I have fun both playing and farming. Now that I think about it, farming is playing in a sense ... it is taking place within the game itself.

I play for fun, and get rewards the same time.
I also hunt titles.
But at the moment I don't play too much anyways.

Playing normally often nets you more cash than most people realise. I ran an experiment a little while back - one of those which many people feel compelled to do once in a while. I began a new character, and only spent what I made - I didn't touch storage. By the time I'd finished Factions and got three quarters of the way through Nightfall I had enough money to buy one of the less expensive sets of elite armour (by that I mean elite armour which doesn't require some of the more expensive materials such as Amber, Rubies or Deldrimor Steel).

Now, if each character has the potential to earn that kind of cash purely by playing, I see no reason to farm purely for cash. Farming for Green Weapons is a different matter, if there is one you really must have.

Beaver...you can play and get cash for a set of elite armor. That set of elite armor costs....let's say 90k including materials. 90k doesn't get you much along the lines of prestige items. You'd have to dedicate time for a bunch of different characters playing through all three campaigns and EOTN to get what one might consider a prestige item, such as a rare mini, or an obsidian edge, or even a voltaic spear. Just examples there. Alternatively, you could take one character to a farming location and spend a fraction of that time, and earn the same amount of money. Simple GPH of assassin keg bombing during a weekend event can and will get you a top shelf weapon or a midrange rare miniature (mad king, rabbit, black beast...etc). The advent of these new campaign books makes the monetary gain of running characters through campaigns higher, but it's still not on par with the more efficient farming runs in the game.

Farm for holiday collector trade-ins, occasionally for a green or a particular skin I want, for title points.

Play the game - slowly! - and gradually getting all of my characters through all the missions. Skipping most of the quests lately, unless they actually serve a useful purpose (skill reward, unlocking secondaries, "Building the Base", -50hp icon) or just happen to get done while I'm doing something else. I've only "finished" all of the missions on one character. I've partially finished stuff on about 16 more characters, to one degree or another, so I've got plenty of "just play the game" left to do.

Money - Between Halloween item farming & playing through the game with full H/H groups I think I've made around 300k selling junk drops in the last month, month & a half. That's all from merching/salvaging junk drops and a few minor sales (none over 5k) to other players. I see no reason to farm for money.
