im reposting because i really didnt see the need to close it because we had a good debate about team play

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
why does anet nerf nearly all farming builds that we come up with, reduce drops for re-entering an area, just take out things that drop good or are farmable, and pretty much make it as hard as possible for farmers to farm gold but give people who farm faction an elite mission to get rich off of? why not give you players who actually have some skill in hoh some elite mission instead of the farmers you nerfed countless times?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

many of you said because it promotes team play but you can farm faction very fast by yourself and alliance battles dont have dp wich is a major factor in pvp skill instead of having a brainless wamo hitting stuff.

They nerf things easily exploited by bots, and they should do the same to the farmable faction quests.

Because they discourage solo farming, its a co-op or team game. Ever notice youll never hit the anti farm in a group?

most likely because the Diablo/Diablo II farmers really jaded them on the idea..

That is a pretty false statement. Regardless of what you do you get the anti farm codes, For example: take a group of 5 people and do SF all day... you will see. If anything Solo farming is more coordinated then team farming, you dont have to worry about idiots aggroing, or bad monks, it is just you a bunch of monsters and a beer.

1) To stop the online gold market. (bots/employed farmers)
2) To prevent large wealth margins between players.
3) To prevent inflation. ('poorer' people won't be able to afford much)

That's all I can think of right now.

they closed it for a reason.

good way to tick off the mods/admins. is to reopen a closed thread because you didnt see why it should have been closed.

next time PM the mod to find out
