Guild Wars 2

It’s a matter of you valuing your time. Overwatch you can commit to a 5 minute game and leave when you want (just don’t leave every match you join because eventually you incur penalty on exp). GW2 like any other mmos is grindy at its best despite all dev’s opinions on reducing grind.

Think of it this way
OW = have life commitments? no problem
HoT = no life commitments? no problem

@SkyShroud Yes, and that means that ecto prices will drastically drop, which will affect those who don’t do AB. If it won’t then people who don’t do AB multiloot, because they -very logically- find opening chests for 15min boring will get behind in gold compared to those who do AB multi-loot, and this affects others too since their gold value will decrease compared to those who make 40gold in this 20 MINUITES! Which is 120gold an hour if you only log in 3x a day to loot AB…. And that is INSANE. (yes, many ppl told me on map chat they get this amount -40gold – by one meta event… JOKE.

Say for these people donate a lil’ of their luck, because you normally don’t get even near of this amount of gold per Octovine phase.

Ectos don’t have 100% drop per salvage, sometimes you lose coin salvaging if you’re unlucky, even multimap looting you need to be really blessed to get more than 20 ectos.

You will get lots of things without TP value like milling stones, masterwork runes and sigils, untradable ascended mats, auric slivers… Crafting mats you get lots of T5 common mats that only leather and wood have any real value – if you’re luck you get like 5 orichalcum/ancient wood… Gemstones have drop too random, can get 10, can get 0, and all of then have around 30s EA price, including Black Diamonds that was 1g+ before QoL patch. If you get any Exotic gear most of time are ones that have almost same price as a rare item – usually you get 1 exotic per day.

And the most important: to do this farm you will need do the events at the map during the pilons phase. You will not get enough currency by the chests alone, even with the keys earned by the daily chest. 30 keys per map to open everything.

Silverwates will give more money per hour if someone really wants to farm there (and can get ascended gear), but most people don’t want to stay there anymore and they really want to play with that poor lv48-54 alt.

I think anyone who does AB will agree that it’s fair because we participated in it initially to save up the kitten keys therefore we have the right to get to loot multiple instances. Anyone who thinks it is unfair misses the point. Lol please stop.

Well this is not as ridiculous sounding as the other thread but still makes me giggle.

Congratulations for getting rich by either pressing 1 or F for hours straight Qasa. I hope you feel accomplished with this really challenging method of acquiring gold.
Oh, and thank you very much, but my wallet is just fine with normal playing, and more skillful ways of farming. But I rather enjoy the game, it’s a game not work after all
Would be nice tho if gw2 would reward skilled players with other farming methods, where the reward is increasing with the players skill, but this mmo is made for ‘casuals after all…’ I like the game, just the farming part is bothering me, some mmos make farming hard and enjoyable too.

@danielrjones
Yep… Most players farm the best gold/hour way, even if its pressing one button for hours….

Wow OP, I’m sorry if you think that way, then by your previous post you don’t really know anything There’s an LFG for Raids if you are so hellbent on skillfull farming

OP can look at his pitiful gold while the rest of us get rich.

SW. if you are on the guild maps at the beginning of the meta please pay attention to the rotation. Throw it off course and It completely ruins everyone’s loot rate.

After doing t4 molten pre-opened with a nice party setup, it feels like a joke compared to t3 molten due to the not having the Afflicted instability. Now Im 2 levels away to unlocking t4 dailies.

Very kittening when people leave after few failed attempts. Specially kittening when one starts yelling and cursing at the pug for being kitten bad. My last successful daily was a kitten fluke when one member gave up the last minute and the molten berserker never regened giving the rest of us the opportunity to respawn midfight. I bet 1 out of 10 random pugs can complete this legitly. I just want to unlock T4 dailies but it’s taking too kitten long. #endrant

Join a guild sponsored sw event map in LFG where everything gets farmed efficiently as possible. You wont even worry about shortage in shovels.

SAB w1 trib runs the rest of the day after getting off work.

Map exploring and skipping trash on thief is the fastest ever of any class with perma swiftness on Unhindered Combatant trait + shortbow 5 + Channeled Vigor

Could’ve prevented it by inviting yourself to a squad assuming the map is still not full. Best insurance you can ask for until Anet does something about it.
