To legitimate farmers: some suggestions
Iuris
Hello guys. I have to admit I don't farm much, but with the surge of complaints of unjustified bannings of legitimate players (some of which might even really be legitimate , I would like to offer some suggestions on how to avoid getting too mechanical while doing it.
-Chat with guildmates, if at all possible. Farming is a boring activity, and chatting with people can really liven it up.
-Farm with a friend. It's more fun, and as you wait for each other a bit, you act in a pattern that is not as mechanical.
-Take a break once in a while. Go refill your water bottle, relieve yourself, stand up and stretch out, look out of the window at something far away (good for your eyes, too).
-Switch builds and farming spots. Not only do you break up the monotony, you just might find a more efficient way of doing it, even.
Or, my personal suggestion: don't farm. Grab yourself a big party, and go do something. Help people do quests, run various missions, and pick up the whites. You won't get as much as you would have got in dedicated farming, but it is a slow income that costs much less to your soul.

I would, only if it were statistically better for drops. I get the same drop ratio with 7 Henchmen.. horrible.

Um no offense here, but I think your the one that needs help. Exspecially since you say you have hardly any experience farming your self. and Well you are asking for some major flames from some people here on a post like this.
And well since this post is nothing more than asking to be flamed we know where it belongs. But I will still answer some of your points nicely.
1.Most people I know that do farm also very much talk to there other alliance members. Farming is boring? Maybe for you it is, but most I know its not.
2.Some do farm with there friends its called dualling. As far as having patterns it dont matter. What ever is the best way to do it people will do it that way.
3.Now you know why I solo mostly. just so I dont need to make any group wait on me. and as far as looking outside not much there to see at 1-5 am in the mornings unless you are trying to be a peeping tom and Id suggest not doing that.
4.Most people who do farm do just that. They have multiply farming characters and very very many farming places.
Now just for my suggestion. Dont knock it as it dont bother you in anyways except the botphobia you seem to be trying to spread, or is it that you are having troubles getting groups and dont want people soloing so maybe they would join you. And my personal suggestion play the way you want and let others play how they want. Its less of a headache if ur not worring about others. But if you truelly want to be helpful then by all means try to be helping by letting anerf know that they need to straigten up get some shots and meds for there botphobia and everything will be fine. Once they realise the 1 thing about bots.
BOTS DONT CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES THEM TO DO ANYTHING.

There should be no farming code anymore (Which I can't say for 100%). So sticking to the farming place is actually a better idea if you want that item (greens, rare gold weapons, tomes) Quote:
