All I can say is, if they want to nerf solo farming then they'd better increase drops for people in groups. Fissure armor already costs a fortune. If duo UW is no more, then it's going to cost about 10 million gold to buy all the materials for it.

Leave; so there's less emo dorks around.

To everyone whining about your ugly FoW armor:
Get over it. Your armor is ugly anyway; why not spend that money on stuff that isn't worthless and makes you look like a total loser. When I see FoW armor; I imagine a fat pimply kid with greasy hands, sucking down mountain dew and stuffing his face with hot pockets controlling the character. For the most part; this is true 60% of the time. 39% is fat pimply kids with greasy hands with an ebay account. I would say only 1% of the Fissure of Crap Armor-wearers aren't complete nerds.

Sorry if I struck a nerve; but you all like armor crafted from ghost-poop. 0=)

I love how this game is supposed to be about team play, but SS was my favorite build to use in PvE (with a team) and I can no longer use it. Couldn't they find some way to nerf farming without ruining my favorite way to play PvE?

Have some cheese with that whine. Think of new ways to farm geez. If all you're doing is farming, then why play? It's not like it's real gold anyway. Having said all that. I did farm last night. Still works. Just takes longer.

Granted I like THIS game over WoW because I can play it more or less single player. I dislike being dependant on a group of humans that all have their own way of doing things is generally the suck. I liked being able to go about things on my own as I oplease not needing to stand around for hours going "LFP..."

I'm not too stressed over the change because there will always be other builds...

I don't farm, and the way I like to play was ruined. I loved playing SS with groups, not to farm, but to get through missions. When the developers start ruining legit ways to play the game is when I hit the road and find something else to play. Glad I heard about this before I ran out and bought Nightfall.

It surprises me that people still play this game. As soon as people find something they like to do, it get's ripped away. As much as it pains, I am starting to get very tempted to give WoW a whirl.

SS is the new Meteor Shower. That got nerfed a while ago for similar reason.

Of course, on that note, Meteor Shower is garbage now because everything runs around so much it'll probably land off in the middle of nowhere and hit one enemy once. Mark of Rodgort + Fireball, on the other hand, is awesome now.

Enough ripping on farmers. Some people like to farm and acquire cool-looking items. That fact that you might not agree with them does not invalidate their desire to do this.

Also, the argument that "L0L FOW ARMOR LOOKS G4Y SO GET OVER IT NUBZ ZOMG LOLZ" is ignorant as well as pointless. ANet put FoW armor in this game so people could get it. Period. If people want it, they should have reasonable means of getting it. Solo/duo farming of FoW and UW made it relatively affordable, but still very expensive and sought after. If ecto drops don't increase to match the increased difficulty of getting them, then the price of fissure armor is going to be seriously inflated, which I don't see as being a good thing.

Not to mention those of us who used ectos as a means of income for affording things besides fissure armor...

If they really want to promote team play over solo farming, they should make the quality of drops scale with the number of players/NPCs in your group. There, problem solved.

You might want to cite your source on this one, as a large part of the player base does seem to think farming is important.

And if farming is not supposed to be part of the game, then why do the game mechanics encourage or even necessitate it?

People bought their game, and if they choose to spend all their time farming, then so be it. The nerf means it'll take a week or two before the new uber-farming build comes out and everyone copies it, and then a few months before Anet nerfs it. The cycle continues.
