For the carol contest, does it have to be singable? Or can it be some kind of poem as well, like the one in the trailer?

Anyways, those where perfect for getting the offhand weapon master achievements, since they spawned in groups of 5 and went well with the recharges, and these maize farmers could have gone anywhere else. If they are not willing leave that spot for those who need it the most to do something that is even more tedious anywhere else and takes way longer, it’s better if no one has it at all.

What I don’t understand is why the desire for AP is more OK than the desire for gold/luck/drops or whatever people wanted from the farm. It’s personal greed either way you look at it. I don’t buy that going there for wpn master was somehow more OK than going there to make some gold. Greed is greed, whatever you desire.

Hello, ToT farmer here. I fail to see the need for this thread but since it exists I thought that I might as well tell the story from a farmers perspective. Yes, it was a toxic environment. Yes, farmers did curse and yell at random players. And yes, as much as I already miss it; It’s probably best that it’s gone.

But every story has two sides.
The reason that people got jumpy and quick to anger was that the random player jumping in and killing stuff with his/her lv 80 could just as well be troll number 155 within the last 30 minutes. I realise that this may be a thin excuse for bad behavior, but for a group of players who just want to farm in peace we had to put up with a lot of trolls. I understand why some farmers were quick to anger. I myself tried to remind them to take it easy, but I still completely understand their reactions. People would troll us for a variety of reasons. All from the ‘noble’ “I don’t approve of the game being played this way” to the “Hey, that guy said I was stupid. I’m gonna prove him wrong by preventing 15 other people to play the game the way they want. That’ll show him”.

If the game had some kind of private instance function, or even instance kick (just being moved from one instance to another with enough votes), this toxic environment wouldn’t have existed in the first place. Just a thought.

The bad behavior being admitted, I still don’t see why we deserved such hate.
If you were interested in ToT bags; join the farm (and yes, you would have been welcome if you just listened to the farmers asking you to bring a lv 1-3 character).
If you’re not intesred in ToT bags; the farm was of no harm to you.

All in all, I’m pretty darn impressed by the cooperation it brought. So many players finding a way to share a resource in a way that was profitable for everyone involved. Low level characters to minimize damage done and giving everyone a chanse to tag and get loot, and then donating either money or ToT bags to the Maizebalm thrower who most of the time didn’t get any loot. During the troll-free times it was a very low-key pleasant experience.

But as I previously stated, in a game without private instance maps, it’s probably best that it’s gone.
