Hello guys I just want to clarify some things and your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Anyway, its about a farming rumor that I have been hearing lately from other people about farming. The rumor says that if you have a lot of xp on your char say over 3 mil, you tend to not get any drops anymore (greens, golds and ectos) for you have been playing that character alot. So please before I delete my char to start over again, please (I know someone out there has a little bit of information about this) help me undertand if this is rumor is true or false. Thanks guys in advance.

Utter rubbish. Don't listen to it. I've got a necro with 3 million+ XP and she still gets gold/green drops like mad.

Same goes for my monk.

If you find that you're getting no drops then go do 2-3 missions. I've found that this instantly resets my farming code. I recommend doing the Shiro mission at the end of Factions. It should take 2-3 minutes tops and there are always groups waiting to do it.

*Note: the mission will take 2-3 minutes tops. Waiting through the cutscene for the newbie that hasn't finished factions... another 2-3 minutes.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Its certainly doable, I have 10 pve/pvp characters and my current main is a ranger nearing 5 million... and his acct is only 6 mos old (yeah, I have to work 40-50 hours every week too).
Note, it IS a lot less work to get skill hunter (3) when you already have all the skill points and enough cash
I do solo touch/wilderness/pet farming with him

Whoa, how did this thread turn into the Makosi Fanclub.

Anyways woftam, don't assume when you have no experience, even I as mesmer can farm 400k xp a day, if I wanted to It's just... so incredibly boring to try.

Makosi just put more playtime into it, while playing efficiently in that time. They also have exactly twice my xp

Now if u repeatedly farm an area hour after hour of course the drops are going to get worse, but it has nothing to do with ur characters XP.
