Hello!
My main char is almost three years old so I have been playing guild wars for a while. I have completed all three campaigns and EoTN so I have some experiance with general play. People in guild often say that there off to go "Power fam". What exactly does this mean? I often farm bosses for there greens and solo farm smites often. I dont think this as "Power Farming".
What exactly is it?

Ive been playing since they got rid of the attribute refund points in pve 
I always thought it was farming the same monster as fast as possible for long periods of time.

Hey, I remember those days...not fun. 
Also not sure as to what exactly that would refer to. I only know power leveling.

Wouldn't power-farming mean just farming but do it every time you play for a selected period of time? Kinda like power-leveling except you farm for items and money etc. That would be my guess.

All i know is Power Selling and Power Leveling...

As far as I am concerned I would think "Power farming" is nothing but farming but with a name to make it sound better.
Farming is farming is farming IMHO

I'm pretty sure whoever you heard use that just meant farming excessively. It's not a common term.
theonetheonlybruce
could he have been referring to power trading?

Power anything usually refers to doing that thing with power, ie: faster, harder, better.
Such as power leveling = leveling to max as fast as possible.

I think 'power' this and that is an overused term.
Oh well...off to take a power nap :P

imo powerfarming is farming the crap out of a spot that only a few or no person knows about, generally for rare skins, and selling them at outrageous price until spot is discovered/made public/nerfed
(farming could also include chest running)
some examples would be the recent voltaic spear farm, colossal scimitar in zehlon reach, magma shield in domain of fear, zodiac stuff in urgoz, sephis axe in gate of kryta
that's what I think, but I could be wrong

Why don't you ask in your GC what their doing?
then you'll know it for sure.

Perhaps he means Kamadan, that's where the best farming takes place .

power farming is like regular farming except you farm something useful and not something that drops shit greens and makes you 2k/hour yeye

Power farming is an oxymoron. It's a legend...a once upon a time kinda thing. Countless nerfs and loot scaling has made the once lucrative power farming into something of a myth. For balance they say. To fix bugs they say. To make things a lil more challenging they say. Here we are now and I'm feeling the collateral damage. Boohoo I say. Raptor farming is a joke outside of special weekends btw.

For everything, a price, Byte. So long as ANet holds the Nerfbat, things will be Nerfed.
As for the Raptor Farming comment > QFT. So many people have killed Rekoff and her brood that her green is a dime a dozen, Sin tomes are cheaper than max alcohol, and about the only good time to go is on party weekends. Why? Cuz Raptors have all the goods @ party time. High kill count, low run time, and event items are immune from loot scaling = ftw.
