But Ulterion they didn't nerf the skills to nerf farming they did it for GvG balance. The fact some farms used it was just a coincidence. However I do know Anet likes to make it hard/time consuming to get gold.

You caught one of my 4 grammatical errors ever!

Sure, one farming build is less effective.

It is still doable. I've done it post update and it just takes a little more hands-on playing than normal.

What's wrong with Guild Wars being skill based? Truly, answer this question. Every skill nerf, it turns into a PvP vs. PvE debate (I am very guilty of participating and inciting). However, it remains, that the more a skill is nerfed, the more it falls on the player to be creative and skillful in his/her playstyle.

What is wrong with a bit of challenge?

If items and gold have nice drops but the drops decrease the more you farm, a bot can farm 24/7 and make a heftier amount of cash and a human can farm a few hours per day and make a hefty amount of cash. Just adjust the curve so that drops are great at the start and dramatically decrease the more you farm, to the point that after 5-10 hours of straight farming (something only a bot would do, or doing farming on and off to catch those that figure out to script their bots to take breaks and alternate) nothing drops at all for one business day before it is reset.

That way a human can make a good amount of cash in a human amount of time, and while bots can make slightly more, they cannot make a significant amount more.

This would only affect solo farms, since bots afaik don't come in teams.

God, you had to suggest it

Watch, it'll be the next big thing, Ursan bot teams everywhere.

The word farm wasn't even in my post... I just want to know what the previous poster thought it's about?

This game is a lot of different things to lots of people. It's just a pity that PVP is given massive priority over PVE during skill balances, considering 90% of the money made from the game is from PVE players, yet it is spent on PVP upkeep, while PVE players get the /fail canthan new year festival.
