Guild Wars 2

These posts are hilarious. Yup, the whole game is ruined because of one event.

It’s not like most of the “farmers” have a very misguided approach to this game overall or the fact that plinx was not the only place to farm. Shocking, I know.

A lot of people enjoy farming gold in games, its really not a new concept to an mmo. For those people, taking away the one chain that yields actual reward for time spent is very disheartening. Other events are far less profitable and a huge waste of time.

So Plinx was the only way to get money right? I guess my 2 sets of exotics + weapons + 40 gold in the bank must have been a gift from the gods since I rarely went to that place…

Anyway, just wait a few days, I’m sure some other event chain will turn up to mindlessly farm for “fun”. If the level 55+ maps get appropriate level rewards, maybe something even better comes up.

How could someone think that being constantly in a 30 men zerg where you cannot even see the mobs spawn before they are nuked is fun is beyond me.

While Plinx makes it easy to get exotic sets, its very easy to do without it. Plinx was for those who wanted to see the gold count rise and rise and have mats in the bank just cause. There are people that enjoy this part of the game, so whether you understand it or not is irrelevant.

All that aside, without Plinx, getting a legendary is going to take even longer.

Wait … Plinx was fun? Have I missed something?
For me, it was the most tediously repetitive grind imaginable following one guy around spamming auto-attack to get a few hits in before things died.
Sure, you get decent rewards, which was why people did it, but it was not even slightly fun.

Then this nerf has nothing to do with you does it?
Not everyone thinks as you do and not everyone wants to be forced out into the wider world of terrible DE’s with tiny rewards for time invested.

Plinx was a bot haven? You sir have no idea what you are talking about.

Orr is unenjoyable because the events are not enjoyable.
Dynamic events lost their charm very quick and at least Plinx gave us something for efficient karma + gold. Now there is nothing but wasted time. Let me know how those unpopulated DE go in Orr because I am willing to bet nothing changes even with this nerf.

This was meant to break up plinx farming and spread people out, but now it feels like all I am doing is wasting a huge amount of time when plinx is on cooldown.

Plinx nerf was a terrible nerf. Bad move anet, bad move.
