Guild Wars 2

Based on the discussion about Diminishing Returns on Karma and Loot it’s quite apparent that ANet doesn’t like their players excessively farming specific events for extended periods of time.

But then why were these events (mainly the Cursed Shore “base defense” ones) made to be so incredibly “farmable”?

I mean they reset what? Every 15 minutes and spawn hundreds of mobs that die with little/no effort. Perfect for easy loot. The real kicker is though that we have multiple of these practically next to each other so it’s easy to rotate between them for maximum loot and Karma.

And then there’s the other question. If you don’t want people to constantly farm Orr, then why are events elsewhere so less lucrative?

Why do I get about 30% less Karma for an event I do elsewhere? If they don’t want us farming Orr like Bots, then why tax us for going elsewhere?

Why have Events on a 15 minute timer in the first place? Who needs such a constant spam of Events? It just makes everything feel so inconsequential if it’s repeated ad nauseam.

If you want people to farm less, make it less farmable (ergo, more engaging).

Yes ecatly, what happened to the event chains and random event factors. i´d really like to see that instead of staying on the same spot every 15min and hit the 1 button.

SILENCE! That’s my way of making moneyZzzzz!!!

Seems to me like they want us to buy gold through gems.

SILENCE! That’s my way of making moneyZzzzz!!!

Except so is everyone else.

It just leaves a huge rift between players who are willing to put their brain on hiatus and farm Orr like a Bot and those who are actually playing the game in a “natural” and diverse way.

What good is having twice as much money than before if you’re paying twice the price for goods?
