Alright. Im going to be drawing alot of hate from this little speech and all i have to say is: bring it.
It is my opinion that farmers of ALL types are responsible for the downfall of guild wars. It is YOUR fault that Anet keeps laying down the nerfs. Face it. If it werent for the mass loads of farmers then there very well could..and probably would be: No nightmares in UW, better drop rates on all items, no nerfs on many skills, such as protective bond and spirit bond, monsters still might not even run from AoE, and im pretty sure this last AI patch wouldnt exist...this is just off the top of my head. Im sure im missing quite a lot. Now, i know all the agruments that are going to come: farming lowers prices, we have to farm to get money(totally not true btw), everyone does it, ect. But honestly...can anyone here seriously tell me that guild wars is a BETTER game because of farming?

Nice ... but pointless ... trolling ...

It sounds to me like you aren't any good at farming and are therefore bitter that you cannot make any money, or perhaps you're just annoyed by the AI, I don't know. Either way, you just gotta adapt. And what is this "Guild Wars downfall" crap? Last time I checked the game is still doing quite well.

Can you seriously say with a straight face that many of these changes mean anything to a non-farmer?

Nightmares in UW do nothing to a 'normal' build.
Spirit Bond is only now unusable for mass solo tank abuse.
Protective Bond is surpassable with warrior armor stacking.
Monsters flee from Firestorm, yes. Meteor shower, Spiritual Pain, and many favored AoE spells still work perfectly.

I also note the irony of how your complaint about 'low drop rates' is in your complaint about farmers. Unless you were a farmer, why would it matter to you? Especially as you say you don't have to farm for money.

Not even commenting on the AI patch... it's been flogged for a variety of points already.

Your overall argument is self-defeating. It is also something that has been brought up before, with no lasting merit. So as you say, this is just going to draw alot of hate, especially as you have nothing new to contribute to the topic.

Denying farming is like... no, dont feed the trolls.

I dont farm and thats probably why I got bored of Prophecies PVE after I finished it many times

many other people enjoy farming tho!
(as can be seen by the many AI threads)
