Anti-farm - Guild Wars Forums

Hi, I have a question about the game's anti-farming system. Just yesterday I discovered my first farming area, gate at Nolani. I always entered solo, set some traps, opened the gate and mowed them down with barrage, then collect loot and quit. But after cca 10 retries a help tip appeared saying that if I do that, monsters will run out of loot. And they really did :-)
So the question is - is this permanent? Am I done with farming Nolani start? Or does it reset somehow?

I don't think so, just go off for awhile and play around. If you farm the WHOLE map that doesn't happen. It should eventually reset.

if you COMPLETE a mission, it'll reset

Oh, OK, gonna have to do it again then... How does this work with regular zones (non-mission)?

It was an update back in June I think (I'm playing GW for 3 weeks). Some farming bot accounts were deleted, some precautions were taken and it also caused a problem for some players farming "legally":

Fixed issues with last week's update that could cause loot drops to completely stop for some players after repeated map entries, and substantially improved the loot system so that only the most extreme forms of farming will cause monsters to start to run low on loot.

Oh well, I guess my Nolani gate farming was that most extreme form of farming
