Guild Wars 2

Hello all, today I am here to talk about a big problem: DR/Farming. I remember GW2 were you could farm in Orr if you wanted and earn lots of things.

A-net quickly nerfed Farming and put in a system called Diminished Returns (or DR)
Because people got their Legendaries to fast.

So the price of materials went up and up and suprisingly UP

meanwhile people start complaining that after they got their legendary the game is to shallow and needs more rewards, so what is my solution you may ask, well a new gear Tier!

now hear me out, nothing more powerful than ascended stuff, it has the same stats, but they are LEGENDARIES Tier 2, so what is a legendary tier 2, well it’s simple it’s a even more epic legendary, which is harder to get. the precursor for let’s say the TIER 2 Great Sword would be eternity, for the mace: The moot.

Now A-net knows how fast people can get weapons, so make them almost impossible (let it take 2 yrs to complete or something) and Remove DR and buff farming, because the problem of getting legendaries to fast is over!

This Crazy/Epic idea is made by me:

Hello I’m here to tell you DR is not a problem if you don’t farm. Furthermore A.net first implemented DR in 2004 in a game called Guild Wars Prophecies, back then still called Guild Wars. I don’t know why you’re surprised it showed up in Guild Wars 2.

So why can raptor farm for 3 hours and have not a change in loot, but at the end of one temple event in Orr I see no loot at all?

Did you play in early GW2? CS was filled with people, and I just like to kill tings over and over to get loot, the only reason why A-net changed this was beause of the Legendaries

Pretty sure they didn’t even touch the DR, what they changed was the events themselves. Also if you aren’t getting DR’ed after 3 hours of farming raptors you are killing them INCREDIBLY SLOW.

1/ because you keep changing the leechers in raptor farm, which makes you reset the DR every time. Try the same with undead in bergen hot springs.
2/ you’re lying. I get tons of drops from all temples. Pics or it didn’t happen.

I did play in early GW2. Did you play in early GW1 where loot was far more difficult to get than currently in GW2?

Do you really like to farm like a lobotomized zombie or do you make yourself believe that because you want the legendary? A.net knows that farming is not fun and people don’t like to feel forced to farm. They’re forcing to you to not be braindead. Vary your activities and you won’t be hit with DR at all.

sigh Typing this message for the 3d time as it keeps giving me a ‘rare’ error

2/ nope not lying I did Melandru yesterday and the last 2 minutes or so of the las event I tagged the same way I did before(Whirwind attack/whirling axes) and didn’t get anything, other than XP

It might be hard to comprehend, but I like to farm, I know other people in my guild who like to farm, i’m not really intersted in a legendary, but somehow I can enjoy myself in farming for a few hours and than do something else.

It’s hard to do variety as the 2 lvl 80 zones are CS and SC. And while exploring in this game is pretty fun I like to farm aswell, it’s the same like doing your dailies, do WvW, do Dragon Bash, help some Guildies or random players, lvl alts,… Why not change DR and make it viable to farm something else than CoF/CoE.
