Guild Wars 2

I think we all now the farming train in Queensdale. Just now after defeating the Shadow Behemoth two trains were formed and as usual the whole thing got out of hand. Players “shouting”, blaming and cursing each other for killing a champ. Arguing why there are two trains now … blah blah blah usual “train rage” in map chat. Thats why I would suggest that the spawn timers of champions in Queensdale get changed. I mean this is a starting area and the first impressions new players get over map chat there is something like “dont kill oak, join the train kitteng newbs”. Even for a long time player like me this really gets annoying sometimes.

What are your experiences on this issue?

What would you get from champ farm from Queensdale? I tried a few times and it was extremely boring and the loot was bad. The color bags were annoying as well. Please enlighten me why so many people doing that.

Just because.

Thanks. So the Krytan daily event should be very efficient with the train.

Little effort, good experience, easy loot, decent money.

I think a better suggestion would be to fix the forum search function.

There have been dozens of threads debating the QueensDale champ train. I can’t really imagine there is more that needs to be said but just in case I’ll quote myself instead of copy/paste:

If gold is your goal, there are much better ways to aquire it, but the Queensdale train is good way to earn karma and xp at the same time which is a really big reason people run it.

I kinda like the champ trains.

Not sure about anyone else but our guild puts up banners, people thank us, some have even joined our guild. I’ve met new guildies, dungeon mates, theorycrafters and more running the trains.

The best thing about the queensdale train is you don’t have to be 70+ to run it like the FGS one.

Since there are a bunch of people around it allows me to try trait / weapon / utility combos I wouldn’t think of trying out fresh in fractals or dungeons. I try different rotations, I experiment with the combo system, different builds, and different stat spreads.

The train is only as boring as you let it be.

If you run into one of the rare jackwagons that is rude, report them then block and move on.

Yet another thread complaining about the Queensdale train. Give it a rest already, we know Anet will nerf it eventually, just like they nerf every other thing that is even remotely farmable. They are just biding their time.
