Seriously. Why should we care? If you thought you were supposed to be able to solo UW with 5 superior runes and a tiny amount of health, I have no pity for you...

You don't need ecto. It's intended to be a gold sink. It allows you armor that's simply a status symbol. So now that people have more of an equal opportunity to get it, everything is fine.

hey wait i think my perdiction came true; Trap Rangers only for UW, I hate it when i perdict things; The 1K per skill i said came true...
Witchblade
i know all that ... but since it is a feature of the game lotsa ppl want, we all know they ll find a way to get it
The guy who REALLY wants it..wont say " nah too expensive now " he ll grab his bot, credit card or something
Anyway thats their prob but, it is as good as removing fow sets, or lower the cost then

BAH just another excuse not to bother going in UW!
I really hate that place monsters are to strong the drops are better in pre-seering, you are lucky to see anyone in a group of 8 get a single ecto, when some one does others start leaving because they no it will be the only one, most PUB groups fall apart after first quest if they can make it that far. 9 times out of 10 some one will take the first quest when they do make it that far and end the run because no mortal team could ever do that quest.
ah end rant!

I don't. Wasn't GW called "cooperative mmorpg" or whatever? Solo hardly counts as cooperative in my dictionary. People want uber solo characters - there are games that allow that.

Also Aera Lure, although I hate to solo, because of the fact that I have enough one player games, I do agree with you 100% because I understand that it does happen

it is the lack of good drop rates that cause people to have to solo in order to make any money
of course these problems may have now been solved with green items therefore this comment is more so an observation about why soloing was justified despite the devs claiming Guild Wars to be a cooperative game

For your information the crappy loot in many places initially comes from solo farming (and especially in the UW which used to be generous). Everything in this game is balanced for a full team. Solo farmers screw up this balance because they receive 8 times more loot than standard players. As a result inflation kicks in and hits everybody and drop rates are reduced everywhere.
The perfect solution would be an auto-balance of the drop rate / party size ratio, but for some reason it won't be implemented by ANet.
Therefore adding disenchanters in various popular farming spots (twin serpent, uw...), and generally increasing monster diversity to increase the difficulty of solo farming, is a good long-term move, and especially in high level places like the UW.
Quoting the release notes:
If the average UW player (in a team) actually get decent drops, I'm all for this update.
The endgame FoW armor are supposed to be near impossible to get, and they had become pretty easy to get with an invici-monk. Once the ectos which have been solo-farmed are burnt with a few FoW armors, the market will be more healthy.
Even if I get bored of farming very quickly, I can understand that other players may appreciate this mind-numbing gambling process (do X then Y, get loot hoping to get super ubber item Z, rinse and repeat until exhaustion).
However they will hopefully no longer be able to get 10 times more stuff than a 'standard' player (who plays in team and kill various monsters on various high level maps). Farming should remain profitable but not disgustingly profitable. Screwing up the whole 'economy' (and especially for the average player who can't compete with solo farmers) is assuredly not the best way to reward a farmer for using a stupid copy/pasted build and for killing 2345 zillion times the same monster.

Ok guys, come on.
Just because UW is nerfed doesn't mean there isn't another place to farm. I've already found one since the update Just look around you.

all take a big breath.
yes, they nerfed the hell out of invinci monk lately.
it was the flaw of the game that soloing was more profitable then partying.
I can see that it can be hard to find a decent pick up group. I guess you will have to brush up on your PUG management to maximize your chances of getting a decent PUG. (Maybe a good idea after all to release a PUG management article Frog?). That said, the build has been running loose for weeks, so any smart player should have exploited it to the bone allready.
And farmers are creative. With the coming of 2 high level looot dropping area's, I take a bold statement that someone will find a way to farm the green weapons. And the farm-nerf cycle repeats it self.

All I have to say is that its about RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing time they did that. No more solo farming for you.

Stole the words right out of my mouth.

Well, i can bet that 90% at least of the "soloing monk" don't have any elite skillz, goal was to reach lvl 20 and droknar as fast as possible and once you're there, making as much money and drops as possible, why get an elite when you can kill dozens of mobs at lvl 6 ?
That's were the "true monks" will laught imo, well at least now there will be a full load of M/G ready to group for UW and imo this is not really a good thing, dying in UW is in the air now ^^

Let your party die after you get past the beginning and of course w/o rez they are sol , then continue on to smites.

Congratulations to all whiners and "UW isn't meant to be soloed" trolls. You failed to name a single good reason why solo playing even a hard area like UW isn't a legit way to play this game, but you won! It doesn't change the fact that it's utterly lame to force your preferred way of gaming upon others since a game like GW should have a place for all kinds of gameplay from PvP to team PvE to solo PvE (I am actually enjoying all of those). I am quite disappointed of ANet that they listened to guys like you. I hope next time they nerf an aspect of the game YOU liked. Expect me to laugh at you, then, too.

The rest of the updated rocked, though....
