Is this a new nerf?

I was farming dragon moss with my 55hp monk getting very good drops and after about 10 runs i got this message/tip is this new or what?

1) Learn what the word nerf means.

2) Ancient news, it's the legendary 'antifarm code'

well new for guild wars? yah snooty tosser

what im really getting at is this a new development or has it always been like this with that tip and all????

Been there all along. You may have had hints turned off.

wow ive never seen it before >_> i know its not a new concept i just was hoping anet wasn't cracking down on farmers instead of just bots.which it hasn't yet well much >_>

That was a bit harsh.

There are threads asking this that pop up every couple of weeks or so, it does get boring.

Please mind you manners when on these forums. If you use a 55 monk all the time I'm surprized your've never seen this yourself.

Oh and this should have been posted in the Q&A forum, and yes there is always people asking about this message. Just make sure you don't farm the same mobs over and over again and it won't happen.

how ironic:

if I work xx hours every day and always do the same, I earn money, I don't get any "nerf", I get paid and I always get the same amount of money

if I farm x hours a day and do always the same, I get nerfed to death and don't get shit

translate into better english and you got my point

Wildi, please quit GW now. The moment you start comparing real life to guild wars, you SERIOUSLY need a reality check!

you are right, its a game thats means it don't have to be fair, nerf everything so people can't make money that fast

When you work IRL, you're contributing to the society in exchange for a certain amount of money.

When you farm in Guild Wars, you don't contribute to the game, but you still get money. Kind of like getting paid for stepping on ants IRL. Thus you get cut short after a while.

See the difference?

One time, walking towards the mall, my friend asked "how much do you think you could buy a vending machine for?"

My first thought was "Ohhh, about 7-10 plat."

Not even kidding.

if I sell shoes I contribute to the society but if I sell ettin armors I don`t contribute to the game society ?
or does it even matter ? nerf or not to nerf is a moralic question and not a question of power, only because my name is bill gates it does not allow me to force people to use internet explorer

A nerf is the downgrading of an item, function, whatever by the admininstration of the game to the from a strong position to the point of inferiority.

A passive code that diminishes drops slowly is not a nerf. You can still farm fine. It is also nothing enforced, as you diminish the drops by farming in the same spot. Most farmers either switch and farm normally, or it and keep farming anyway.

Changing prot bond from 1 energy to a higher level was a nerf. Prot bond is painfully weak now, and in no way can be used in the same setups, without serious compensation for the skill costs.

In any case, RL analogies don't generally carry over. If you eradicate 1000 ettins, you have to assume less of them have shinies. To take an RL analogy that does work, in a war the best troops are often used on the front line. If you kill all the best troops constantly (the mobs with phat lewt), the next ones will be weaker as the lower level ones are brought up (the mobs without good loot).
