Hi guys, this is my 1st thread. Is anyone else rly annoyed with A-Nets infamous "Nerf-Bomb"? I cant farm ANYWERE now, so i have no money. You can only get 2k balth faction per day at Great Temp of Balth, so i cant get any good skills cos i never get a monk in RFA (or all teams in TA are pro, and i always get some legand like Brehon or Power in HA)

. If you agree, and want to see some Nerfs being Nerfed (removing the nerf) Then type /sign pls. I'm struggling to enjoy GW atm because of all the nerfing..

i rly liked it but i cant now, all i want is the game to be a bit easier.

Also, pls post other ideas A-Net could Un-Nerf and type /sign

If you wish to type /notsign, then do, but pls give an explanation.

Sorry to have wasted ur time if u dont want to do anything here but its an issue i feel strongly about

/sign

You can still farm, just not the exact same way as before. Such changes to the game encite ingenuity in the players.

Anet considers the full impact of a nerf before they impliment it. No matter how many people "sign" this; they're not going to change it back.

What would be the point in making the game easier.. no offence but making farming more challenging will make it more productive in the long run because there will be less people doing it.

^ What the above poster said, I think the changes keeps the game challenging and no, farming's not completely dead, just takes more innovation to do so.

I do miss the run ouside unwaking waters though

havn't had that much fun since they nerfed balth aura.

I have never farmed and have no money problems, or trouble getting good skills, or trouble getting more than 2k Balth faction, or anything you mentioned.

Bankai · Nov 25, 2006, 11:05 AM // 11:05

Have you ever thought of playing a monk yourself in RA? Ofcourse noone will play a monk if they just whine about never getting one. Take the initiative, make people happy.

Farming is nowhere near dead, It's like it has always been one area is overfarmed, pack up and go to another area, there are plenty that open up to compensate.

Yanman.be · Nov 25, 2006, 11:38 AM // 11:38

Nothing has been nerfed.

Dobermann, have a look at GWGurus Farming Section. There are a couple of threads (as allways) and even post-nerf, some of the old builds still work (like killing annoying little spiders).

About Random Arena... it's hard to not go on a 5-8 winstreak there. Depends on the time you're playing though. When it's mostly morning in the major realms you'll meet lots of bad players, the comptetion gets higher as time moves on and dwindles again after a peak.
Think along the lines of 55 HP Monks who don't cast Protective Spirit, Boonprots which are not capable of dealing with the dazed condition on them, the rumored Healing Signet/Frenzy warrior. Monks that refuse to kite because they think running is lame.
You can go in with no skills at all at some times and still come out with a few points.

Farming is not dead, and this is exactly why I made this thread.

/notsigned, for obvious reasons.

LOL AT THE ABOVE POST! farming is as easy as it ever was.

Feme Assassin · Nov 25, 2006, 12:35 PM // 12:35

you can still farm trolls or vermins or whaever you want but now takes more time thats all so stop crying and play the game

quickmonty · Nov 25, 2006, 01:06 PM // 13:06

Farming is not dead, just wounded. Takes a little more time and effort, but that is good. It's like 'natural selection'. Most of the players adapt and continue, but the brain dead fall by the side of the road, holding out their tin cups and asking for alms.

P.S. A thread with whining and potential flames. Countdown for closure begins ............................................. now!

Tera · Nov 25, 2006, 01:06 PM // 13:06

farming has been nerfed, but like a few people have said it just takes a few extra brain cells. so basically:
'deal with it'
you'd be complaining the game was to easy if they didnt shake things up every now and then.

lacasner · Nov 25, 2006, 01:23 PM // 13:23

If you need money buy low sell high...and actually use your brain instead of whining about farming.

Dark Dragon · Nov 25, 2006, 01:28 PM // 13:28

yoiu have no money?? just play the game, i've never farmed a day in my GW life and i still get quite alot of money from just questing and exploring.

and as others have stated farming is not dead just harder.

and in RA its not that hard to win.

still able to farm... builds needed tweaked still easy... guess not for those without concept of game mechanics and build alterations...

but sure enough some of these new builds will become popular on guru because some people love to brag about their awsome abilities to farm with someone elses build... give it time... nightfall is still new

I have all Elite and non elite Elementalist spells, all non elie monk ones and a lot of many others, full armor sets and I still have over 100k unused gold in my storage for emergencies. Not a single goldpiece of those signet and kill purchases came from faming.

Now tell me:
- Do you identify anything before selling it?
- Do you pick up all items, including white ones?
- Do you need more that 4 o 5 platinum per day?

Farming was not meant to be but in a couple of places (trolls, verming...) and never was meant to be something very quick, like getting 2k per run in 20 minutes. If they notice people get a lot of gold in a few time in any area, they'll change it so you get less or you have to spend more time.

Play normally the game. Go for the fun, not for the cash.
