ok something strange happened to me in the past few days. i changed the way i farmed a couple of my farm spots...and now golds don't stop dropping. seriously, right now my entire storage (4 tabs) and half my main farming chars inventory is filled with golds, all of which i got in the last couple of days (not including loads which ive ided or sold off already which must be at least 30+). although im still testing to see if this is a general thing or something you specifically have to change for each farm. or it just might be certain farms work and some don't atm. anyway will post again whenever i get more info

forgot to add that in one of my farm spots where i can farm for ages, golds seem to come in waves. what i mean exactly is for a number of runs i'll get a ton of golds but then in the next lot of runs i will only get 1 or none at all. then suddenly another wave of golds will drop and the cycle repeats itself. this is also done when i repeatedly enter the area and it is a popular farming spot. i think this also applies to one of my other farm spots but gotta test it out again later.

I found a similar thing. I was farming a resonable amount but in lots of different areas in different campaigns doing a massive solo HM 55 tour on my monk. At first the drops were awesome but then they started getting worse and worse until they were terrible even in areas i had never farmed before. I think A-net really need to sort this out. They will stop bots with this tactic but they also make it practically impossible for normal farmers also. I did a few missions to see if that would help. It did a little but not for long. Drops were a lot better when i have played in groups however. I've been doing a lot of 3/5 man UW/FoW in HM and that was fun and decent drops. Maybe the loot scaling is based a lot more heavily on how much solo exp you get/exp from an area (more in solo ofc).

Go do something else with that character. Say, sell an item or something in a defferent area. Try again. If it STILL doesn't work, then you're just having bad luck. Get used to it. Stop complaining. Thank you. Goodbye.
