Guild Wars 2

Hi,

How come we can farm nodes to our hearts content on multiple characters but when we farm mobs, we’re subject to DR?

I suggest they get rid of DR on mobs. If I want to farm Tiny Claws, I shouldn’t be subjected to DR on the mobs that drop them. It’s one of the main reasons I left GW2 before. I would like to see this addressed.

From what I understand Nodes are supposed to be farmed so no DR. If no DR is placed on mobs the the influx of people killing said mobs will raise increasing the amount in TP. DR is in place for a reason.

But I can’t see the distinction. Isn’t there already tons of Copper Ore on the TP? Why would it matter if there are tons of Tiny Claws on the TP. I’m not asking for one per mob, but if I get 3 after killing 10 mobs, I should get about 3 killing the next 10 mobs.

Nodes already have a built in limiter. They take anything from 1 to 24 hours to respawn(not entirely sure about the lower end but definitely much lower than mobs). Whereas a mob can respawn in 3 minutes.

DR is theoretically there as an anti-botting measure but it’s hard to say anything certain about it since the only thing we know for certain is that it exist. It should mean that you won’t get affected by it unless you are basically acting like a bot.

So, playing like a bot is killing the same stuff for 20 minutes trying to get mats for crafting? I remember killing 10 of something and getting 3 Tiny Claws. Then killing 10 and getting only 1. Then killing 30 to get my next one.

Hey, a question to you guys then. Is DR for mobs based on the mobs, or the player. That is, if I log into another character, will DR already be in effect from my first character on the mobs she’s killed, or will DR start over with the 2nd character?

I didn’t know DR applied to loot of any particular mobs. I’ve only seen it affect event rewards consisting of XP, karma and gold, not the loot dropped during said events.
