Heres a stupid idea. Take a screenshot before zoning into UW of you, as the group leader, saying that any 55monk in your group should leave or asking if they are. When they go 55HP, take a screenshot fo them letting the team die and then running off on their own. Take several, with you're character asking for rez and accusing the 55HP monk of scamming the group.

Now: take those screenshots, and all your pent up frustration to http://support.plaync.com
and write a coherent letter explaining that this person scammed the group out of a plat so they could solo farm UW. Be nice; don't cuss, flame or demand justice for this atrocity. GMs don't want to be flamed any more than you do, and they're likely to read less than half of your complaint if all you do is flame how unfair/unjust is it to even have a 55HP monk inthe first place.

I've always been courteous when I report people abusing the system to Anet. i've always recieved courtesy in return. ANd they DO somthing about it. Just because they aren't allowed to tell you what they do for privacy reasons doesn't mean that guy didn't recieve a warning, a suspension, or a ban. Before i started reporting, I'd see the same guy once or twice in a group. After I report, I don't see them anymore. So, something is being done...as long as you report it and do so without ranting.

As to ALL 55HP MONKS ARE SHEEP as the OP seems to think:

Baa. mmmBaaa.

Why not Grab 2 monks a nec and a ranger and farm ALL of Uw (including most quests) and have hell of a good time ?

I love my 55 monk

I use him only for 2 man UW and then IDS runs on occasion. I think its a legit character and people shouldnt complain about it :P

anyone remember Absorbing in Diablo 2? and how people always cryed noob to someone who was smart and got something on that absorbed the damage he was taking? same deal here People are smart for being able to make themselves money.

However, Using a group in UW to make money is not cool. They should unnerf prot bonds

Just for you, unien: Anti sneak-ninja 55hp monk skills (as suggested in a previous thread I couldn't find):

Symbiosis: "Create a level 1...8 Spirit. For creatures within its range, for each Enchantment on a creature, that cretaure's maximum Health is increased by 27...125. This Spirit dies after 30...126 seconds."

Vital Blessing: "While you maintain this Enchantment, target ally has +40...168 maximum Health"

There's some other options, but you get the idea. Whoops! there goes the 55hp's main line of defense ... now he has ~300 hit points ... 1 or 2 hits from an aatxe and they're floor decoration

Happy UW'ing to the legit 55 and SS/SV necro pairs, and trappers!

Instead of rebalancing player skills just change the mob's skills. Put in more enchant removal and life stealing mobs. Farming should be discouraged wherever it is found because it is a pathological behavior.

55 hp characters are not the problem---rude, immature, ignorant and childish players are the problem---oh wait, they are the problem 90% of the time, my 55 hp monk actually helps alot in some missions, it is quite easy to change armor/weapons sets when needed, I used to go 55 hp for the UW first chamber when helping friends cap spiders, so what, no need to stop play style---if only we could stop the before mentioned players??

anet say they dont mind farming but we all know that to be false as they ALWAYS nerf the farmers before anything else, and usually screw up peoples legitimate game builds at the same time.
with the pve being so short lived and boring now (and pvp'ers being elitist idiots in most cases - see the pvp'ers posts like geminisaga in this thread for proof) there is nothing left in the game except farming or using gw as a fancy chatroom.
anet nerf the game far to much for me to consider getting factions

Lot of the tweaks will target bot farmer / human bot farmers ease to get access to items that also affect the legit farmers. Since the change to Profits Path, there more people then ever farming in teams for the new green (just like IDS in Citadel) but stoped the solo 55 hp builds.
