Taken from our Off Topic post How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb? -

The GWG version.

How many forum members does it take to answer the "OMG how 2 maek golds faster?" question.

1 to answer the question.

14 to share similar experiences of how they made enough for their first FoW set.

7 to caution about the dangers of too much farming.

1 to move from Riverside to the Farming section.

2 to argue then move it back to Riverside so more people will respond.

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about farming rAptOrzzz.

5 to flame the spell checkers.

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames.

6 to argue over whether it's farming or just playing ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

2 posts from xRustyx claiming you're all a bunch of fags that can't make leet golds and need to kill yourself.

15 know-it-alls who claim they farmed their FoW sets in a day and mostly agree with xRustyx.

19 to post that this game is not about farming and that farmers are destroying the original spirit of the game.

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use farming and RPer's are idiots.

36 to debate which method of farming is superior and which builds/professions are better suited.

7 to post URL's where one can find farming builds on PvXwiki.

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's.

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes farming better.

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too," scattered between debates between Dreamwind and BryantAgain, in which they largely ignore anyone else posting in the thread.

5 to post in the thread stating they hate everyone for flaming them and that they aren't going to post anymore even though they will.

4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "Use wiki/search noob."

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

somewhere to store unlocked bulbs in their HoM
an extra pane in the |Xunlai storage for their stacks of bulbs
a collector for bulbs.

Fixed. They usually blame "elitist" PvP players who "refuse to adapt" while ignoring the hypocrisy of their statement.

Just imagine how much time you could have saved if you simply deleted the 'how to make golds faster' threads.

Still, the breakdown made me chuckle.

PVErs only normally complain about farming and other skill nerfs when Anet completely obliterate any usefulness from the skill.

We dont all rely on PVE only skills you know.
