....Thanks Andrew. But I kind of wonder.

Is it REALLY true that you don't know that we're using it to FARM? REALLY?

The Great Al · Jun 08, 2007, 12:29 AM // 00:29

andrew - people were upset, at least in some areas, not because they couldn't HM the challenge quests, but because they couldnt HM the explorable areas outside the challenge quest towns...nice to know that'll be put back on, though.

Sorry for the trouble, it should be fixed soon!

I'm not at home to see what is/was going on, but from reading this thread I became confused.? People are mentioning not being able to LB farm in response to the non-hardmode challenge mission, Remains of Sahlahja. Andrew says they weren't aware of farming going on in the challenge mission and they'll fix. ?? The LB point farming is in Sulfurous Wastes. So people aren't able to enter Sulfurous Wastes in HM then? That is what needs to be fixed then huh.

Anet don't play the game, they just nerf the shit out of farming because it's fun. /sacrism

But seriously, they knew, just need a "reason" to un-nerf it.

Hey Andrew, thanks a lot for that. Very much appreciated. I will max out my lightbringer and sunspear titles eventually!

But damn, at least they did something to it. I'm totally suprised that they touched FA at all.

Have to agree with you there, and what about the Luxon players able to lure out the Juggernauts way beyond where they are supposed to be at.

GloryFox · Jun 08, 2007, 12:58 AM // 00:58

LOL... I made a bet with a friend that they will nerf how people farm SS and LB points so did I win or not?

You should see the anger in the Remains of Sahlahja it was great!

It was quite a sight! I wonder how many will rage quit who don't read the forums.

You cannot honestly say that you guys did not know that. Whatever the case, I am glad you guys are putting it back. Thanks

WOW! Great.
I was almost going to rant and get myself banned

There's so much grind involved in ss/lb farming and i'm glad that Anet realises this.
It's the only realistic way to make decent progress in those titles and each run with 7 henchies nets less than 1k usually in my experience.

Yay for HM lightbringer farmers!

(ps, the tome drop rate sucks *wink wink*)

You didnt have to do anything. You had a choice. It was your choice to group and others solo. nothing wrong with that.

Before this thread completely derails into a farming debate... Closed.
