Hey peeps Its a me

I have 2 questions that needs to be answered to satisfy my curiosity. Question number 1
Is raptor farming the 'best' way to quickly earn many party/sweet items.
Question number 2
Do you agree with me when i say that the GW staff is promoting raptor farming for special drop items? (Gaile event surian bones the main drop from rap farming could be traded into for party items is this a coincidence i think not

)

Those are the Qs plz answer and post ur ops

well if buy party/sweet items you mean items such as cup cakes and items such as that they get dropped by evrything so i like to go to where lots of low level monsters and kill them in the masses. but items that you have to collect and trade well if a certain monster drops them and its only that monster i think its more of a coinsidence than anything

The collectors at the going away party collected items from just about every farmable spot in the game. Anet knows where ppl farm

I do raptors HM for the bonus of non-sweet drops (golds etc).
And if they wanted to nerf it, they could just give a monster touch skill that deals damage if target is enchanted.

Ty for the answers so far but what i wanna no is WHY? why do Anet allow this farm i can make 300k in a day if i put my mind to it. I suppose A net could quite simply not care about the fact that peeps are making a ton of easy cash. It makes little sense to me because they have nurfed so many other farms and the overall huge nurf of the loot scaling....

Fried Tech · Apr 25, 2008, 01:32 PM // 13:32

loot scaling was the last nerf they did to a farm that i can remember.
after that what else do they need to do? I mean damn

N1ghtstalker · Apr 25, 2008, 02:02 PM // 14:02

Because people farming are also people playing their game and might just be the people buying GW2.

To be honest, I don't remember the latest 'farm-nerf'.

N1ghtstalker sorry to sound like a jerk but you are doing it wrong then

if you have a Ele then the raptors are the fastest way to farm event items

there is a build that can kill the boss on HM and min. 20 raptors in about 50seconds

and event items dont count in lootscaling so you can farm that cave till you flip

as for me I am finally asura rank 10 so I can quit that cave and go back to farming vaettirs untill I max my Norn rank (16K points to go)

Darkobra · Apr 25, 2008, 03:48 PM // 15:48

Loads of lockpicks, a few gold elemental swords, assassin tomes and claws of the broodmother galore.... The cakes are just the cherry on top.

ShadowsRequiem · Apr 25, 2008, 03:56 PM // 15:56

I prefer to kill dragon moss instead of raptors XD

Well the elemental swords are split between all my warrior friends while I kept one for myself. Always wanted one.
