Weathering the storm.... - Guild Wars Forums

Any real life farmer will tell you that occasionally a hail storm comes to wipe you out but you have to find a way to weather the storm. Same thing here. Regardless of your reasons for farming, you've been dealt a crushing blow via this latest patch so decide what your options are:

1. Complain about it: Very necessary for change to happen although somewhat overdone. Nevertheless, I would never condemn the complainers out there....ANet wants our feedback, well they're getting it and how!

2. Stop Farming: Not very likely. People have their reasons and they range from "strong to quite strong". Still, there are other facets to this game besides the acquisition of wealth/items/runes. You now have been blessed with the time to do other things (in-game or out). Look for that silver lining....

A. Suggestions: Start a new character, PvP, Capture Skills, Help the new guy, Help a fansite (community works everywhere)

3. Find the work-around: As with anything, the public always has the upper-hand. It's a sad state of affairs that ANet has started to wage war against its "agriculture" community but we've been told a peace treaty is in the works. Nevertheless, the holes in their "fix" do exist so find them and use them if the options above don't appeal to you. It just makes you part of an even smaller elite group if you can find a way to circumvent the system. Good luck.

Personally I have complained to ANet. I am also looking for better ways to get around this now, but I am not having much luck yet.
