Ruining???
That's a little extreme.
They are not open to all levels, so it's still limited to roughly the same type of level, you won't get a level 0 bot against a level 5 con.
If you don't like them, don't join them.
I think asking for equal numbers of single and mixed level missions is a bit much- mixed levels are open to more people- so giving more people a chance to play, for less work.
If a mission is open to levels 0-1, are you asking for an equivalent mission to be posted for just level 0? Or both level 0 and level 1, so everyone has an equal number of mixed and single level missions to choose from?
That is a lot of extra missions.
AFAIK not all missions are filled, so adding in extra seems a little pointless.
Personally, I think they are great, if I actually manage to hit something (yeah right) with a higher level than me, I get extra xp- Fab! ( otherwise I'm happy to be Cannon Fodder

And the risk does pay off.

That is exactly what I'm talking about. And that is what is happening to me more times than not. And if I'm one of the first few to join that mission I don't have the option to bail out. The risk does NOT pay off because instead of spending an hour in the CR, I could be out earning more XP.

Try being a high level Autobot with less active backup to call on...

Something that's been suggested before and i'd like to see more single level missions as well.
Plus if you're deploying 6 bots and only one mission is available having more than 1 mission generate at a time would be a lot less time consuming than having to refresh, deploy, refresh, deploy ... 5 times!

To be honest, configurations don't mean a whole lot in HMW. The RNG is a bit too random for any one configuration to be consistently effective...

Dreadwind wrote:I disagree with that. While it's true you're not going to get maximum XP all the time, or even half the time, you can consistantly pull in good XP with a good configuration. There will always be the 0 XP missions with the RNG. I don't know of a way to avoid that, but I'm doing pretty consistantly well with most of my team.

I just like the chance to slag the higher ups and a chance that one of my lvl 1's will last long enough to get get a shot off. Destroy Autobot Factories is great for that and my CR cost is low enough my lvl 0's cover that no prob.
