Antifarming code-who?what?huh?Where?

Been lucky enough to only get the farming code once, was whle i was tuning my 55'ing skills to cope with interupts etc.

However it does kinda irk me a bit that you need to do some runs 60 odd times to get a good drop! What is even worse is the drop rate of ecto in UW! 1 ecto drop in 3 runs, and not just the usual places this was from doing the run as well as the back room and the village

What I used to do (before I got totally sick of it) was do Fort Aspenwood once or twice and it fixed the anti-farm code for me just fine, I was back in Elona in about 30 minutes

I farm in the same place whenever i play guild wars, the drops are really bad (no golds or purps) however i have never seen the popup either.

The big question is-can i do those things with a different char than the farming char which got the measage to get the code off?

Uh, what happens with me is:

Monk over-farms Elona. Hits the message. Very few drops everywhere, not just Elona. Monk is down for about two days.

Necromancer comes in, farms Elona, hits the jackpot. Eventually hits the message. He's down for approximately the same period of time.

Elementalist pops in, does the same thing. Exact same thing happens.

Now, I did that to actually test the blue message out. Even though I did other missions with the same character, the drop rate seemed to be dead for me for about two days. Switching characters didn't remove the "nerf" on the character that got hit with the hammer; however, the new character is perfectly fine.

At least, that's what happened to me.

People can't properly answer these questions because people don't know the answers. Only some ArenaNet programmer knows for sure.

Also, my personal recollection is that ANet doesn't really want to support farmers all that much. Whether bot or human farmers, they'd prefer people not mess up the economy. And it's very hard to tell the difference between someone just trying to get a specific green item from a monster and someone who's farming (so they treat them the same way).

It's very rare non-bots get wrongly banned for been accused as a bot. Simple protection: don't make it look like your not controlling your character ie:don't take the same route to the merchant, don't follow walls ect(most bots follow the walls to the merchant, elonas mainly), always try get involved in chat even if it's a quick hello to a guildy. I'd say theres not evena 1% chance Anet would ban you for being a bot, if your not a bot.
