doesn’t work anymore. The only way to currently farm rep is scrap heaps. How are you not understanding this?
People who have farmed out 2 or 3 of the mounts should, like I said in the OP, get them removed and any gold removed along with mounts and other cosmetics.
As I’ve tried to explain the beach/mob farm isn’t a thing anymore. It’s all Scrap heap farms.
You jump the gun like Punyelf by doing half the research and jumping to a conclusion and saying it’s fine
The normal grind still exists. It is intended.
You are going on about an exploit that has long been fixed that has nothing to do with this conversation or what people are doing currently.
Farming the mobs by the top lake is not an exploit, it’s just killing regular mobs. No world quests are required to be up.
So by all means be obnoxious with your clown emojis. Makes no difference when nobody has done anything wrong. When you complete a trove (paragon) it contains 1-2 misc mechanica. That is how people are farming Market Research to hand in for 1k rep a pop because of the current winds of mysterious fortune buff. Using the proto type auto-advertiser.
10k rep per paragon, 1k a hand in. That is not an exploit. Nor is it what I was farming. I am after the paragon mount from the Darkfuse. That is an RNG drop from the paragon chest.

I think what he’s trying to say is that no, farming mobs by the top lake is not an exploit, but it has as of last reset also been removed from the game. The only way to farm this rep currently is by doing scrap heaps, which is entirely unfair to have to do compared to people who either exploited or farmed mobs by the lake.

Yeah I guessed that’s what they meant but then they got a bit derogatory and moderation had to remove some of their posts.
I just object to being called an exploiter, I’m a goody two shoes . The people who farmed by the lake were not breaking any rules, nor were any punishments handed out. It was just something Blizz decided to change, presumably they didn’t like the rate people were getting the rep/paragons at.
I got my paragon mount today from the Darkfuse so I’m happy. As I said previously, I didn’t like the boring mob grind and only did one paragon that way then went back to scrap piles. Just one paragon mount left to go now. Then it’s the dreaded misc mechanica mounts, I have one already, am well on the way to my second. Then it’s just the last.

Finally someone that gets the point! Amazing!
Rather than calling people misinformed even after 3 explanations on my part.
Thanks for your understanding!
Well gratz now you have null ways as they removed the reasonable one and will never revisit this ever again
