since so many dont seem to understand why ppl like to farm figured might as well start a thread for us that do and explain to them that dont

farming for me isnt grinding it isnt working what it is like is FISHING guess thats about as close as an analogy for me on it

fishing your not there for neccesarily for the biggest fish or even alot of fish.

its fun and relaxing for me.

so whats ur reasons for likeing to farm

Mindless, repetitive tasks are relaxing?

I never honestly consider what I do to be farming, though I've been told before it is.

What do I consider it to be?

A catharsis, especially when I'm having a stressful moment, I jack in, play for a while, and sometimes I happen about something awesome.

I log off, even if I don't get a sweet drop... and feel much better.

to me it's the sheer thrill of seeing a gold item assigned to me...

and the stat... dont' really care...

Dry, unwitty, criticism is relaxing? Or are you on these boards to build up stress?

I consider farming like work, not fun.

But I still do farm.

*sigh*

strcpy · Sep 30, 2006, 06:16 AM // 06:16

Because I like playing the game.

I like killing creatures.

I like trying to make solo builds.

I like the feeling when I see a gold item drop

I like the gamble of "what will I get" everytime I kill something (and them all be mine).

I like seeing big numbers in my storage and I like spending gold like mad (purchasing armor. dyes, and runes - thus I rarely have a big number in the storage - gotta spend it as soon as I get it).

*shrug* a lot of things. Mostly I don't enjoy the most of the missions and I've ran out of quests to complete so I run around and kill things. I figure if I'm going to do that they might as well be things that I get gold and drops from.

Whatever floats your boat. I can not stand PvP, I can not see how one does. But I do not complain or make sarcastic remarks about people who do. Heck if all you enjoyed doing was dancing and chatting in towns that's you business.

Good for you. As for myself, I absolutly detest any kind of pointless and meaningless grind , because it only makes me want to ragequit Guild Wars.

shrouded^god · Sep 30, 2006, 06:22 AM // 06:22

Farming is a business...when I farm I work...Im farming to make money for myself, and guild. While doing this I can provide people who want something...with what they want. I like it...

Farming is generally like playing a slot machine.

So says Ensign, anyway, and we all know Ensign is always right.

Karmaniac · Sep 30, 2006, 06:34 AM // 06:34

I like farming because unlike doing missions/quests I'm not forced to grind towards a set goal.

Curse You · Sep 30, 2006, 06:44 AM // 06:44

I likes to farm because I puts food on my plate...

Wait, you mean farming as in in game don't you? Usually the most runs I do in a row is four. I really can't be bothered with doing much more of the same thing more than 4 times.

Roshi_ikkyu · Sep 30, 2006, 07:40 AM // 07:40

I waste a lot of gold, buying things, inviting guildies, SAKE!

Its kinda like a title I guess, we all remember them luck titles right?
And the chart ones, you have to run to some places that NO mission or quest takes you. Why do that?

You want to accomplish something. Now a days I do alot of Chest Run. To get the title and to get mods. I enjoy making my own weapons and then either passing them on to new players or hording the mods.

Gold and items aren't really the objective since I could farm a green, and spent the next 2hrs trying to sell it and make more then 2hrs of farming.

I also enjoy killing things solo, the look of a mino mob dead, dancing over the corpse of a ettin. mawhahahaha, but I only do a few farm runs and then move on.

Cicada Sopita · Sep 30, 2006, 08:25 AM // 08:25

I find farming quite amusing - I use the vengeful rit build a lot and it looks fun when I just stand there, carrying an urn and the monsters die around me...

Like Going swimming, going shooting, and so forth? yes

often doing somthing relaxing involves sitting and doing somthing that is easy and simple, so you dont have to think about it, it free's up your brain so you can just sit and let your mind wander, sort out the days events

so yeah, they are, No ****

personally i enjoy finding new and harder bosses for me to solo with my ritualist

Omnidragon42 · Sep 30, 2006, 10:12 AM // 10:12

I love farming on my monk. Seeing all the damage and health numbers on the screen is a thrill

I find farming relaxing because you don't have to think about it.

Franco · Sep 30, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

Farming is a good way to relax , specially when you get one of those items worth more then 60k in just one run :P.

Zerimar · Sep 30, 2006, 11:11 PM // 23:11

i farm because i want the weapons and i like to see all the dead monsters around me.
