Yes after many previous "gw is dead threads" I can safely say that today it dies for many farmers across the land. Anet you have gone too far this time and I think the following picture sums up your "update" rather nicely......
The Official "Guild Wars Is Dead"......Thread.

Who cares?
GW is better than ever: now we have the entire game to replay in hard mode, and we have to play with good human players, no stupid tanking dunkoro.
If the only thing you like in Gw is farming, you better reconsider and play something else.
Today I did a mission in hard mode with friends, it was loads of fun, and I dropped a so called perfect sundering bow of fortitude.
Fun+good money.
Farming is dead? Good riddance!

This is very pathetic, GW is in no way dead, in case you have not noticed, not everyone was a sad fool who did nothing but solo farm 100% we are on this game, a lot of us actually enjoy mission, and guess what, there is such thing as PvP.
I hope the solo farmers do leave, and rid us of annoying threads like these, and mission outposts full of people just farming and not doing the mission, and people who have to abuse AoE or other skills because they don't want to resort to TEAMWORK (the whole idea of an online game) Goodbye solo farmers, hope the door bites you on the way out. (applying to those who did it 100% of the time naturally)

oh give me a break... hardcore solo farming was just short of an infinite money cheat. especially with builds that dont even require much attention, like the W/Rt solo farmers... Solo farming has been a horrible burden on the guildwars economy from the first time it was discovered. I'm glad to see it go, I just wish it was a couple years sooner. If it were not for solo farming ever being discovered, you wouldnt see near as much gold sale spam in places like temple of balthazar...

GVG same builds with minor diference

Great job on nerfing farming its about time the insane inflation on items went down. This game was never ment to be played solo 55hp was abuse of game mechanics. Now if you want to farm its got to be in teams as it should be GJ Anet

OMFG another WAH WAH GW is dead crapy thread
summer_goth
Guild Wars is not dead. I for one only started playing about a week ago. And I am loving it.
I have read a lot about this update and how some people are loving it and how the solo farmers are mostly hating it. Well from a new player's point of view everything makes sense about the update. But it also looks like everything I want to say has been said already.
This update makes it easier to find people to form a party with. A lot!
Anyways, I, and other new players are proof that Guild Wars is not dead.

Well, how will u get money? I farmed sometimes, a few ectos, to buy weapons for myself and for HEROES, because WE pay that too! Ok enjoy the game without money in it lol. Impossible, ask yourselves how many uber-l33t items do u get while doing missions? Not even a gold usually. Ok hard mode, but I dont think it'll balance it...

Frankly, good riddance to all who claim they're quitting forever. Again. But this time it's for real, right? But these same clowns made the same whines at teh last farming change. And they're still here. And still whining.
Rocky Raccoon
Maybe all the whiners will actually leave GW and we will have a btter community for it. If you want to farm go get a farming sim, John Deer is a good start.
Corpselooter
Did the game box ever say: "Have tons of fun getting to elona reach and repeating the mission over and over for a small amount of cash!"
No.
STFU.

lol @ all the people who still sing anet's praises whatever they do whilst dismissing everyone else's concerns as though they are just whinging for the sake of it. I bet you are all pure pvpers or else don't farm in which case why even comment since it has nothing to do with you.
Perhaps they should reduce the max number of skills down to 4 or 5 instead of 8 for pvpers. You wouldn't whinge if they did that would u? Sure you wouldn't.

Who'd be leaving over this?
Solo-farmers? Well, I don't want to be harsh, but really, what do they contribute to the whole gaming community?
-They solo mostly (farming). So, their leaving won't affect PuG quality (or better, it might be improved).
-They don't PvP (because they're farming).
-They whine whenever any farming exploits & AI adjustments fix/take place.
-Some of them sell gold for real money, inflating the economy.
Can you spell it? GOOD RIDDANCE.

First they came for the Mesmers, but I was not a mesmer so I didnt care that they were nerfed out of PvE...
Then they came for the Paragons, but I was not a Paragon so I didnt care that they were nerfed out of PvE...
Then they came for the Necromancers, but i was not a necromancer so i didnt care that they were nerfed out of PvE...
Then they came for me, the solofarmer... and the necromancers, paragons, and mesmers dont seem to care that I'm being nerfed out of PvE....

Alot of farmers both PvP and PvE. They PvP because PvE offers them nothing except farming after beating the game.
There is a reason why people whine.
Farmers do NOT sell gold for real money, that's the botters. Also, farmers are MAKING the economy, by introducing rare weapons into the market, as well as materials, dyes etc.
Ohh, and most people who finish the game after 8 times either quit the game or farm. With farming gone, only quitting is left. Soon, PvE will become deserted, since everyone will have beaten the game 8 or more times, and no new players come (since this is NOT good for A-net's reputation)

My sarcastic comments before this thread is locked and loaded:
"The death of Guild Wars is greatly exaggerated." - Mark Twain
"Guild Wars is dead... and you and I have killed it." - Nietzsche
"Guild Wars is dead...
Long Live Guild Wars!"
- Prince Rurik (I think!)

Guild wars isn't exactly dead, no... but it's well on its way there.
I recall somewhere, a dev said that they didn't want to destroy farming... yet here they go and destroy it. This is another update where the ones at the top rise higher, and the ones stuck at the bottom sink lower. "Work harder" you people say? Some people aren't as lucky with drops.
To the OP - don't feel bad about 70% of the people flaming you... it happens to most of the people who were happy with the pre-nerf equilibrium. Nice pic BTW.

Now, you can call this thread dead itself. My flaming ball of sarcasm chopped it all up.

For the sake of this thread... that reason you have for whining, would be...?
While you're at it, I would love to hear some references from the following statistics you provided, because I don't think 'most' people would agree with you. Here they are, just in case you forgot:

There's a hidden reason for this update, it was well pointed out by another user in another thread, I agree with his opinion:
GW1 is in phase out, they already got money from those who have bought the game, now they need to find systems which reduce their maintenance cost.
This update has nothing to do with encouraging cooperative gaming or stopping bots and ebay sellers.
In my opinion it's the first step of a new policy of cost reduction, obtained by getting rid of soloers, who took to many resources.
A cunning move, very well hidden in a big update, but it's first sign of what will happen in the future of GW1, which they're phasing out.

Uhh, did no one notice that they also got rid of the anti-farming code?
Repeated map entry no longer reduces loot.
So, how is farming dead? My first time out in HM I got 2 golds and a purple in OLD ASCALON!!!
