Every time I go to the Tomb of the Primeval Kings to get my butt whupped and do a humility check, I see dozens of Assasin/Mesmer combos streaming into the portal, a few at a time. They don't seem to be all from one guild or anything... so what's the deal? Why is the population breakdown of the outpost usually one elementalist (me), a warrior or two, an odd monk, and then a gaggle of sins who are almost always also mesmers.

Some secret?

Not a big secret

Basically, they run in by themselves with a specific build and solo the first few groups for drops, repeat ad nauseum. Also known as "farming."

They're farming the mobs on the right ledge for ectos.

I tried it a few times as Me/A. Totally doable, but boring as hell.

Not sure on that - since the big "clean out" which removed loads of bots/ppl ive not yet heard of anyone being banned for topk farming .We`ve got the wintersday snowball fights due soon and im sure a larger number ( seriously larger like 50x ) of the ppl will be in eotn as either ranger or necro farming the same quest doing exactly the same moves/actions and spells more or less in exactly the same place... basically same as topk and a/me.

Could be they saving Dhuum for wintersday when he`ll don a santa cap then go on a "slay ride" and ban ppl whilst saying "Ho Ho Ho"

I'd love to see that


OT: they're still banning people, but in smaller amounts, not in one huge "sweep" of Dhuum's Scythe

Question has been answered, and before this degenerates even further into an argument / flame-war about bots, anet, banning, etc..

Thread Closed.
