diminishing returns.
When farming, move to other areas. You are being punished for staying in exactly the same area. moving half a map away is enough to prevent it, swapping maps is even better. If you are farmign Orr…you have 3 zones to farm in. Doing meta-events also resets the farming timer.
The timer harms botters, and those grinding away in one map for hours on end like a zombie. Spend 2 hours in one map then move to another. Help people do story missions and it resets each time.
