You should use the search feature, although I am guilty of not using it in the past, so I'll let you off (I have no power...). There are some very good threads on how to farm efficiently, maybe you should check those out.

One thing I've never understood is this whole completely over-used term "nerf".

Had they actually took your chests, or monster drops and lowered them to a ridiculous level without any change or a lessening of the monster quality, making it all soft and squishy so to speak.. I would have called that a nerf.. .

Had they just made the monsters tougher or a little easier and left the drops alone.. within reason.. or made broken monsters operate at the proper level.. I'd call that a balance.

If everything gotten stronger, with better drops all around.. I'd call it a "buff" if anything.

WHat the OP is complaining about..is a quirk in the spawn table.. nothing more. and if a single, low level, and obviously out of place monster is "ruining" his experience.. he has issues beyond farming.

Other than that is would just be nice if as a concensus, people would find more appropriate terms to use besides "NERF" for changes that we don't like. THe term has been completely over-used and almost pointless.

No no no, farming is evil thou shall not farm!!! Gold must just spontaniously generate out of mussat tokens.

Vhayr · Jul 02, 2005, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Wow, you really don't want to fight for your gold (literally)? Umm...yeah. I'm out.

Is it just me or do they totally bend you over and have their way with you when they enforce that EULA? I bet they could bust into my house and maybe steal my PC and it'd probably be legal according to the EULA. They pretty much own you when you agree to that EULA.

And failing miserably might I add.

I never said I don't sell stuff.

But I don't go out into the fields and sit there for hour upon hour and then whine because I didn't get that exact golden drop that I've been looking my entire life for.

You agree, they can enforce the rules however they like, doubting on the breaking and entering though, that would be ludacris. However, you openly agree to it, so if you break it, you deserve to be bent over to their punishment, because you agreed to follow the rules, and thus didn't, you have no say whatsoever in how they enforce the rules. But this is off topic of the main OP's complaint...

No, they own your account, nothing more.

It's not even written in legal speech so I don't know why it's so hard to understand.

To say they 'own you' is ludacris. They own your account, and your $50.

And if one ice golem is preventing you from killing things, well maybe you need to re-think your build.

They aren't hard.

What is so bad about farming in a game where gold is really quite unimportant ?

Narcissus · Jul 02, 2005, 10:26 PM // 22:26

The ice golems that spawn there arent even the lvl 22+ ones. They are the level 10 Ice golems merely meant to snare people trying to run through.

And take a look again, there are random mobs that spawn all over Tyria. (mostly to deter people from running through areas rather than fight)

Dreamsmith · Jul 02, 2005, 10:28 PM // 22:28

OMG! A random monster has appeared in my path, the area is nerfed!

First, they made it so treasures were actually guarded by monsters rather than lying around for the taking, now their making the monsters more random. The grind is killing me! ARGH!

Why not just give us a map with thousands of piles of 1000 gold and all the weapon upgrades and runes scattered around to be picked up, guarded by those Aloe Seeds like in front of Ascalon City at the start of the game? Okay, maybe the Aloe Seeds would make it way too much grind. Put in a few of those friendly spiders like in Duke Barradin's vineyard. I don't see what's wrong with farming, why do they have to make it so damn difficult? Bah...

I honestly don't see the problem.

And no I'm not gonna change to a 'more informed decision' as this decision of mine has had several years to form and I do believe I've made my decision as to my stance on farming.

If someone can't farm then what is there left to do when you've finished the game?

If someone can't kill a lvl 10 monster, what the hell is he doing farming in south shiverpeaks?

I mean, there's a random monster - what's the problem? Did it mess up the script or what?

Underworld, Fissure of Woe, and the assorted PvP arenas are left for you to do, and if those don't appeal to you, you could always start another character.

the only problem is, once you've made 4 characters, it becomes difficult to delete one, and you quit playing the game.

The most obvious obstruction to stop farming that I've seen (and probably, also the most hillarious), was in Riverside where the pathway used by some friends of mine to farm was blocked -- by a huge tree. It wasn't there, then after one of the updates, a wiiiiiide and tall tree sprouted out of nowhere. Haha.
