Yes, Thats the end of farming. No More UW, No more Trolls, No more Hydras, no more minotaurs, no undergrowth and nothing alse. Solo farming = Dead.

I wanted to hear you suggestions:

Stay Playing or quit!?

ive been wasting 9 Months of farming and I dont know if I wanna stay or leave. There is no point in playing anymore, just finish the game and done.

cerb · Oct 26, 2006, 02:02 PM // 14:02

i do not think farming is dead.

when aoe was nerfed we thought the same as well, but we found ways around it.

We need to think and try until something works. I definately do not think farming is dead.

Here, you CAN still solo farm, so quit crying.

BOOOO HOOOO OMFG I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER WAY TO FARM BEYOND WHAT I HAVE COPIED FROM OTHER PEOPLE!!

*calls the waaaambulance*

Sorry, all these whining threads are really getting on my nerves, but some people really need to start waking up and realizing that monk/SS farming is not the only type of farming that works. Am I the only one that has not forgot that UW trapping groups still work just fine? Sure farming might be a little slower, but it's not going to end because of this.

/end rant

I betta dust of my Ranger from under my Wammos armpit ^^

Shuuda · Oct 26, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Personaly I hate Solo farming, because it goes against the idea of an online game, if you enjoyed solo farming more than the teamwork part, then GW is not the game for you. When I heard about the nerf, I was tempted to put a white suit on and dance on farming's grave.

That's not drama, and I exclude myself from "we"

Braggi · Oct 26, 2006, 02:24 PM // 14:24

Well I "farmed" yesterday, just two and one quick runs to try something out. While I noticed enemies fleeing I thought this was due to new approaches or some glitch. Didn't realize it was due to the patch.

As everything worked out I can't really say "faming is dead". Not at all. Found it even neat and more challenging.

stiffler · Oct 26, 2006, 02:31 PM // 14:31

There will be no other way, its not just certain skills that have been nerfed but also the way enemies drop. Besides Anet made a statement that they dont like farming therefore they want to loose it all together. So yes, no more farming. Oh and for the record, I use a lot of original builds that most people have not seen or heard of before and I still cant get anything to drop for me.

Shuuda · Oct 26, 2006, 02:35 PM // 14:35

does that include team farming, cause thats perfectly ok to me, Anet should encourge less solo farming, by giving better drops to people in teams.

I have tried solo, duo, 4, and 8 man teams. Nothing is dropping anymore.

Ah, sorry, my comment wasn't being directed at you but to the whole e-drama threads popping up.

"ZOMG, ANet killed teh farms"

Rin · Oct 26, 2006, 02:50 PM // 14:50

dang guys, you don't know how to adapt??

I already have a build that doesn't involve AoE dmg, that I can farm up to 10 melee enemies at a time in cantha. I was successful in farming jade brotherhood with it and will test outside of mataau keep to farm kirin and undergrowths. Testing vermin farming as well.

Shuuda · Oct 26, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Well, maybe the drops in UW and FoW are less, because Anet thought you people where overfarming.

stiffler · Oct 26, 2006, 03:08 PM // 15:08

I dont FoW or UW farm, I tried it a few months ago but didn't enjoy it. I stick to Chest Runs, Green farms, and rune farms.

bryann380 · Oct 26, 2006, 03:19 PM // 15:19

Except for one minor thing, my undead farming (which doesn't use AoE skills) remains unchanged. The only difference now is skeleton monks try to keep a far distance from me at all times. Other caster types, such as sorcerers and warlocks, sometimes do as well but not always.

Shuuda · Oct 26, 2006, 03:19 PM // 15:19

well, other people overfarmed it.
