I do however think they killed farming. Take for instance the ecto. Who hasnt gotten an ecto latly? Now that decreases the value ALOT! Now onto other things. Like for instance 55 Monk/55 Necro/Tank farming of trolls. How in the world can anyone be happy killing lvl20^ creatures and getting 99% blue/white drops. This isnt just in troll caves eather.

Now i want to bring up other points. Anet doesnt allow gold selling legally. Which makes anyone who does buy gold have to pay an arm and a leg. Personally i dont want or need to buy that gold. It does seem like its coming to that though. I run a group of farmers "Farm the World Guild". We farm from tombs, sorrows furnace, trolls, griffens, factions locations, and UW/FoW. The farming has gone to crap and i am tired of it.

For instance, who cant get an ecto so the price dropped. I used to get atleast 1 black dye a week. Havnt gotten one since factions came out. Yet the game company has limited the supplies merchants can sell. They also nerfed half the farming abilities. Then they never lowered the prices on goods such as armour and weapons at smiths.

I think this is about the end of what i can take. It used to be that if you wanted a good weapon you went farming and went out and bought it. Now finding a good mod or weapon is like hunting the red october.

I dont sit around and brag about farming or what i have from farming. Neather do i sell my gold. Though these game devolpers are stopping me from being able to earn gold. I used to make 30k a day troll farming for 9 hours. It will now take me 4 days to earn that.

All i am getting at is this. The nerfing must stop!

P.S. I was told to come voice my opinion on the dev corner here so i could get my opinion out and show that i am not the only one tired of the nerfing.

Kay lemme put in my comments.
1) Are you really trying to make a "GW Living off trolls"...i dont think so. Trolls almost never drop anything good.

2)The last time i got an ecto was yesterday, i did 2 runs with duo and we got 3 ecto in all. 2 for me and 1 for her. So i dont know whats goin up with you but im gonna keep doin UW. Also you can do chest runs in FoW that gives lots of profits. Solo spider farming with a wammy doesnt hurt your pocket either.

3)When we dont have favor, which is a lot (USA) then farm things that are actually going to give you profit. If you have factions theres +5 places to farm down in kurzick outposts (55ing that is). If you dont have factions you can do plenty of things while waiting for favor. Minatuar, griffons, hydras, or PVP...its a great part of the game you should try it. PvE seems dead to you so get some ranks and learn in the process.

Nuff said.

Two things :
Gold drops are MORE common now.
Stats on weapons are IMPROVED. (Look @ the stats on purples, heh 9% faster recharge on a purple wand? 14^50 +28hp 8% Furious on a... purple axe (req 11, but still)?)
What this adds up to :
Good mods are CHEAPER and more COMMON.

What that means :
Less money for you, but better chance to actually find what you want anyway.

I currently have about... 15 gold items on one guy and about 10 or so on the other. Just doing quests... with people. And opening those lovley chests.

Farmed Today :
3 Gold drops per run (where? just about anywhere south of House...). One of them is a sweet Dual Gothic Axe 15^50 req 10.
5 Man Group : Total of 8 gold drops in the same area in 2 runs. I didnt get one the second time.
Moved on to a new area.

I dont see your point and I dont believe whatever you are trying to say with "farming" and "dead" in the same sentence is true.

Gold, the coin itself, seems to be worth something now as you only pay 100k+ for some strange reason or really ... "rare" items. (Rare as in Urgoz Longbow... so rare theres always 5 auctions of it up... heh)

Maybe I am just lucky?

-Edit-
What material do you want?
Leather, Tanned Hide and Fur = Wardens
Chitin = Those Buglike things (Mantids?)
Silk, Linen and Cloth = Jade Brothers (they sometimes drop Jade too) and Am Fah
Just salvage, and expert salvage, what you get... youll get enough quickly. Alot of collector items are worth more salvaged than selling to merch for 20g. Every time you get a new type of collector item salvage it, might be the material you are looking for.

Just how many non-elite skills did you buy?

I'm in the mid 30s on capped elites and have over 40 spare skill points, and I'm not a lot over 1 million XP. And I have bought a reasonable number of non-elite skills, including a few wasted purchases.

Fortunately, capping an elite now gives you 5000 skill points for the act, which is a nice rebate on the XP cost of that cap sig.

I found a new area that fits the changing market of materials to better suit the new demands that are out there. And there are no bot farmers there, so it is still good.

And I am not telling anyone where it is.

That's just great and all, but why even tell anyone that if you have NO intention of telling anybody?
