It's been about two weeks since my last gold drop, and about week or so since i opened a gold chest. I notice it when I did 3 totem axe farming runs with my war. In three runs 6 axes drop, two fans and 8 gold but none was for me. Lucky my part members gave me 1 axe for doing a good job. The next day I came back with my monk and in two runs 8 axes, 1 fan, and 5 golds and again none for me. But it was with my guildies so 2 axe for me.

. I figure that i mite have tiggered the anti-farming code. Did a few missions (no drops in mission, except for whites) and waited about 3 days before farming different areas. All i got was white's and blues, the only purples I seen was crappy ones from chest.
I play an average of about 1 to 2 hours daily. I farm in Tyrian and Cantan. I team farm and solo farm with W/ and 55 monk.

So my question did i get nerfed?

quitting if this keeps up.

Take out all the other party members, and go with only your warrior - and all 6 of those axes woulda been for you.

hum.. quitting just cuzz of drops. eeee no u didnt' get nerfed. don't think people get nerfed or there accounts "flaged"

i guess like most cases if your just farming 1 area or set of areas over and over each day w/ out doing misson or odd ball things. your drops will suck.

As for the green axes and fans. the same applies on what i said above. go cap a skill or run some people places.

just my 2 cents

I did missions in (4)tyrian and (2)cantan the last two days and when to area i didn't explore with my war. Capped a few elites with my monk and tryed a few different areas. Still nothing. I haven't seen a purple drop in three days.
I never farm the same are more than 5 times.

hmm well Anet might think you are a bot and completely nerf all ur drops, though i doubt that's the case.
Probably just horrible luck.

Perhaps if you lit a few candles and prayed to Lady Chance...

Scented, no question. Either lavender or vanilla work best, FYI.

Seriously, I've had my share of dry spells. I've gone for over a week without seeing a gold drop - other than out of a chest. Then again, I've had my lucky streaks, too. It's nothing to get worried or upset about, it'll all balance out in the long run

You could do unscented if you also burned some incense. Personally I like lemon and/or strawberry scented. Of course it's Lady Chance you have to please, not me. Are there money scented candles?

I know the feeling, for the longest time I felt Anet must have singled me out to receive 90% of the world's worst drops.

It's still not great, but at least I get gold water wands now instead of purple ones!

Yes, Anet specifically targeted you. Please, please quit the game. Take the time off to learn proper English or some other similarly useful endeavor.

I get gold drops every 3/4 months if I'm lucky!

@Caleb The Pontiff Your avatar is scary!

@Hockster You said: Take the time off to learn proper English.... That's not very nice! I for example I'm not English so I could take offence of what you said, if my English is not perfect I'll try to make it better but at least I make an effort to write in another language than mine.

Gold drops are random, A.net doesn't nerf anyone. They ban botters not nerf them. Also if you think you've trigged a anti-farming code (Which is flakey at the best of times), then log off and back in again and farm another location.

well that is strange.... Going to put my self in a strange position lately i've been farmings for 4+ hours none stop. get golds every zone. YES I DO get none for a few runs but over all it's not bad. I take breaks to watch whenever the tops guilds are playing. *off topic* y do people think LOM on Evil is the best 1vs1? Not saying he is or isn't. because he sure does pown a lot of people. *back on topic* well i hope you find comfort in the responses others have given here (serious responses i mean)

If you wish to increase the quality of your drops have to do the following:

>Create a presear char and help two people do rez sig quest and across the wall quest.

>With your main char, go to Ascalon and give the first 5 ppl you see asking for "Need 50 gold for storage" the necessary funds. Grab a 6th person and take him and henchies out of ascalon for 2 min and show him how easy it is to get 50gold.

>Go to Dildremors warcamp, and give PC's for the first ten ten ppl who say "Need PC on <item>" shouted out. Doesn't matter if they are correct you are simply putting someone's mind at ease.

>Next Grab your Monk and head to THK, spend all afternoon helping groups that can't find a monk do the quest. Yes you can do this mission with henchies alone but noone seems to realize this, so it is up to you to get these ppl through the mission and help continue the prophecies storyline.

>Lastly, and most importantly, spend one afternoon in guru forums re-reading all of your innane posts and please, for the love of all that is dear and sacred delete them.

**Good for 1 gold and 1 green drop gaurenteed**

Damn if it takes doing all of that, maybe I should just quit for a week and try again.
