haha, and guess what, if you keep going, you get ANOTHER ONE! It took me about 40 minutes of killing Salving Cactus outside Heroes to get 5 Spiny Seeds, and I ended up with 2 "go play the damn game" messages.

RotteN · Aug 19, 2005, 11:49 AM // 11:49

just disable hints :P

That message looks mighty cool, I haven't seen it ingame though.

@nic0008, Why would you play the game just to farm anyway? There would be no point except to get money that you're never going to use.

i farm areas like a mother and never get messages.

Silmor · Aug 19, 2005, 02:38 PM // 14:38

I first got that message when trying to get Spiny Seeds as well. At that point I was already pretty damn annoyed with having to zone in and out for a chance to two or three Salving Cactii that seem to have an incredibly low droprate for their Seeds, so the message that they were going to drop them even less because I was passively punished for 'botting' was very aggravating.

Hey ArenaNet, if you're going to put in a collector for Spiny Seeds, don't put them on an invisible monster whose numbers don't seem to exceed five on any given map, which are outright HATED by all other monsters often beating you to the punch, with such a miserable droprate that the only sane recourse is to dip in and out of the only outpost that has a few at the start.

Hmmmm, I think I'm literaly going to start at ascalon one day and farm all the way to augry. see how that works out

Starsky-sama · Aug 19, 2005, 02:51 PM // 14:51

you might only get this msg if you instance alot and do the same exact area. rinse and repeat.

havent gotten it, could be just new, but when i farm, i usually clear everything even when i run out of space, before instancing.

meh, it does look good though.

Hoyt · Aug 19, 2005, 02:53 PM // 14:53

I received that subtle "Danger we know you are a BOT, you suck, go way!" message for the first time a while ago... right after the update mentioning BOT concerns.

What bugged me was that all I had been doing was trying to perfect my skill bar set-up with new skills and a new series of MOBs.
AND.....NONE of the loot that had dropped to that point was anyting to write home about.
*sigh*

Mavrik · Aug 19, 2005, 03:48 PM // 15:48

there is a certain area I like to go to alot to, rinse and repeat you know. I'm going to be curious to see if I'll get this message.

Elena · Aug 19, 2005, 04:25 PM // 16:25

it looks like a hint so it might not show if you have hints disabled

Xue Yi Liang · Aug 19, 2005, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Wow. I never got any of those messages - even though I used to farm like it was going out of style. Glad I turned my hints off from the start.

Loviatar · Aug 19, 2005, 05:03 PM // 17:03

i got it in Kryta where there are 4 mergoyles right at the zone and i was close to a level and the exp was good.

first message told me the loot was not unlimited

second message said the drops were about through.

got my level and got out of there.

must have cycled a lot of times.

if you get that message farm some place else for a while.

always rotate your crops for best results.

Epinephrine · Aug 19, 2005, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Well, I don't know how anyone gets the bleached shells either - the desert worms drop the things, but you don't fight desert worms often enough in game play to get many. I've gotten 1. Works aren't easy to solo either, and occur in packs of 1 or so. A few spots have two.

Still only have the one, even after farming the stupid worm for a while last night. I'm all for stopping botters, but I have to agree that ANet has made some pretty dumb choices about what drops what how often. I mean, it's what, 200 feet long? And there is one little bleached shell? It should drop half a dozen! Geez.

Age · Aug 19, 2005, 05:38 PM // 17:38

I don't farm around there to aften but have never gotten that message even if I am farming for more than an hour.

Silmor · Aug 19, 2005, 08:40 PM // 20:40

Epinephrine: the best bet for bleached shells is Dunes of Despair, you can get them from the Siege Worms there. But yeah, another fine example of a stupid collectible.

Thanks, didn't think of dunes, but there are a few in there. Be hard to solo though.
