Ok, this is my first post and I need to vent badly

. This new loot sytem is ridiculous. I was just out messing around in arkjok ward in hard mode where i killed about 30 insects and several tusked howlers, just guess how many drops i received....TIME'S UP!! The answer is 3..a half digested armor, a insect carapace, and a crappy not-even-close-to-max blue scythe. How ridiculous is that?! I don't know, I think I'm going to take a long break from Guild Wars if they don't do something about this very very major problem

yeah with that kind of stuff, how can I afford the 1k for a skill?

Cool, I guessed 3

Did you have full henchies and heros?
Were you a warrior or Ranger?

LeetScythemaster · Apr 22, 2007, 04:43 AM // 04:43

I was playing my E/Me with a mist form/fire magic build...no henchies or heroes bc i dont enjoy partying. I was going to attempt it with heroes, but I got extremely frustrated. I've only really played guild wars solo and when I try to party, my group normally sucks...causing me to stick to soloing.

Ok as sum1 stated earlier this newly added HARD mode thats supposed to give us GREATER,BETTER rewards for our HARDWORK (pissoff!) all this did was add an additional way to irritate & piss us the **** off!

No rewards watsoever,i went out solo,w/ hench,w/ REAL people & hmmm imagine that,the same f***in thing over & over again!NOTHING drops but blue items,white items (WOO-HOO I GOT A 9-21DMG WHITE SCYTHE!!) HOLY SH** KNOCK ME OVER & CALL ME MARTHA!

I DEFINATELY sign this hott dayum thing in hopes sum1 will be removing (head from butt) VERY soon!

Ignorance is BLISS!

PLZ UNERF them. If you notice ppl cheat to get Gold then turn around and buy stuff then it's prices goes up.Then more people cheat.Afterwards Major Rune of vigor cost 35K.To put this in perspective.Dont nerf solo stuff or it makes it harder for people to get stuff and combat cheaters.Instead they get a bonus.The daggers I have now are worth 20-30K thanks to inflation and nerfing before hand it was worth 10K.

# Remove all Dying Nightmares from UW. These were only put there to demote solo farming. They are just an annoyance at this point and serve no valid purpose.

w/rt, rt/me, trappers and countless other builds arent even remotely affected by these things, they are nothing more than a bother for solo 55'ers, if your gonna stop people from solo-ing a place, do it properly, stop EVERYONE from solo-ing, not just the monk. And don't bother adding a "super monster skill" like you did in tombs, we proved that didnt work. *cough* solo sin *cough*

# Restore Protective Bond to a useable form. You've nerfed this into oblivion, again only to deter solo farmers because this was not a widely used PvP skill. Please put it back to the way it was.

since the nerf. I have seen 0 uses for this. seen 0 builds for it. seen 0 possible ways to use it in anything. Sure, it was powerful, but now, its more useless than Peace and Harmony (well, mabye only just as useless)

# Restore Bathazar's Aura back to a useable form. It should last 10 seconds like before, and it should have a 10 second recharge. Not sure how this would affect PvP, but I don't see alot of smite builds anyhow...

Sure, I have no problems with it as I have other skills, but if this was un-nerfed Id use it, but since it is, I never will.

In my humble opinion I feel that this update is a bad choice. I dont understand the reasoning behind this. Now if you want to buy decent armor or weapons you have to buy gold online and pay a rediculious price for them, because this is going to be driving prices up.

I do understand that the problem with the bots...but who cares. You are punishing all of us because of the bots!!! Most of us farm the gold and these green items to sell at market price and then buy our armor and whatever else we need. What about the players that arent in guilds or even the ones that are just starting out, theyre not gonna stay, whats the point?!?!?!? You cant make these Deep runs, and DOA missions with the base crap you get and it will be too hard to get anything else. There must be a diff way to stop these bots than making everyone suffer, I for one MAY never play again that may not bother anyone but for 3 years I have been playing in my spare time and made lots of friends and it sucks that this is happening cause I have a really bad taste in my mouth for Guild Wars now, I was soooo looking forward to GW2. Kinda pointless now.

/notsigned on Dying Nightmares thing

Dying nightmares are hardly a problem in the UW. There are many good builds that can counter dying nightmares and many builds don't even use enchantments (Such as the Rt/W build).

For the most part, Anet made solo farming profitable again. Besides the fact that you don't get as many crap materials or white items, everything is good. All it basically did was prevent the farmbots from amassing as much gold because they mainly farm for crap white items and sell them anyways. Green farmers and ecto farmers aren't affected nearly as much by this.

Farming is good once again, Smites still drop ecto at the same rate and now you can do a run faster than before.

Bots arent the only ones who rely on the mass crap white drops for gold. I dont know what im gonna do for a few quick plats now.

qucik plats... man this isnt a grinding game, so u need to play hardmode for slow plats... oh w8 wtf

On another note HERoES SUXX in Hardmode,specially the monks. THE ONLY WAY THEY MOVE is to telling them to. Ah, and they get brain freezes, and let u die if dont manually cast a Reversal of Fortune manually, cause if they dont have healing spells they cant use cheap protection spells to heal.

/Signed. The thought of griffons outside Augury is nostalgic. And I cannot think of any moment in time since it's nerf where Prot bond has been used. Except shared between 2 heroes.

=HT=Ingram · Apr 23, 2007, 01:03 AM // 01:03

Protective Bond was not nerfed because of farmers. If they wanted to nerf farmers they would have got rid of the -50 and -20 health items in the game long ago. fact in point anet wants farming bots. thats the only thing any reasonable person can derive from them giving in within moments to the farmers demands to NOT have certain loot scale for (real player) party sizes. As in not NPC henchmen or heroes. BUt a full party of Real players. Since the scale is allowing such abuses so soon, I fully anticipate Anet has no intention of ever removing exploit farmers from the game.

Protective Bond was nerfed because of its abuse in HoH and TA. nothing more nothing less. Farming was an incidental side effect.

Fact is it was not that great a skill to begin with as it was easily stripped, but no one ever took the time to realize this until much later in the game when ANET forced people to play other builds on occasion with their periodic nerfs. which I'm sure is more the reason nerfs happen then anything else. To keep the game interesting and fresh. And not fester down to the same builds forever.

Well, lets join the bandwagon to drive the prices even lower. Assuming at this rate, Ectos will be selling for a measly price.
