I've never gotten a green since guild wars came out

, I must have some bad luck.

There are at least two greens in Factions that are always there in the same location everytime you go there...

They are the greens I have...

Drops seem to have "picked up" in the past couple months. Got my first gold bow a couple days ago

But now I cant find it. It was VERY early morning, I may have merched it

And some greens arent even that great

Besides, greens are ugly, cheap and newbish. They are not a good way to make money at all, nor are they status symbols. They're nothing to show off. If I see people wielding greens I just chuckle to myself at them for taking the easy way out.

Playing the game can include farming. It looks like someone else joined the Fun Nazi party, you know the one where they tell you that you are playing the game incorrectly, and therefore are ruining it for them or yourself or a combination of the two. Anet has also said repeatedly that they don't support professional farming but they have nothing against players doing it in game just to make some gold. http://www.guildwars.com/press/inter...e-friday61.php

There you go. Anet does not mind farming as long as the methods aren't abusive or unbalancing. As for greens, greens are great. Call them newbish if you like but it's an easy way to get an item with the stats you need for a reasonable price, either in gold or effort. I don't think anyone weilds them as "status symbols" , if such a thing can even be called a status symbol considering this is an internet game and not real life. I use greens because they are cheap and effective. As for them not being a good way to make money...whatever. Sounds like someone is a little pissed because they missed the boat. 80% of my in game fortune was made farming for Victo's stuff. 100-80K for the Bulwark...yeah tell me they aren't a good way to make money. I can still squeeze 10-15K out of a Bulwark or Axe that takes me less than an hour to find. Rare skins with good mods will always sell better, that's just a fact of the in game economy but there is no need to be all bitter about greens. How about we all stop telling people what Anet does and does not like unless you work for Anet? Hmm? How about we all just do that? In fact let's all just man up around here and say what we are really thinking? How about we just go ahead and say "I,the poster, don't like people farming because it makes me have to pay more for stuff that I think should be obtained cheaply."? I think that would be much better than trying to hide behind Anet's proverbial skirts and waxing self righteous about farming.

Have a queen farming staff for my monk, safe to say no complains at all.
Have a perfect gold Musaat hammer(probably the best perfect mod anyone can find) on my warrior, what's the difference between the two? Nothing.

I tend not to use any of the new professions in fear of Anet nerfing then. I usually wait it out, allow for any skill adjustments to be made then use them.
