Why We Farm(ed)

Money = Fun?

I can't figure that one out. Farming is extremely dull to me. Bingo! took the words right out of my fingers.

This makes no sense to me, you'd rather not play the currently existing rewarding gameplay in favor of boring and repetitive farming?

Everything you need to equip your characters and heroes to enjoy the rewarding gameplay can be obtained by just playing the game, without farming.

But you'd rather be run through the primary missions, right into the end-area's - and skipping al the content - so you can buy max-stuff and start farming.

And the you complain there is no rewarding gameplay.



Maxed armour is about 5k per piece, plus some materials. Maxed weapons come for about 5k per piece, some with inscriptions, and upgrades can be salvaged from loot. With a very few exceptions, runes can be bought cheaply at the trader.

Except for their skins and their rarity there is nothing about rare weapons that makes them better then those from collecters and crafters.

If you want to farm, that's fine. But don't claim you need it to buy the gear to play the game. You are focusing on a very narrow minded view on farming, and also misinterpreting what people mean when they say "nice armor/weapons". We are not at all claiming that getting rare skinned weapons or expensive is compulsory to play the game, we are merely trying to explain that the reason people farmed was because they wanted that rare weapon/expensive piece of armor that would make their character look good in their own, and some other people's eyes, and utilised farming methods to speed up the process.

You have to understand that this is like fashion, of course it's not going to actually improve your ability to play the game, but rare weapons and armor will make you look more "attractive", and that people will not want to go through the game over and over again to try and get these high end items, as it will take a ridiculous amount of time.

Bingo! took the words right out of my fingers. thing is not everyone has your fingers.

some people like me have a small guild,but dont leave beacuse it is composed of close friends...thing is those friends do different things and play at another time than you,so you either play alone or with other random people.i preffer alone because:

1.Takes to long to look for a party,time i could use farming or actually enjoying the game (be it farming,pvping randomly or whatever)

2.I hate noobs,but i dont have the guts to say whose a noob and why,since i dont know those people.

3.I hate getting called noob because i have *only* 7/8 skills for a build

4.Solo farming is fun FOR ME.


Long story short,not everyone has the same opinion and anet should balance in between (if x build was used in x place,when they nerf it they should make it harder,not impossible)or something like that
