I feel farming is mandatory, so why keep nerfing it?
I suppose this is up to opinion. I personally have run many dungeons and have never felt like I was grinding. I run the dungeons because they are fun, and for nothing else. If, and when, I have enough tokens to buy a gift, I probably will.
Also many people would not agree that spending hours in WvW = grinding
Thats just says you don’t mind grinding (or at least that form), not that it isn’t grinding. It is under any definition.
Hmmm, perhaps. I do hate repetitive tasks and what I generally accept to be grinding. I find running a random dungeon with a group of friends is not a grind.
I consider a grind to be repeating the same dungeon over and over again in a relatively short time frame.
Farming is only mandatory if for some reason you have compulsion and impatience, and can’t slowly acquire a legendary as intended by collecting gold over time.
Also it wouldn’t take very long at all to get an 800g precursor if you think outside the box. If I made 27$/hr, I also theorectically make (27 × 2.5) ~68 gold/hr. 800/68 = ~11.75 hours of farming. In under 2 days at work I’ve made my precursor. My less than two work days are equal to your entire 3 months of “farming”.
Next time, think outside the box.
EDIT-
Try this one on for size: Take 2 sick days @ 27$/hr. Precursor shows up halfway through day 2.

If you think outside of the box you can just play another game or better yet spend real money on other form of entertainment.
Not that GW2 is a bad game or anything. But I can find other games as fun as GW2 or other form of entertainment if I have to spend 300$ on precursor or 600$ on a legendary.
And I hope I can have your job. 27$/hr is pretty good pay.

why the hell would you buy legendaries with money? And why do you have to do so?
This says more about you as a player, than about a game.

I’m responding to the guy above me. Why dont’ you respond to him instead of me.
I’m saying the exact same you are telling me to the guy above me.
The only reason I’m playing this game instead of other subscription game and f2p games is because it is cheaper.
That being said, if people is rich, I dont’ see anything wrong with them sending cash to Anet.

Think about it this way. What is farming? What is grinding? The only reason why someone would raise an issue about “farming” or “grinding” is because it’s not PLAYING. It’s not playing and having FUN! You want to minimize this unfun experience, right?

Exatly, nothing wrong with what you are saying.
On the other hand, I can minimize my unfun experience by just playing another game if I have to.
People have different value of their money and time. Everyone’s perspective is different.
Quite honestly, if I really have to dump 300$ – 600$ on a mmorpg, I’ll still be playing Atlantiac Online. That is another of Nexon’s game. I wouldn’t be playing GW2. That’s all I’m saying.

I think the developers of GW2 are trying to subtly remind some players that the game is best enjoyed when you aren’t playing compulsively. They stated many times that they built this game with transcendence in mind. It’s here to survive the test of time, not fall out of flavor. What’s the big hurry? Stop trying to rush for items by doing the same boring thing over and over, especially if you’re doing it inefficiently (making 5g/hr doing your CoF runs). That’s bound to leave you feeling like you’re wasting away while farming for stuff.
^ That is the nice way of saying it. The evil way of saying it is Anet is doing what every mmorpg company is doing. Make goals so unreachable because they don’t have the resource to make enough content to keep people playing.
GW2 is NCSOFT via ArenaNet, not Nexon. Nexon does own 15% of NCSOFT however but 15% does not buy anyone controlling interest.
We are heroes. This is what we do!
RIP City of Heroes

And I apologize for viral marketing a Nexon game on NCsoft forum.
