everytime you reveal a good spot, it gets nerfed! let the people here that dont know about the spots be creative enough to think for themselves! its not so hard to find it out yourself, just go out and kill some enemies, and see which ones drop good items in which location and on a regular basis and there you go!! i found a farming spot where i get 1,5k in 5 minutes, and hell no, im not gonna tell you where it is, or else it will get nerfed!!

if you find a place (in real life) were there is gold or a treasure, are you gonna tell everyone, so that it will be gone in a short time, or keep it to yourself and keep the treasure for yourself?

think about it, before you reveal a secret that is meant to stay secret...

What happened to free share of information. It's what the internet is all about right? Or has that changed recently and I wasn't told?

Sure, there are some people who think just of themselves, in real life or in a game... but fortunately there are more often people who are unselfish and want to share the good times with others.

Who are you to dictate what is and is not meant to be a secret in this game?

If everyone lived in their own little instanced world, hell yeah I'd tell them where it is in theirs.

With chapter 2 weeks away, and a new economy of farming and items being implemented who cares. All these items will be next to worthless anyways with all the new skins and dual mod collector wands etc.

Personally I don't care any longer if the uber spots are nerfed again. Everything has been nerfed several times already since the game's release. Might as well give some people the opportunity to make a little bit of gold or get some nice drops to start chapter 2 with. Why be greedy it's a video game.

Now when chapter 2 hits, and people get farther in and find the new great spots to farm, people arent going to be giving up their honey holes...this will hold true until some jerk tries to sell it on ebay in a "guide." Once it hits ebay in a guide I guarantee spots will be leaked very soon afterwards, then the nerf bat will be swung on us all once again, and again and again.

There's really not much left to do in this chapter but sit and wait for the next part.

If information is public, a person should not be impeded in finding it.
Say you've won the lottery. You don't want the details to come out. Do you want to log on to see someone announcing it? No, of course not, because you'll have relatives coming out of the woodwork wanting money!

There is a difference between public and secret information. Lottery winnings might be secret. So might the details of a breakup. War of the Roses? Public. Chinese (real China, real farming, not GW) farming conditions? Public. Dubya's latest speech? Public.

Uber farming spot? Secret.

Et voici.

Oh I understand perfectly. Griffon farming wasn't nerfed because everyone knew about it. It was nerfed because of the ridiculous amount of bots involved in it. Real players have a tendancy to have a few different farming spots.

The concept of a honeypot farming spot died out months ago when people farmed drakes in Gates of Kryta and Tengu in NKP and Tears of the Fallen.

Who pee'd in the OP's Frosted Griffon Wings (tm) this morning?

Anet keep track of how goes where and wealth of players. They will spot any farming spots or follow the bots (there good at finding them).

Unless a forum has policy of certain topics to make it a no no it will be free flow of information. Best thing is to not tell anyone and hope someone else doesn't find and wants to share to the world.

True, but then again, it's up to the person. If they discover the spot and feel they should announce it to the community, it is their right to do so. Likewise with lottery, you can announce the details of you winning it, or of your breakup.

What he's asking is not for people to stop trying to pry into things but for people to stop sharing information they have every right to.

GranDeWun · Apr 12, 2006, 11:35 PM // 23:35

ANet doesn't rely on forum posts to detect farming, they just look at their logs.
