Guild Wars 2

There are alot of hardcore gamers out there who like/enjoy to farm for countless hours on monsters and gain money, and ofc there are players who like to cheat their way to getting money aka ( botters).

But why should we Hardcore gamers be punished for others sins?

We all know there is a HEAVY Anti-Farm code in Guild Wars 2 like there was in Guild Wars 1.

For example.. say i farm the same monsters in Frostgorge Sound for 15-20 minutes and i have a stable drop rate with.. im not lying now but 150 % magic find. I might gain a couple of Yellows, a few Masterwork and alot of Rare and salvage items.

But what happens after those 15-20 minutes? You hit the Anti-Farm code measure which is in my opinion a pain in the *. Now that we are past those 15 minutes we can barely get any loot anymore and have to Logout or stand afk for how long? Usually about 30 minutes to an HOUR Before we can start farming again.

ArenaNet Please make a statement about this issue since this is making the game not so enjoyable for some of us.

Also if you manage to read this post please make another Statement about magic find % and if there is a cap.

Seconded. Bad form to impose measures that hurt loyal players but are only a minor inconvenience to those bent on breaking the rules. They will find a way around it, while the rest of us are still screwed.

This hasn’t changed from the first GW. ANet doesn’t care if you’re a bot or a real player, farming is frowned upon.

So they want me to come upon a bank filled with jute one day weeks down the road instead of taking a few hours and dedicating it to get the mats I want so that I can craft the way I want?

My only problem is the diminishing returns on dynamic events. Considering dynamic events are a large point of the game, what is the point of making them less effective?

i find your use of the term “hardcore” amusing, but i digress.

farming is obviously something they don’t want in the game, and that’s why the anti-farm code is there. bots get banned, not punished with code. but players found creative ways to farm in GW1, despite the measures, and ANet never tried to stop those new ways.

so instead of complaining that the game is working against you (which, in this case, means the game is working as intended), try and find a creative way to farm. hell, you don’t have to be creative. just move to another zone.
