Lately i have noticed that some of the runs i do are getting harder...Beacons to LA & LA to Sanctum. Why? Why do the devs keep adding enemies to make it "more challenging." Are they trying to make Warriors the only viable runners?

Erm.. I dunno much about running, in fact I suck at it, but is it hard to run from beacons to Sanctum? I had never done it before two days ago, I managed with no problems running without a map and without using a W/Mo.

Can't you see? They're trying to get people to *stop* running...it won't work though, people will keep making better builds until the point where they can't make them harder...

hmm I haven't noticed any added mobs from LA to Sanctum, only run I see they made harder is from Beacons to Droks.

How the hell do they expect us to make money then? How will we afford FoW or 15K armor? They might as well just remove them from the game.

Just ran someone from Beacon's to LA the other day. It seemed harder but I thought maybe it was just cause I hadn't done it in a while.

No, runs are not getting harder...

Even though this is not a suggestion, it certainly belongs in Sardelac...

Runs aren't getting harder, I can do this run with my Mesmer (Actually I only play my mesmer, so... yeah^^). The only difficult part is passing through the cursed lands, the rest of the run is easy.

Though, I don't know if they are getting harder, I've only played this game since March, seems the same since then^^.

Yup, I knew the game had a purpose. Who wants to spend time doing quests and running missions ?

If you are having trouble making these simple runs, perhaps you aren't cut out for a career as a runner. Outside of the Droks run I can think of much, much better sources of income anyway.

Running has become a less viable source of income due to

-Scammers
-Error 7 victims
-Freebie runners or runners who undercut you
-Increased problems such as mobs or lag or you the runner error 7
-Factions says -.- ..|.. to runners

Unless you plan to run Drok Forge daily, most running doesnt yield as much loot as if you went and farmed or worked the economy.

I only run now when bored or when I need to get a char on my other account through somewhere.

I don't see a suggestion here. If you want this discussion to continue please post another thread containing an idea on how to deal with it (no, I don't mean 'Make running easy again plzkthx', I mean an actual solution to the problem).
