Tips for Farming Greens
MyNameIsBrett
I was trying to farm some greens from bosses the other day, and I noticed that I was not getting any drops in GWEN. I spent about 2-3 hours in one area with about 4 bosses killing each one but nothing dropped. Anyone have any advice for this?

Tally your kills and see how often the greens drop. I assume you were doing this... solo? If not, you're just wasting your time.

Blah, You dont have to solo to get drops hopefully they will nerf soloing to begin with its wiping this ecomony dry. Alot of people left cause everything is so cheap from soloing and guildwars is over ran with bots to begin with. Aion is also coming out soon. Usually I five man it if I want to farm greens sometimes 4 man it. I get pretty good drops from doing that. If you are going to solo make sure there arent any mesmers taking enchants off of you.

1. No, but you need to make sure you don't run with heroes or hench as they will be assigned drops also. Running with friends is fine if they don't mind handing over the drops you need. Otherwise solo is ftw!

My experiences show greens drop once out of every seven kills. Having a party of hench and heroes would mean you get the drop once out of 8*7=56 kills. Goodluck with that.
The economy is not dry, and farming is not ruining it. Stop whining just because you can't make decent gold yourself. WHY oh WHY did you bring bots into this? That's not relevant AT ALL. What is Aion? Why add a random bit of advice about mesmers? Everything you said is so pointless I don't even understand why you posted.

All the greens i got in GW:EN so far were from end dungeon chests. They seem to be the only chests worth opening so far. 
I'm sure you know this but incase you didn't, the dungeon bosses don't drop anything, but instead, you have a chance to get one of their weapons from the end dungeon chest. If you don't then it's rare material, or a gold weapon. Well that's my experience so far. All the greens I got so far in GW:EN were from those chests with the exception of one which was a quest reward.
I'm not saying the other bosses don't drop greens on there own, i've seen screens of some of their stuff. That's just what i've experienced.

I've only ever really farmed for greens (solo) during the increased green drop weekends. Nearly every green item I've gotten has just been through normal play. I was clearing out Sacnoth the other day and got Shons' Reaver. It doesn't happen every day, but I get enough to make me happy, and it feels especially rewarding to see one drop.
The worst is when I spend hours on a tough dungeon only to get a lousy high requirement gold. But the greens drop with enough frequency from those chests, really.
