Want a gold sink?

Then all you greedy farmers spread your gold into the economy to normal people who don't spend 6+ hours a day on GW!
Perfect gold sink!

Greedy farmers? So people who put in the time and effort to accumulate wealth for no reason other than items that are 2-5% better than readily available collector items and expensive armor that is purely cosmetic are greedy? Yet you want them to give it to players who do nothing to earn it for free? Who is the greedy one here?

The only way to make money now is run.....

I swear, I am getting sick of hearing all the farming complaints. Seriously, if you were a half decent farmer to begin with and have actually gone out and tried to farm since the new patch instead of listening to all of the other complainers, you would realize it only takes about 50%-75% longer per run. I used to do griffon runs in 3-4 minutes and now it takes 5-7 minutes. Big deal!! That's still infinately faster than just playing mission after mission with full groups trying to make money.

I didn't even change my build at all! Sure they run away from balthazar's aura, but you have so many running away and back they take a lot of damage from it anyway. Shield of Judgement doesn't cause them to flee, so that does a ton of damage. So quit complaining and adapt!!

Some people can only play cliché type games. If something different happens, they think it is bad because they don't understand it. GW is not typical RPG where warriors always use melee attacks, monks heal and protect allies, elementalists cast high damage spells and monsters are dumb enough to sit on fire. GW breaks specific profession role clichés and now same thing has happened to enemies too. I agree that new AI needs improvements but I like the direction where it is going.

Farming is still about same. It takes more time and/or different skill(s). Alternative solution would to join farming groups which can keep enemies in AoE damage range as long as possible if you want to use AoE skills. GW is online game so making soloing harder is the way it should be in first place.

So are you saying if you had six hours a day to play GW then you would farm. That makes you a greedy farmer. You are just inactive atm.

This update hasn't effected farming at all. It's the people who actually play the game who are complaining. And rightfully so too.
