So this is basically a rant against bot farmers

Its not rewarding those who can do an area with less player, wich usually take more skill and challenge to do.

I won't call it a bad idea, but think there are better ways of fixing our current in-game economy.

(And I really hope future PvE will be more about fun.. and not how much gold you can make...)

I really wish people would get their facts straight before starting threads like this.

Prices are actually dropping.

Greens are so easy to farm (my guildmate makes solo green farming his favorite hobby). Golds are so easy to farm for. Chest running is rampant.

Only the super rare stuff like Crystallines will probably be the only ones that never drop in price because they only come from high level chest like FoW (purples) or from HOH. Stuff like dwarven axes and such remain untouched.

Everything else is pretty much stable and actually affordable.

Remember when a non-perfect chaos axe would get you quite a lot of money? feh...people look at 14% as thrash now. .-.

ROFL, pass the marshmallows please!
Seriously, while I don't like farming, soloing should not be punished. While its good and fun to be in a group, sometimes you just want to go play by yourself. A better solution could probably be found to affect solo farmers without hurting soloers, but Anet doesn't mind them (farmers)at all. They've put some restrictions in place so that certain places can't be constantly farmed, but other than that they've moved on to more 'important' things.
Go read the thread 'The Haves and Have nots' by capitalist(I won't try to link it cause i'm tired). Its one of several threads on the economy, and makes a very good point.
You have to work hard to get what you want(i.e. rare skins) but its easy to get what you need(non rare skins that do the same damage, etc.) Its all in the attitude of playing the game, not the game itself. Ever heard the saying, it's not whether you win or lose, its how you play the game? You made some interesting and well thought out points, but I think you need to look at this from a different angle.
