Why not make rep collection like exp collection? If you aren't on the compass for the kill then no rep. Seems like a few who are able to exploit farming are gaining quite more than the paultry rep being aquired by the leechers.

If it isn't working like that already, it should.

Shayne Hawke · Nov 02, 2008, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Forcing people to actually do something to get a reward? Blasphemy! /sarcasm

I will take losing all options that runners have for farming faction for others and trade it for making leechers' jobs tougher.

Why not just nerf the need for EoTN rep all together?

Konig Des Todes · Nov 02, 2008, 10:28 PM // 22:28

While I don't favor grinding, the OP's argument, while poor, is logical in it's purpose.

I don't /sign just for reducing grinding, although it wouldn't affect grinding too much either way.

Anyways, -leaves before the rest of the trolls show-.

You mean like deleting PvE skills? /signed for that.

Also /signed for OP. There's no reason why you should be able to collect faction when you can't even see the kill.

Theres not wrong with REP FARMING,cuz i do it whenever i need(path to revelations,vanquishes,snowman and so on).
Now u're talking about rep farming through leeching,which is way diferent than rep farming,and i do agree it should be nerfed,even tho it doesnt really bothers me since vanquishing/books are 10 times faster

Taixen · Nov 02, 2008, 10:39 PM // 22:39

I personally don't see a problem with it, the people who chose to raise their titles in this way are more than welcome to imho.

As for exploiting farming, I'd rather do a whole load of runs sooner than spend 20 minutes trying to find 7 Leechers, then more leechers who will stay etc.

As has been already said, books are faster anyway so, /notsigned.

Why not wait until you see what Thursday's "title balance" brings before making suggstions about title changes?

But, yeah. People shouldn't be rewarded for doing nothing.

So with this said they should also nerf, running, 600/smite, people paying for titles afk.

It life get over it people we do the least amount of work possible to get what they want. If you chose to put your self above that its your choice personally I take every chance to make money off of people to lazy to do it themselves.

Titles are pretty much a joke anyways so what is the BFD how someone chooses to gain their reputation?
Either the long and easy way by dancing near the portal while another person kills raptors.

Or the faster and more challenging way which is to vanq/do books.

But either way a person chooses to gain rep has no affect on me what so ever so why should i care enough to have an issue with people leeching?

this just kinda seems like a pointless thread as rep leechers really dont impact the rest of us at all. the OP makes me think of a nosy neighbor. So ill just say this

stay out of my yard.

reminds me of a joke

there was this woman who called the police on her neighbor one day for exposing himself. When the police arrived they asked where the neighbor was when he was indecent. The lady replied "In his house. When you look out this window you can see him. He just sits in his house naked all day long. I can see him from out of my window." So the police officer looked out the window and said "I cant see anything." The neighbor replied once again "All you have to do is set this chair on top of this table and stand on the chair and you can see him"

im not good at telling jokes, but you may get the drift. The moral is: Dont go out of your way to be bothered by something and then complain about it.

You copied your arguments from some "I love Ursan" thread? The way of argumentation seems somehow similar....

I think there should be no need to farm any reputation whatsoever. If you did all the quests/missions you should have all rep titles maxed or nearly maxed. This whole rep idea is just to make people grind. I am looking forward for Thursdays update.

I think the OP idea will reduce the annoying leeching happening mostly in norn rep runs but will also affect the welcomed (by some) leeching in raptor runs. Anyway I do not like leeching at all. You want something do it yourself.

Still this is a completely different scenario than Ursan. Ursan jacked up the GW economy and crippled PUGs. Leeching really doesnt effect anybody but the party responsible.

One is an apple and the other is an orange.

You do indeed leave leechers behind. That was very smart of you.

Good idea for all retards that play ursanway with leecher over sabway

so /sign

carnage-runner · Nov 03, 2008, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Let the farmers farm.. They need to be paid. Let the leechers leech, they need to get some small fraction of rep. Pointless request as there are many other topics that warrent Anet's attention far more than this.

/sigh...

jaximus · Nov 03, 2008, 04:15 PM // 16:15

like ive said before, if you give people a grind free title, like suggested with many posts above and in similar threads, they lose interest in the game. would you keep playing a game where you had GWAMM just by playing through the campaign? no. dont complain about grind, it gives people a way to keep interest in a game.

think about this, honestly ask yourself, if they took grind away and just handed you titles, would you keep interest in the game?

Yawgmoth · Nov 03, 2008, 05:27 PM // 17:27

/signed

It's just wrong that rep can be leeched from anywhere, it should work just like exp. Removing leeching exploits doesn't make any titles more grindy.
All the rep titles are fine as they are now in terms of difficulty/time required, this is the only change I'd like to see (maybe an improved point gain rate for a rep title which you had already Max'ed on another char aswell, but that's not a must-have)
