Guild Wars 2

…then why aren’t we allowed to do that?

20 tokens per 20+ minute run of an instance is no reward for the time or effort put in, as such my guildies refuse to do more than the 3 runs per night.

I ran my level 80 character through a few high level zones, time played that day was ~12 hours, upon looking at the gold I’d made at the end of the day it was under 1 gold. 1 gold for an entire day worth of events and quests?!

Special drops require you to farm, of course the system implemented to hinder bots are hindering honest players, so farming for items or gold is pointless as within minutes you are picking up gray loot.

WvWvW: I attempt to play solo and thanks to the design of the classes (speed etc) I am able to roam around…. however I get absolutely nothing for it in terms of tokens. I played for a while tonight and killed ~ 15 people solo, I made 2 tokens. The only way to earn a decent amount of tokens in WvWvW is to zerg with everyone else. This game literally rewards zerging, something that doesn’t interests me, never has, never will. At least allow solo players to gain as many tokens as those that zerg.

It just feels to me as though everything is against you in this game, I don’t want stuff handed out on a plate, but if you want people to farm, LET THEM, don’t hinder them to make the game last longer.

The official comment was that Anet has nothing against farmers. The DR system is supposed to hurt botters and exploiters only. Expect the system to be tuned for the next patches.
