Ranger = Play: Tyrian Cartography
Mesmer = Farm: Cryer Farm
Elementalist = Inactive
Warrior = Play: Canthan Guardian
Necromancer = Play: Helping People on NM missions when no one is around to help them out.

I tend to play more, though I should probably farm more. My only incentive for playing is that for some reason I always want to get some kind of new armor, which usually requires me going through a certain campaign.

That's not to say I don't farm though, I did nothing but farm during this year's Halloween event. By the time the event ends tonight I'll have over 5,000 Trick or Treat bags.

Well, while I farm I'm talking with my guildies, so "farming" isn't repetitive for me (unless I get tired of it. But I can get tired of vanquishing or doing coops in HM too).

Of course, if you farm non-stop, it can be too repetitive. But farming isn't repetitive for me...

I play. I never farm. The closest i've ever gotten is doing my LDOA. I guess that is farming in a sense, but trust me, after this I will NEVER farm again. It is soooooo boring.

Icy The Mage · Nov 09, 2008, 10:11 PM // 22:11

I farm. It's Fun. It's not Boring or repetitive. Carpal Tunnel FTW! Oh and I monk AB with D-Shot, ended up d-shotting d-shot yesterday, was pretty cool... And yeah... That's my story.

Konig Des Todes · Nov 09, 2008, 10:25 PM // 22:25

Things I do:

1) Talk to friends

2) Work on Titles/M.O.X. quests

3) Talk to random people

4) Run around in Guild Hall aimlessly for hours until someone I know gets on, then I do #1.

Seriously? not one hardcore farmer replied? Oh-- they must all be too busy farming. I've gotten extremely bored with guildwars for gameplay. I've got a monk with over 20M XP. Also a perma sin. I try all the new farms. I mainly just farm. all I do. I can't remember the last missions I played that I wasn't rushing through it to get to the end, to get a skill, to make a farming build.

Whats more important in GW than money? You can get anyone to help you to do anything, offer them in game gold. I find myself logging on and thinking "What should I do?" well.. "farm, what else?"

no one else finds farming the only thing left to do in the game? those people like me with over 3000hrs of gameplay?

Nessar · Nov 09, 2008, 11:21 PM // 23:21

I have over 5,6k hours in gameplay and still find things to do. Whether its vanquishing or helping out a friend, farming is a last resort for me. I dont need heaps of gold to just sit there and stare at.
Even if I'm not doing anything, I sit around and talk to friends. I usually almost find something to do in gw, that doesnt involve farming :P

Master Ketsu · Nov 09, 2008, 11:42 PM // 23:42

I grief. Does that count ?

as for me i farm and play get sick of one, do the other, if i want a new armour set for some character, i farm the cash. i've never been a trend farmer..(i.e. voltaic spear farm etc.) although i have hopped on the raptor train not for ele swords but for golds, mods, and ToT bags during halloween

Da Rk Bl Ad E · Nov 09, 2008, 11:47 PM // 23:47

I don't need money for anything...rarely PvE nowadays anyway

upier · Nov 09, 2008, 11:48 PM // 23:48

I farm survivors.
I play everything else.

But these days - neither is done often ...

Grenths Ire · Nov 09, 2008, 11:50 PM // 23:50

I do whatever new thing I read about at guru..... then I get bored and read guru...and the cycle repeats.

Scarn · Nov 09, 2008, 11:58 PM // 23:58

I turn on the computer and stare at it for hours on end without moving any part of my body. Does that count as playing or farming?

Cargan · Nov 10, 2008, 12:27 AM // 00:27

I play. I just come on and either start a HM dungeon run or tag along with a guildie to help with whatever they're doing. I may have done everything 100's of times, but it's not so much about what you're doing, more about who you're doing stuff with that makes it fun. I do farm on occassions when there's no-one to do stuff with, but that's maybe 1-2 hours a week at most since I stop whatever farming I'm doing as soon as a guild party is forming.

And yes, even after 6500 hours of playing GW I still find things to do. There's alway stuff to do. Sure, I get bored as hell when I'm doing stuff on my own, and usually log off again, but when there's a good group of people to play with the social aspect shines through.

Cale Roughstar · Nov 10, 2008, 12:36 AM // 00:36

I used to farm, not so much anymore. Now I usually PvP (does that count as play?) stand in spamadan or do chest runs (which count as play, since I do them for fun).

Age · Nov 10, 2008, 01:19 AM // 01:19

I play to have fun clearing an area with H/H as well as farm.It also avials me to talk to ppl on my friends list.

Vigorator · Nov 10, 2008, 02:04 AM // 02:04

I mainly just log on to talk with people now as i do other things (browsing the interwebs mainly)

Ocasionaly i will farm me up some stuff for the consumable titles that i have left but i never really play at all anymore... just farm me up some money when i am not sitting idle on GW talking
