I am farming to get money to do interesting things.
Also, excessive farming? What is excessive? If I want Elite armor, that's usually 100k with mats included, so I have to farm around that much;
I can't really imagine what excessive farming is.
The thing is, the Alliance is as old as 2006 in some cases, and some of the people in it are really good at the game, rich as heck, too, like 700-800e's(That's rich to me!)
So yeah. I just find it hard to believe that an entire Alliance decided to troll me, a nobody, I've been in it a month, rarely talk or am involved in much(They mainly do UW runs & DTSC, which I don't find that fun.)
And just do this to me. I'm not sure what to make of it. Also the way they talked about it was just amazing, it was like zealous religious zeal.
They told me I must be quite stupid to not realize how farming is being greedy, and that I should just play the game without farming and be grateful for what drops...
Listen, if I didn't farm, I couldn't get anything! Everyone farms something. Faction, Greens, ect. According to them though, farming faction isn't really farming...? lol
Also this one guy said he killed a boss to get his green, I called him out and said that was farming as you specifically killed a boss to obtain an item he doesn't drop 100% of the time. He told me though, that he got it his first try, therefore, it wasn't farming.
=/
I then asked him if it didn't drop the first time, if he would have tried again and he said yes. He claims that it is not farming, and I am retarded for believing it to be.
He also claims that farming hurts the economy of GW. That's a tough issue, but in the end, farming has made it so many players can afford items they wanted, but previously were incredibly rare that only a handful had them. I think the game is better for allowing everyone to obtain what they want, as long as they're putting some effort in. GW was always meant to be casual, ArenaNet has said before, and farming has helped do that immensely in this game.
They also told me that letting people Leech off me while farming was hurting the game, and that I should max my Titles in EoTN by VQ area's and doing quests.
So I asked them if they thought SpeedBooking was "Ok" and they said it was not, that it ruined the game.
They claimed that any build that can exploit the game is wrong to use. They then said that Runners were another problem with the game, and that people who get runs are complete noobs.
Add onto this, they all shared a cheer hoping that in Guild Wars 2, nothing like in Guild Wars would happen. They said they didn't want any creative builds like GW.
I don't get it, in my opinion the people who created 55 Monks, and all those other farming builds, running builds, or general build that work immensely well were just being creative, and that's a good thing, and very few games allow such creativity to produce something as it does in Guild Wars.
I then brought up that their UW runs use specific builds to exploit the games mechanics and they just said it was completely different.
I honestly don't know what to make of it. It's very...odd. Some of these people have been playing since Day one, from what I can see.
I mean if it was a giant troll, that'd make sense, but again, why did suddenly an entire Alliance decide to troll someone that no one even really knew?:P
