Guild Wars 2

What I like to do is run around Orr (mainly Cursed Shore), chaining events and killing mobs inbetween my favorite ones. However after only two cycles I notice a distinct reduction in loot, slowly getting to the point where I do not get any loots from an event anymore at all.

Now I know this is supposedly to prevent “botlike” behavior, however, I am no bot. Why are you telling me I’m not allowed to do what I’m having fun at? Why are you trying to push me to running Caudecus for the bazillionth time because that does not get reduced for each run?

If it’d be after 8 hours of chaining events and killing mobs I’d understand, however it’s kicking in with my SECOND run of the events already. After the third my drops are none existant anymore.

Come on, you cant be serious with that…

it’s just the anti farm code after 1 hr you will get less from everything. Answer is to run 50 min, rest 10 min and start over. Or just go somewhere else

Yeah, but I don’t like to be forced not to play. Why do I have to wait after an hour?
Anti-bot measurements should not affect a regular player. However this affects even people that do not play hardcore all day long.

What is wrong with playing the game and not forcing on 1 single part of it? even when your a regular player

Playing for 50 minutes and resting for 10 is good gaming practice anyway. Arenanet is just looking after your wellbeing and health ^^

Absolutely nothing is wrong with that. However I have the most fun farming the event chains in Orr, why do I have to be punished for doing so?
Everyone should be allowed to play the way he pleases.
I dont tell ArenaNet to reduce PvP rewards after 5 games either because they could be bots, so why should my style of playing be regulated?

A other sugestion I have for you is get a full MF armourset, that way your normal drops have a higher chance te be better and you can in theorie farm more there.

Farming is a kind of grinding, something Anet dont want with GW2, thats why you have trouble there

You see the anti-farming thing doesn’t impact your ability to gather materials, it doesn’t impact your ability to do events. All it really does is impact loot drops. I don’t disagree with the idea but I wouldn’t mind being informed of the fact.

Unfortunately drops are the biggest source of income.
Gathering materials is nice on the side, but once your drops are nerfed you won’t see much of an income until you rest and get rid of the loot-nerf…

But materials are also drops, and after I kill 15 mobs I start to getting no loot (except porous bones wooo) and as such, no crafting drops, hell, sometimes I’m happy if I get drops throughout the whole event (and yes, I have runes of pirate, magic food and explorer jewlery). What I find funny is how my drops are compared to other ppl I run with…they get kittenons of yellow drops whereas I get 1 per day, maybe (yesterday in 5hrs I got 0).

So yeah, if I can prove I’m not a bot (or something) I’d like to have drops all the time. It’skittenannoying for me to farm anything worthwile (for me or for selling) since it kicks in so early, hell, I even try to run around zones and kill different kitten, while other ppl say they stay in 1 area, killing 1 type of mobs, and getting kittenons of loots. Something’s fishy here.
