I too hate the changes to the trading post. id rather default to selling the stack instead of having to slide that bar over and over again. I hope they fing away to make that window more responsive and user freindly. after this last patch the TP has become something of a timesink.

I did not complete the living story because of this bug. No one I know wanted to run that dungeon again. The “key maker” daily would have been my tenth point.

People are allowed to express their displeasure with an aspect of the game on forums. Who are you to jump all over someone and grief them.

I like the game and I would like to continue to enjoying it, but these mini temporary tweaks aren’t doing it for me either. I’d prefer actual new content in actual new locals.

Then dont play? No one is forcing you to stay. Maybe Farmville is better suited to your play style.

How have the farming nerfs affected you?

An unnecessary stab at people who do not share your vision of an RPG, perhaps?

Nope. A criticism on how players are responsible for some of the worst flaws in GW2.

I’m not going go to into how a farmer basically states that he’s no better than a Skinner rat. It wouldn’t bother me that much if it were just a matter of someone renouncing his humanity like that. It isn’t, though.

What farmers (and grinders, addicts and exploiters) have taught MMO developers is that there is no point in making a game fun. Fun is subjective – trying to make a given piece of content to be “fun” will, 100% of the time, result in something that some will like, and others will not. Making fun content is hard, too.

But do you know what is very easy do build? Grind. Just throw something players can kill over and over, give a shiny reward for it, and players will jump there. No need to actually work to make it interesting, farmers don’t care.

As a result, what updates do we get in Guild Wars 2? Improved storytelling? Better cinematics, like what we had seen in the original Guild Wars by the time of the BMP? Challenging content?

No, of course not. There is no point in any of that. Making repetitive, mindless content and throwing 200% Magic Find is enough to make farmers play until their fingers bleed. Who cares about good content? Grinders certainly do not.

MMORPGs won’t ever be great games, because the current community of MMORPG players don’t want great games – they want to revel in cesspools of grind.

No farming is not fun anymore; ArenaNet is definitely not catering to farmers. I used to farm CS and ML. The dynamic events were fun to farm before they were bugged to stay on all day. The freaky 200+% MF buff in SC wasn’t fun, because the drop rate still sucked and their wasn’t much to do except run around in a circle and kill karaka. Yes, escorting Plinx (sp?) in CS over and over again and defending the same two camps was fun for me and apparently many others who would show up for it. The lowered drop rates and scarcity of dynamic events made farming and killing random mobs in general less fun. I use to run WvW or dungeons (other than CoF) and then farm a little. It’s what I liked to do. Once a game company starts to screw with stuff that people like they start to turn people off. Seems ArenaNet has been on that path for a few months now. This was a play your way game; now it is not.
