It's a pity more wasn't done to instead properly reward teamplay. Sadly the single player mentality has been growing for many, many months and now it seems to be the norm. I'd like to have seen something which didn't penalise people's play styles (either way) but at least properly rewarded teamplay... which is what is lacking these days. Oh well, pity single player people don't stay offline where they belong. Flame all you like, I'm tired of seeing the once great coop game I liked a lot turned into "single player with optional coop" it is today. Thanks for listening to single player whiners over the months. |

It goes from 1 (you) to 8 (full party) and any number in between. Who are you to tell me how many people I should take? Or how I should play the game? By my saying that options should remain open and FAIR equivalent to the level of challenge undertaken, I am not in any way affecting the way YOU play. Nor do I care how you play. So why are you and so many others in such a hurry to condemn the way I and others play? Is it just arrogance? Enlighten me. |

Without farmers, high value items would be even RARER, making them even further out of reach of the average player. Sorry, but your arguments just don't hold water. You need to understand how supply and demand works in a dynamic (sort of) economy before commenting on how people increasing supply makes demand go up... |

Youre all just jealous, and always say they are ruining the game with no good excuse for it. Start making your own food man.

In the case of the latter, people will always desire rare skins, so while the ACTUAL price of a sword may drop from 100k to 20k, if gold is 5 times as hard to come by, nothing has really changed.
I'm unsure what you meant about greens, suffice to say that without solo farming, you'd still be paying 50-75k for totem axes, instead of 5k. |

Armor is easy to get without farming (i got 8 prestige), Yes a lot has changed since people arent forced to farm solo to get the gold for those rares... greens should be expensive since they are perfect and hard to get (if you dont farm them) totem axes were always easy to get (even in groups) |

In what way does my playing style hurt others? Especially considering how you don't solo farm and yet have more prestige armor than I? If that's true, then you just proved that farming doesn't affect non-farmers. GG |

You just don't get the super valued (perception) skin. And that's your choice, isn't it? |
Originally Posted by Kaleban

Why don't they all just go get one? Perhaps because the run there and specific skillset and useage is beyond the average PUG member? |

Which is more fair? To let everyone play the way they want, or to force one segment or the other to conform to one way of doing things? |
