if it is a total buyout to have them forever then 10k would be fine if it was for example cynn.... to have all forms of her in all campains if you buy her in one area sure and make heros cost more becuase if people are like me they use the same heros in most places

While I'll admit that the idea of being able to get all the drops in a full hero/hench group is attractive, this would be the last nail in the coffin for pugging or any other form of "grouping with others".

Like it or not, GW is a multi-player game. If you don't like to group with others then the heroes and henchies are there to help but they take a cut just like your human companions would.

Alliance Chat:
Guildie 1: Hey, we're planning a tombs run tonight starting at 8pm.
Guildie 1: If you're interested meet in GH at 7:45.
Guildie 2: Sounds like fun, i'll come.
Guildie 3: Nah, I'd rather go with a full hench team. I don't like having to share my drops.
Guildie 4: Me too. i'm already in tombs. I don't wanna group with real people. It hurts my drop rate.

<Event canceled. 10 guildies went into tombs with 10 full hero teams.>

Pretty much my thought. I am not going to repeatedly buy out my heroes (who do not give anything to me for equipping them with weapons, better looking armor, etc) in order to get their drops. They already owe me money.

There is already a system that discourages low party member number parties.
It's called Lootscalling.

Discourage solo/duo farming?
Dumbest idea ever.

If you don't like solo/duo farming then play with a party. Don't be a killjoy for people who do enjoy it.

Yeah, I agree with Raven

This is a multi PLAYER game, no way in hell is ANet going to do something to encourage people to run off by themselves and forget about rell peole.

Wait. lemme refrase, ANet not going to do SOMETHING ELSE, since they invented Hero's PUGing gets much rarer everday, now you wanna add this and completly destroy anyreason whatso ever to use other people?

If I roll out with a couple of people and they get a couple good drops what am I gonna then, I'm gonna say? "eff you guys, I'm outta here to go buy out my henchies and run this myself" Just like Raven described.

No kidding. I thought the game was designed for people to group with people, to be social and cooperate with one another. Solo Farming, as well as grouping only with Henchmen/Heroes, is antisocial behavior. I wouldn't encourage it.

Now, looking at it from the other side, did you consider that maybe the Henchman/Hero doesn't want to sell you his share of drops. Maybe he wants to sell them to one of his henchie buddies when he goes back to town. I mean, there might be some henchman monk looking for a totem axe for their 55 build too.

In all seriousness, if you want all the drops, play a character profession that can solo.

Farming fails, but this doesn't seem like a good alternative. /notsigned

I like the idea of being able to dual farm every now and then. I dont do it often, but its fun to try new build ideas. Plus I have yet to see an area other than UW where you make 10k in a run to make up for that. Hell some areas even in HM you barely could cover 1k loss.

no thank you but thanks for trying.
