They would have to, only way to fix the market. Who the hell will be getting Obsidian Armor now, no one thats who. They may as well take Obsidian away for good.

Im so gutted i saved for 15k NF armours instead of my 2nd pieace of FoW ='(

Ok, thing like trolls and Vermin didn't need to be nerfed, cause everyone needs some form of income. But UW solo, did need nerfing, it's just silly to me that a place that is meant to be hard, can be done with only 2 people. Personaly I think that Anet should add another way of earning an income without that kind of farming.

I think its a very good thing, It should stop alot more Bots, which were getting so damn common and annoying and hopefully persaude people to farm less and quest more, i sure we all know of at least 1 person who just spends all there time farming who has missed out large chunks of missions, and have never bothered with the titan quests etc. Granted Money gain is kinda low on Gw but Questing in Factions and i imagine in Nf too increased somewhat so u can still afford 15k armour etc. And if ur really obsessed with wanting the deliberatly expensive FoW armour just deal with it, its not meant to be easy to get after all.

Or you could just wait, oh, a week or two and watch new farm builds pop up. Adapt! Get creative! That's what I'm doing.

I like how people are likening this to some sort of catastrophe because.... ZOMG... How will anyone get their FoW and Obsidian armor!? Maybe you won't and you'll just have to settle for 15k? I dunno.

Kidney Licker · Oct 26, 2006, 02:38 PM // 14:38

Yay, the return of UW trapping teams.

There was ecto farming before the dual UW teams.

For your infomation I use original builds not mainstream rubbish like 55 crap.

This is an utterly cruel thing to do...especially since for the most part this game forces you to farm. I agree with anyone who makes this statement...because you can't get enough money and materials for, say, 15k armor by playing normally through the game. You don't just happen to fall over the "leet money" you need to buy that perfect weapon.

Well I got my moneys worth out of my Mesmer's Vengeful Echo build and, also I can still farm the Wajjun Bazaar reasonably well so not too bad. But I agree with Riotgear...someone will develop a new uber farming build...there are new skills after all. It's just a matter of time. There may be an ever better build available - just waiting to be found.

So yea, it's disappointing for now but it's not all that bad atm... If no new farming builds become available in the next 2-3 weeks I'll start to get a little disappointed!

Like I said early, Anet need to start giving good money from things other than soloing, like prize money for winning AB, or RA etc, or money for doing missions.

annachie · Oct 26, 2006, 02:57 PM // 14:57

crying and more crying

if only ppl didnt copy-paste every fkin build and started using their own brain, the world would be a better place.

stiffler · Oct 26, 2006, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Lol I love it how people think its just the builds that have been nerfed.

ITS THE DROPS. You can make as many new builds as you want you still wont get any good drops.

Xeupo · Oct 26, 2006, 02:59 PM // 14:59

I am glad Anet decided to refresh the game and make the beasts out there a little bit more intelligent.

I am not an fow farmer, however, and the areas I farm are uneffected by this change. (I have seen perhaps 1 or 2 critters run away to heal but that occurred before the update) It is just a matter of changing the farming fodder.

That said, noticed the update states that the critters will not run if they think their target is near death. One possible change for farming is the create farming builds that rely on increasing damage when health is below 50%

Knowing this forum, I'm tempted to believe you're being serious, but there's no way anyone could be this dumb.

Nestaron · Oct 26, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

Can't say i'm bothered tbh... Just gives me more reason to use my Trapper Ranger for UW, Trolls and Mino's... I find trapping way more fun than 55 anyway...

yo home boi · Oct 26, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

Trapping FTW *cough*

So did I and the best out of 5 runs was 1 purple assassin rune, and it aint just me. Everyone in the guild didn't believe me so they went in and tried it, guess what? they got nothing after a few runs. Maybe you got lucky.

LiamR · Oct 26, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

It took me 15 mins to do the big group of vermin. 1.5k in 15 mins. whee.

heroajax1 · Oct 26, 2006, 03:12 PM // 15:12

After hearing about this "nerf" I went to elona's reach and to farm some vermin. Nothing's changed. Just takes a bit longer. Really this update simply nerfed "bots." That's it real players will easily adapt to these changes.
