I farm but i dont make huge amounts of cash , when im not farming im usually chatting in alliance or helping guildies.A while back i was farming outside Sorrows and weirdly i got all greens but the staff off the monk - and what did i do with the stockpile of greens ?
Did i sell them - nope as i gave them away to ppl in my alliance.
Now if we go by the ops guild it was fine to give greens away but bad to farm them - figure that out.
Small time farmers do jack towards ruining gw as we dont flood the market , bigtme farmers have an effect .
We play gw how we want to play and not be dictated by others - specially those who have no understanding of exactly what farming is.

Btw quick question - if farming is regarded as killing foes ( or all foes ) on a map then doesnt vanquishing come under farming as to me its "farming rep" in some places as its a reward and also goes toward a title ? :P

You need to find an alliance with less retarded people. That or they are trying to trick you into giving them your stuff. Find a new guild that enjoys farming the same way you do. Once you do everything else in this game, farming is only one of the viable options left to continue enjoying it.

Farming is greedy? my gosh i guess the four years spent in this game working my ass off for gold has been completly greedy i guess i should just give it to the people begging in kama and Shing jea because thats just like real life were the hardworkers get shit and the lazy people get it all </sarcasm>

If you work for the mony and spend time on it its not greed its getting your due i dont see people in real life giving money away instead of buying something unneded and this is a game nothing is really needed tell your carebears err guild they need to quit gw and u should leave the guild

How is farming greedy? It is not like we have a set amount of gold in game and people are taking more than their share.

Anyone and everyone can earn gold, if someone decides to play the game in order to farm then that is their prerogative. It is their game as much as yours, mine or anyone else and no one has a right to tell them how to play.

Most people agree with what I have said judging by the responses, few are idiotic enough to think differently. By the way OP, leave your alliance, find one that is not filled with morons.

Sorry to be crass but your alliance clearly sucks balls.

Join one which doesn't try to dictate how you should play the game.

Interesting, GW has always been about doing things how you want for me.

You can do things with heros/hench or a team of PuGs/allies with a relatively disorganised team build, or you can take the ideal skills and tactics for the task at hand (SCs, solo farming/etc) and taking full advantage of things like the skeles skills being ranged attacks in UW is part of the tactics.

The former you can get most stuff done in NM, at the same rate a well thought out/practised team can do things in HM.

And not needing elite armors.. you don't, but if you're vain and don't want to look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards, then you obviously do! (one of my allies has 15 elite sets on one character )

Do what you want, how you want, and when you want! (obviously excluding botting/intentional exploitation of bugs in the game code)

The GW economy is totally based upon supply and demand. If someone is willing to purchase a stack of a particular item for a reasonable price, then you damn well better expect people to farm those items so they get paid. As long as the time they spend farming is worth the price they get.

If then it gets to a point where there are so many people farming a particular item (ie, feathers), the market becomes saturated, the price *surprise surprise* drops and doesn't become worth the time to farm anymore.

Moral of the story: farming is necessary if people are able to get the things they want.

Find a new guild/alliance not filled with as many blockheads...

Greed: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed

Selfish: concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself

Ergo, by being concerned exclusively with yourself for more of something than is needed.
You are being selfish.

Your guild is right. Listen to their pearls of wisdom and donate all your money to bad players.

I would for sure leave that alliance. There are PLENTY of other ones out there who enjoy farming AND helping people.

Seems that you are in a adventurer type guild. Elite missions all day and hard core title chasing old school style. If you can't relate to that you need to join a farmers guild. But if I read your post correctly you are pretty neutral yourself and don't really care either way. I would join in on the elite missions with your allies and your loot will pile up just as fast if not faster than farming raptors.

I don't think farming is greedy...unless you're doing it for the reason you wanna be richer than other person or have to have every single shiny thing to show off.

I myself farm when I am in need of money or just bored and need a break from other things.

People play the game differently. No one should be belittled for wanting to farm or not farm.
