Farming issues

ArenaNet generally has a stance against farming. You can get money and drops by simply playing the game.

Not really. Since the early game a lot of changes have been made that led to open-world play taking a hit compared to certain types of farming. I wish you were right, but unfortunately, that type of gameplay doesn’t hold a candle when compared to things like endlessly running CoF or world-boss hoping, which ironically are more farming-like than trying to get certain mats to drop in specific areas.

Events in Cursed Shore are still one of the better ways to obtain loot without pre-made group events or similar, and there has been a lot of talk about improving Southsun/Orr’s loot to match the events. It might be a bit in a bit of a dry-spell right now, but give it a few weeks/months and I think that’s your best bet

Is this supposed to be a good news? No one liked them… and i can assure you that for lev40+ EVERYONE will be skipping these two. So this is just two additional fractals everyone will skip like they skip dredge/shaman/cliffside. GG.

Funny, I see a lot of people screaming about wanting those dungeons back….

like the kind of people who’ve missed these and want to try them now… No one that was doing them/done over 5 runs of each cares.

I ran them both over 5 times. I am very excited to see them return. You don’t speak for everyone so don’t act like your opinion is the be-all end-all of what the community wants.

oh but i’ve spoke to a lot of people about these two when they were available, no one liked them. on this forum im not surprised to see so much positivity about these two mini dungeons because most people here are fanboys who go crazy even if they add something as minor as a ONE new mini pet… Both of these mini dungeons are far from ‘fun’ or great.

Right we’re fan boys because we like something about the game we’re playing. lol Nice try.

Eh, you actually made me come out of lurking to finally post something, but you can’t brush this one off so easily. Every single post I’ve ever seen you make has been blind defense of Anet, without being willing to consider where other people are coming from. I’m not saying you’re wrong or that you can’t have that opinion, but just about all of your posts relate to trying to disprove any negative notions about GW2. As far as fanboys go, that’s a pretty big part of it.

In regards to this though, I’m actually happy to see their return. I wasn’t particularly active when the content came out, and wouldn’t mind a chance to experience. Even if it was negatively received for various reasons, incorporating already-created content that we wouldn’t otherwise see is positive for a lot of reasons. Wait to see how the final version actually plays out before automatically assuming it’ll hurt fractals and be unenjoyable.
