Monster drops for "extreme farming"

So I was solo farming a boss that was close to the entry point on the map, and about the 20th time killing him I got a message that said something about "if you repeatedly just kill the first few monsters and re-enter the map again, the monsters will start to become 'low on loot'."

There is an update that reads "...substantially improved the loot system so that only the most extreme forms of farming will cause monsters to start to run low on loot." (heres the link) http://ntscuk.pbwiki.com/LatestGameUpdates

My question is will their loot replenish after a while? And does this spread to all of the account's characters, all players in Guild Wars, or just the player doing the 'extreme forms of farming'???

thanks for anyone's input.

It means that if you continue to farm at that area you won't get good drops. Farm at a different area, however, and you'll be fine..Until the "farming code" kicks in there.

Ok so it replenishes, but does it take that character to be killing other monsters in other places for it to replenish or does it do it by just waiting it out, like after a few days or something?

Do a mission, wait a few days, farm the place again and ignore the message, all 3 works seeing they will still drop items.

Please close or merge with http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3071654 . This is nothing new and has been in the game for MONTHS and there are many posts about this.

What are the odds of getting the search enabled??

i found, before knowing about the drop running out thing, its taken my ele a while to get decent drops from an area I heavily farmed one night.. i was getting golds left right and centre, now theres nothing.. guess i looted them to much
