Guild Wars 2

Wisteria.7802:

I was SO sick of everyone in cursed shore farming them two camps over and over. Like you’re trying to do Grenth and typing in /map for people to come… but theres 50 people camping shelt/pen for the events and they won’t leave because it’s too awesome. So doing things anywhere else on the map was like… impossible… I am GLAD its gone downhill, maybe now they will spread out and do the other events.

I agree it’s better this way (with caveats). My only concern is that it may make people spread out much further than just other events. They may spread out to other games.

You might say, so what, they’re just farmers. But they are also the ones supplying the TP with goods, which helps keep the cost down. Fewer farmers means price inflation, and I’m not so wealthy that this won’t potentially inhibit my progression in a big way.

At this point, I can’t say if these changes are really a good thing. But one thing I know for certain is that the loot tables STILL SUCK and defeating champions is still not worth the time or effort.

what you doing when you don’t farm?

I made few tries and found: I hate most of dungeons + they got nerfed too.
I can’t play WvW as I dc when many people are next to me (and if I’m alone I have nothing to do).
Exploration is done, even if it was slow, grind, not fun experience to me.
Make alts? Done few, very boring.

So what else to do if not farm?

are you saying everything in this game is boring aside from “farming”?
or are you saying you love farming in gw2 so you play it for many hours per week?

i didnt know such player as you existed.
now i’m all confused.

as a None farmer I only ever do one or two dragons at most a day ((if that)) and i never do the same one twice… I have gotten so manny rare’s the last 2 day’s its awesome

and way more fair to the none farmer’s

farmers can still “farm” now tha just need to move around more. stop being so lazy

There are two types of people responding to this post…farmers and not farmers.

Farmers are kitten because they can’t mindless run between two points and make bank. That’s how they want to play the game.

People who don’t get farmers don’t like what farming does to the rest of the game. I’m with those people. Farming isn’t something that’s your “right”. It’s not something you get to do. DR was added to stop people from messing up other people’s games. It has to do with inflation, it has to do with the marketplace price of certain items. It’s not just about your phat lootz.

Anet did what Anet has always done. Made it harder to farm, because farming is YOUR game, but it’s not THE game.

I hope this drives farmers away from the run. Of course, they’ll only turn up somewhere else, until that’s nerfed too.

Why can’t people just play the game?

I just lol’ed. DR is meant for bots. Also, clearly they want farmers. How else do you think people will get 250 of the same T6 mats without doing the same content over and over without the TP? Furthermore, farmers don’t always farm ‘mindlessly’; farmers do the content that is most EFFICIENT. There’s been many games that I’ve played where the ‘farming content’ was the most difficult part in the game.

farming content should require solid gameplay.

but as it was before, its cheap encounters.

and world boss, pretty, but, you can still dance and auto attack your way to the chest.
very menacing! roarrrrrrr!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when people complain about their farming spots being nerfed.

That’s so completely selfish it’s funny. These events had almost no chance of failing because of how trivial and camped they are. I’ve already seen shelters fail twice, which is refreshing.

It looked like a circus with all the people running back and forth between Penitent and Shelter.

I actually think they should increase mob HP when the event scales along spawning vets and champs. Mobs still die way too easily to all the mass AoE

^
agreed.

mass farmable events need almost dungeon level difficulty.
