So now that Griffons are nerfed...

when you find that next farming spot, keep it to yourself.

Out of my last 20 runs:

3 blue items.

Same results for my guildies.

It didn't say anything in the update about stopping any exploits in that area.

Some forum members have said they noticed a difference, others nothing. Could just be bad luck. REALLY bad luck.

Oh, believe me, I would pay for it just to be bad luck

I never heard about ppl farming griffons a lot ..

But, yeah, when u got a nice farming spot.. keep it for yerself
That's what i m doin, and my favourite one never got nerfed in any update

Regardless I use the area for gaining a lot of exp for unlocking skills. Gold is only useful if you care about how you look. I could always just go back to my other spot (although I fear it will get nerfed soon).

lmao did it ever occur to you that not everything in this game is an EXPLOIT???

being able to farm like that is not an exploit. sheesh they did nerf it but like the others ie riverside etc they do not tell you so. it falls under the main "nerfing farming" header but an exploit it is not

Just a quick question -- are there still farming spots out there? No, I'm not asking for a location (Unless I PMed you :-P).

Of course .... dont pay too get run to drocnars and you may find some.

*BTW this is not an assumption may be a joke. But it may not be a joke it could be a hint... depends on your personality realy..

*Im sooo confused...

Like i was saying to some one in a mp
What do u think a good farming spot rlly is? 1k per run? 10 rares? ^^

All this is really pissing me off I can tell you. These nerfs aren't in the updates, and they're POINTLESS. They've nerfed every farming spot I've ever had in this game, they've nerfed my 10 most recent ones! I used to farm because I ENJOYED it. I liked knowing I was working FOR something for some goal that I could reach by doing so. But they've nerfed EVERYTHING, even places where it takes over 2 hours to get 10k! (ie gates of kryta) I mean hell you couldn't even get rich quick in most of the spots they've nerfed, they just swing the nerf bat because for some reason, they don't think people should get dropped. Lets say I was a new character, I go through Gates of Kryta...what? 2 drops? What kind of crap is that? ...

Hell people who stay in the tombs all day get sigils to sell for a HELL of a lot, they get loads of money doing what they enjoy, why can't we even get money using our time and effort? Even the UW/Fissure are hardly worth anything to me anymore...nothing but crap I can't get at the southern shiverpeaks.

I'd like to refer to something I once said to someone in a PM...

Whether it's a rare item or massive gold doesn't matter. XD

Yeah, it's really annoying when Anet decides "Nerf time!". Next thing you know, you're wondering where to farm for the next three hours.

Lets just sum up how grave the situation has become.

The best and easiest way to make money in PvE is now to run people from town to town. Droknar runners will get more money in one run than I will in 2 hours. And that's just plain CRAP.

And they even made the Droknar run harder for us runners... on a side note (not an attempt to derail my own thread), I do runs from Ascalon to Droknar's. PM me, if I'm in the mood, I'll do it.

@PieXags: like u said in ur thread, making farming a lil harder for ppl doin it.. that i can understand but completely ruining places like Riverside Mission...

I think farming is one of the in-game possiblity player ll always want, like pvp, trading etc..
Controling it, that's ok..but u can't STOP it. I find it quite funny to develop my own build etc..trying skill combination, and like u jjst said, i ENJOY it, finding stuff, getting gold etc.. we re spending time doin it, this is no cheating at all..since it's a game feature. So? Why not implementing the same thing for HoH .. like sigil drops decreased after a large number of matches...

At this rate it will be impossible to farm anywhere. I don't really understand why'd they nerf every opportunity they'd get. I mean, making money can be hard enough.

Finding the perfect build is what I enjoy most in this game. I didn't mind the repetative farming of Griffons, I did it for a good 14 hours straight. Congratulations Arenanet, you have nerfed my last known farming spot and taken practically every ounce of enjoyment I once found in this game away.

I like that idea. I'm just frustrated is all, I mean I personally just enjoy making money and what not. I simply...can't do that now. I can't find anyplace in the game that gives good drops, it's insane and just plain unnecessary. There is no REASON to do it. Hell they haven't stopped droknar runners and they really won't be able to unless they make it near impossible for ANYONE. So basically every warrior in the game will get filthy stinkin' rich for running people around while everyone else will be stuck praying for the lost strongbox to drop something worth 60 gold. PvP players? No problem, they can make money. PvE players...who actually NEED the money...sorry guys, you're out of luck.

Just doesn't make sense.

It d be quite hilarious nerfing Droknar runs
Can u imagine this, ppl doin that all day long for money ^^ ..like the farming u get a popup saying "u have done too much of those runs in a short period of time, u r about to be redirected in Beacon's Perch " and then a wall of bricks in Snake Dance spawns and u r stuck

I agree with the above poster.

-Begins to cast Call Upon Gaile Gray-

Come to this thread and fill us in on Arenanet's -cough-horrible-cough- policy regarding farming and if they plan to make it impossible for

a.) Good items to drop.
b.) Add enchantment removing skills etc... to monster and / or mobs that have those skills to areas, making many encounters boring and repetative.

Also, PieXags brings up an interesting point. Why is it that PvP players can make money easier than PvE players?
