Hi folks!

While I was in Frostgourge Sound today I started a discussion in /m which turned out quite interesting.

For a while I wasn’t farming since the ghosts / rumors of “Diminishing returns” spooked around in my head. Though I was quite a “farmer” in previous MMOs. I actually enjoyed farming in WoW. Enjoyment by farming surely comes with good profit by that activity.

Since I only heard about “DR” and this stuff I wasn’t bothered to farm in this MMO. (Also there was no need for it. Which I like pretty much)

Now some things changed. Ascanded Gear was introduced (please no comment about that one ^^) and I quickly looked up all the reciepes which got added to the game. 250 T6 mats. That’s a word.

Here comes the “fail by design” I want to point out. If you need to farm you should be able to do it.

So there’s two possibilities here: Either remove that DR from farming completely. Or give us some sort of “Debuff” that we see that we’re now hit by DR.

Also: If one or two dedicated farmers would share some tips how to avoid it as best as possible, you’re most welcome.

Just one statement: I don’t want more farming in this game. I just want to be able to do it.

Hope you enjoyed my post,

Fori
