1st let me explain how is it done so every body knows what are we talking about:

Everybody goes to one tower in ower case at Yellow tower. ~ 50 ppl or more (full map)
everybody does the defend event and many ppl will get shovels to dig up the chests in the area. So we all open the chests on cooldown. And this is it. When the meta is full we kill the boss and we goon farming chests.
The point is if you have all ppl doing it. You will have more shovels than you need. + You get bandid crests from chests and events so You have endles supply of keys.

it is the best and most proffidable farm so far that I know of.

so pls nerf it but dont kill it it is highly addictive and I like the new map and I’d like doing it, doing dungeons, fractals and more

one possible solution:
remove the bandit crest’s drop from chests so you will need to compleate events to open chests.
other solution can be to make defend events to drop a fixed amount of shovels so they don’t scale up whit ppl. for example 1lv defens gives 5 shovels to ppl that compleated it. 2 lv -> 7 and 3lv 10 shovels (one person can get more than one shovel if he compleated the event alone)
I’ve considered the increase of chest’s refill rate but it will only cause the zerg to change towers.

Eventually, this map will become less popular and you will be glad that these chests can be farmed.

“remove the bandit crest’s drop from chests so you will need to compleate events to open chests.”

If you finished all the achievements on that map, the chest farm is all there is left to do.

Don’t think this is a bug, more like a gift from ANET for once so we can make some gold.

Yup, it’s just a “shinny!” new map then ppl are kind of in rush to get everything. After a while it will become less popular and the most will move along. Take as example Dry Top, it had a huge farming and stuff at the beginning and now only a few are still doing that as far I know of. Also as others said, after completing achievements and stuff there won’t be much else to do there.
