Curse

first off i have found nothing in the the "OLD" areas besides UW that has changed. the chest are an added bonus now accually dropping good stuff instead of endless junk. UW wasn't ment to be soloed so the put a mes there which guess what really stops nothing if you know how to deal with it. UW can still be soloed and don't ask me how cuz i'm not telling. you can solo every place in the game you could before just need to figure out how. i've even been soloing the "NEW" areas. anet knows what they are doing but sometimes i think they know people do want to solo so they leave it open and make it a huge challenge. its enough challenge to stop the bots but not the players.

green weapons are great and i love them very much. i fight for the little guy that has jack asking for money to buy himself new armor. glad to see anet listened to the little guy and evened the playing field.

greens will not gap the bridge between pvp and pve simply because i can hold the item on one of my pve characters and pass it to my pvp via guild member.

guess i'm just an innovator because i have not seen any suggestions only complaints.

The UW can still be soloed. All the rest of the areas of the game, not so much. It's not possible to solo, say, Sorrow's Forge. Because there are counters to every single class, and most conceivible farming builds. Anyway, all these variations of "I know but, conveniently, I won't tell you" are getting irksome.

So... how are you an innovator? Sucking up and not adressing issues other people have brought up are both sought after, I know, but those aren't exactly innovations.

Spellbreaker? Spellbreaker
I really can't see why people farm though
Has to be the most boring thing in the world

Bad Dreams are Made of Thiiis.
What about Spellbreaker?

Nerf it!

It's not quite as outrageous as Ether Renewal, and it has a rather slow recharge time.

some pve had a s**t fit but most simply farmed and paid as they would be farming anyway and a hall to us is not that important

2. as for hoarding and gouging i simply point to the people who put up to 35 sigels at a time up for sale when they fixed the shortage and they wanted to dump their hoard fast

Sorry about this - I meant to change that to PvE guilds and PvP guilds who couldn't wait to win one themselves

CS Lewis wrote a book about christianity. Now while i am not a christian myself he raised a very interesting view point which could have some relevance here. He was Talking about Pride, And while i wont bore you all to death quoting literature at you, the basics of the prose were as follows.

Pride is the biggest sin. Its easy for someone to say they arent proud, they just like these things, but ask why they like them? Is it nessecary, in this case, to have all those weapons, gold, Items? How do they improve your game? Other then, of course, give you power over others. So in actual fact your not proud of the items,hard work you put in, or even that you are making money in a decent way because alot of "farmers do it solo..who sees that achievement? You are proud your better then someone.

But well see the thing is this...IMO your not better then that "n00b" you just sold the fiery dragon sword to. Given the chance he could be twice the guy/girl/farmer/player/PVPer you are, he is just lazy. a simple fact that you enjoy exploiting.

When i started on these forums i read a few posts where people were saying, "we give away loads" and i believe them. I do it too. Give away my loot from farming, maybe keep the runes or the cash so i can buy that armor from droknors. I have seen a guildie do a griffin run and give it all away. IMO that is farming for enjoyment. To show how good his character, and even be proud of his achievement. But to do it, just to sell, is to be proud that your better then others. Dont get me wrong, i am sure selling stuff and farming floats your boat, and your not hampering my game at all just my two cents.

Obs

I agree with alot of this about farming for fun /unlocking items for pvp or
even just unlocking the items because they are there to be unlocked really!

For me it's mostly about goals, goals that i set myself because i have a guide
and a big ass list of items to unlock, runes, upgrades, weapons to find etc etc.

I have enough money to buy probably anything in the game but i do not want to
buy anything, I feel happy knowing that i only have 3 superior runes left to unlock
out of the once Huge list that i had when i started, the list goes on and on really.

What im saying is that alot of the people complaining in this thread and many
others seem to have put all farmers in a category, a bad category of some kind.

"Money Grabbers" "Scammers" all sorts of names and categories for some
unknown to me reason alot of you here dont like solo'ers and farmers?

I farm /unlock /collect because thats what i enjoy doing, after completing
the "current" game with four characters i dont want to do it again just yet
so i will be working on new skill setups for myself and friends to continue to
solo and work with together in areas so that we can continue to unlock &
collect items and materials etc etc...

I practicaly sell everything thats of no use to me and to my friends, guild
members etc to the merchant, i even find myself regular shouting out in
lions arch asking people if they want a free minor vigor or a +5 armour
peice for their sword etc, it's of no use to me and i dont want or need
the money from traders or the merchant so might aswell give it away.

I dont see nothing wrong with that?

Without shouting: You also don't need to farm/find/unlock/buy/sell/trade in this game to be successful, but that's clearly what you enjoy/enjoyed (delete as appropriate). It seems that the game should be about what you want, and others - who want the best items (because that's how they enjoy the game) - shouldn't be allowed, unless they are prepared to farm the FoW or UW.

Yes, you lazy people. You've spent 600+ hours playing the game, and you want decent weps? Shame on you! Still, you could always buy one from the op for flippin great wadges of cash.

A little selfish?

or is that shellfish?

Big misunderstanding on the Greens, everyone of them is a copy of a collectors Item in the game, I have seen each green Item my necro uses at a collector. OK not an exact copy sometimes but with a mod or two they can be. Uber weapons LOL thats a joke never seen one and dont want one. I farm and kill tons of Critters none are "easy" especially as a necro whos max damage off their weapon is 22 pts. yeah I can cast and hammer while I suck the life out of them but that isnt easy by a long shot. I like the way ANet has set the last bit on farming the greens in the Furnace, LOL I have made runs where not a single green dropped. This is nice, the green flood slows to a grind meanwhile those of us who did farm early and stockpiled what we got sell at a more reasonable price. No I never agreed that 100K+30 ectos was a decent price, again too I never sold a single item at that inflated and disgustingly bloated price. I have sold Brohns Rod staff or Stoneheart for 35K but never the UNSEEMLY 100+K. But once again Anet sets the stage and we wait to see who and how it rolls over in gameplay. I personally love this game and for all those who care I was playing D&D when it was still rolling dice and in its infancy way back in the 70s (yeah call me old man but so what) it is still a way to blow off steam and for a while live a life of fantasy.
