Players employ methods of AFK farming in numerous online games where grinding has become a headache above all else. Some Grand Theft Auto Online users rely on this method of grinding to earn in-game cash and RP. The passive XP-gaining trick was a tool used in the original Call of Duty: Warzone, too. It\u2019s a facet of the modern multiplayer experience that many have come to begrudgingly accept. In certain cases, though, AFK farming seems to have gotten way out of hand. MW2 XP farming is taking the fun out of Infected mode Reddit user ViperSWE recently found themselves unable to enjoy a game of Infected because most of their fellow Modern Warfare 2 players weren\u2019t actually playing. \u201cThis is getting out of hand,\u201d the user wrote for a video caption whose content showed about half a dozen MW2 players erratically spinning in circles. Such strange behavior is indicative of a user or, in this case, several users AFK farming to grind for XP boosts without doing the work. As far as some players are concerned, Modern Warfare 2 developers are partially at fault for the current state of things. In response to a question about why MW2 fans are XP farming this way, one person said it\u2019s \u201cbecause people don\u2019t want to grind a battle pass that takes an incredibly tedious amount of time to finish.\u201d However, it seems the more pertinent question is why players are grinding this way in Infected mode. Apparently, AFK farming in \u201cDMZ is a much better method of grinding tokens.\u201d Some Redditors argue that Infected doesn\u2019t require anyone to \u201cbabysit\u201d their controller when grinding. Queuing up the game and walking away is ideal, after all. Unfortunately, this means those who actually want to enjoy Infected to the fullest are at a loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Warfare 2 players blast devs for XP farming \u201cgetting out of hand\u201d Activision BlizzardMW2 users are blasting Call of Duty developers for the XP farming issues currently plaguing the game\u2019s Infected mode.
