im sorry but i disagree with some of you people.. you say that farming shouldnt be so nerfed but if it werent lets face it the games currency would be effected greatly... if you could still milk those giants for 50k in an hour gold would be on much less of a demand and who knows? maybe in a bit the currency would change because gold is too easy to farm for. either that would happen or you would need a lot more gold to buy your items you are searching for, so those 15k armors you are lookin for now would boost up to 150k armors :P

lets just all pray that this game doesnt turn into terrible currencies like it did in diablo 2 (effing ist runes/hr's/sojs!)

Yes, I don't want this to become Diablo II. But, the ist runes, sojs, and hrs all HAD a purpose. Acquiring lots of money in this game is really pointless. 15k armour is just as good as 1.5k armour. Ditto for FoW armour. Seems kinda odd though that Superior Vigor was 100k, but then they started nerfing and the price dropped to 35k from the traders. You can get (at least I got) the superior runes for a few platinum. Even with the nerfed farming you can earn enough for a superior rune as you casually go about the game, with the exception of Superior Vigor and Absorption (if you're a warrior).

It's just dumb how a lot of aspects in this game revolve around 'looking' good.

Think about it. I can get a plain old max damage long sword for a fraction of the price of a fellblade. Any difference at all in gameplay? No. Got a collector's shield with max defense, +45 health and -2 damage while in stance and I haven't seen one Eternal Shield that could match that. People will use crappy items just to look good, it's just dumb. And if you get one of these items that looks good with the godly mods... well, you'll be one happy camper.

dumb I think its great being able to look all badass....I like being able to customize my characters. I mean one of my biggest beef with FF11 is that your low lvl armor looks identical to your elite armors in a lot of cases. If im willing to put in the time to get cool looking stuff or dyes then so be it.

Yo yo yo . . . farming is all just for fun to me the drops are just a bonus! I can go out and take down a group of 10+ mobs that are lvl 20+, thats just fun! SO when i get like 10k + per hour of doing it and some Rare items those are just the icing on my cake. By the way the BEST place to farm at is just outside of . . .any city that a bunch of mobs spawn at, that way if you die you port back in, drop your DP and go back out to farm, thats if you insist on farming. Or you could always just fork out a couple of bucks and take yourself down to FoW or UW (Fissure has been having much better drops recently). When you do find your very own farming spot you DON'T tell the whole GW world where it is you keep it secret except for a few good friends! Well that's my two cents on the farming topic and the only important thing to do while playing Gw is to HAVE FUN ! ! ! ! !

Just my two cents for N00bs farmers like me:

1) Hunt mobs that have a stackable drop ie. scales, husks, etc.they are usually priced at 3g which adds up and only takes up 1 inventory slot
2) Trader those crafting materials, you'll fetch a much better price for them
3) Pick an area thats easily accessable to cut down time on bank runs
4) Be patient, as in life there are few "get rich quick" schemes that truely pay off
5) Take time to learn the economy, so you'll know if your getting a good price buying or selling
