Guild Wars 2

Theres a number of issues.
A few days ago I was doing invasions we won 80% of them, I would either

A) champ farm and get about 30-40 bags a run.
B) do the event normally, just go wherever was needed and get 20-25 bags a run + the beat scarlet reward.

This was fine at first as most invasions we won.
SoS today lost 4 invasions in a row including Gendarren Fields (one of the easiest zones)

I just simply wanted my “kill scarlet” bonus 2 rares for the day, the difference between champ farming and trying to win a few days ago was only about 10 bags so compare 10 bags to 2 guaranteed rares, I’ll take the 2 rares.

Unfortunately now I can’t try to complete the event normally like I used to, now instead of going wherever I’m needed, I’m forced to only do clockwork minions.
for the last 3 runs I have accrued a total of 10-15 bags per run this was trying to only do the minions.

Farming is beginning to hurt the invasions a few days ago the majority of invasions were won, over the last 2 days however the win rate has dropped dramatically as there are more and more farmers.

The issue is even trying to do the event normally and trying to win is resulting in LESS profit than when the farmers were actively farming.
I have seen pirate captains sit on 25% health for 10 minutes as noone hits it hoping for more spawns.

I have seen a failure on Aetherblades when they were the 3rd wave with 32 minutes on the event clock to go (we didn’t even reach scarlet)

Winning still helps with 1 simple thing, those bonus 2 rares per day, honestly this farming feels like its becoming stupid.

I know a player shouldn’t tell other players HOW to play, but farmers are actually being a detriment to those who are trying to complete the event, they take the most profitable portion of the event and those who want to complete it are forced into the least profitable sections.

Unfortunately the only way to win with the farmers is to focus on clockwork minions.
