Do you Play or Farm?
4 pages • Page 2
I tend to play more, though I should probably farm more. My only incentive for playing is that for some reason I always want to get some kind of new armor, which usually requires me going through a certain campaign.
That's not to say I don't farm though, I did nothing but farm during this year's Halloween event. By the time the event ends tonight I'll have over 5,000 Trick or Treat bags.

farming isnt playing in the sense of playing. farming involves doing something repetitive for profit, where as playing involves doing something for fun and its not repetitive. of course in order to do either of theses you actually have to PLAY GW so gz on making perhaps the first +1 post on this thread.

Of course, if you farm non-stop, it can be too repetitive. But farming isn't repetitive for me...

Seriously? not one hardcore farmer replied? Oh-- they must all be too busy farming. I've gotten extremely bored with guildwars for gameplay. I've got a monk with over 20M XP. Also a perma sin. I try all the new farms. I mainly just farm. all I do. I can't remember the last missions I played that I wasn't rushing through it to get to the end, to get a skill, to make a farming build.
Whats more important in GW than money? You can get anyone to help you to do anything, offer them in game gold. I find myself logging on and thinking "What should I do?" well.. "farm, what else?"
no one else finds farming the only thing left to do in the game? those people like me with over 3000hrs of gameplay?

I have over 5,6k hours in gameplay and still find things to do. Whether its vanquishing or helping out a friend, farming is a last resort for me. I dont need heaps of gold to just sit there and stare at.
Even if I'm not doing anything, I sit around and talk to friends. I usually almost find something to do in gw, that doesnt involve farming :P

The economy seems pretty stable to me.
1) new item "A" is discovered and highly sought after = $$$$$ 2) Players go for this item more than others because it is wanted, so supply catches up with demand. Price drops $$$ 3) Players continue to farm item. Supply passes demand = $$ 4) Item "B" pops up, Item A price bottoms out, Begin again at #1 |
as for me i farm and play get sick of one, do the other, if i want a new armour set for some character, i farm the cash. i've never been a trend farmer..(i.e. voltaic spear farm etc.) although i have hopped on the raptor train not for ele swords but for golds, mods, and ToT bags during halloween

I play. I just come on and either start a HM dungeon run or tag along with a guildie to help with whatever they're doing. I may have done everything 100's of times, but it's not so much about what you're doing, more about who you're doing stuff with that makes it fun. I do farm on occassions when there's no-one to do stuff with, but that's maybe 1-2 hours a week at most since I stop whatever farming I'm doing as soon as a guild party is forming.
And yes, even after 6500 hours of playing GW I still find things to do. There's alway stuff to do. Sure, I get bored as hell when I'm doing stuff on my own, and usually log off again, but when there's a good group of people to play with the social aspect shines through.
