Thoughts on Farming(?)

I was bored.

So, I ran to the Cimeroran Wall.

I was really bored.

So, I killed these guys for quite a while.

I liked being alone, and no one bothered me.

So, I kept going and going. I even scored some purples.

I never even checked to see how much infamy I made or what salvage drops I may have obtained.

I was simply bored. It was fun, though.

So, it isn't farming. Right?

Atomic, we were doing well till you decided to grief the thread. I suppose this will be your MO coming back?

If so please take a moment to realize the thread is about discussing things, not making accusations.

Please take your sheep elsewhere.

I think the fact that you flipped off everyone may have something to do with people not thinking your post was constructive.

Just a guess.

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.

It's a penguin thing. Pingu FTW.

I think the problem with your posts are necessarily your lack of putting in a LOL at the correct place, which I'm not sure you could find, but rather the fact that you don't actually seem to digest what everyone says when replying.

You fire off replies without a thought as to how they may be read.

If you're going to respond to a thread, you should possibly read what everyone else has read. It's no longer all about the OP as 'threads' evolve and opinions and input are added.

Such is the nature of a forum.

And DF I kinda see what your saying, okay the middle finger thing looked funny to me and I thought others would take it as a joke after the Kaboom thing, but all I really added to your threat was my thought, it was not like I directed to anyone or said anything other then the truth, its farming, who cares, if you dont then dont, if someone you know does let them be. We all farm on some level rather we see it or not.

Your tongue might be able to handle French but not your fingers I thought it was translated by Google or Babel fish

Yeah., my French is a rather ugly mish-mash or Quebecois, Acadien and Parisian. Too many family influences. :-) I do fine in Quebecois French, but when I attempt to use 'proper' French I'm muddled. My Arabic is better.

FYI, since I note you're in Quebec, my family is still peppered all over the Jonquiere-Chicoutimi-Lac St Jean area.

Where some of them are farmers (just to try and stay on topic...ha)

Saw this post on a smiliar thread, thought it was funny.

You might be a farmer if...
You hold assets (like IO sets) worth more money than what Countess Crey has.



You might be a farmer if...
you WOULD have more inf than Crey, Malta, and Nemesis combined if the developers didn't have that nasty 2 billion inf cap.



You might be a farmer if...
That somehow doesn't stop you anyways



You might be a farmer if...
If you have killed more Rikti Communications Officers in a single afternoon than were killed in the first year of the Rikti war...



And you might be a farmer if...
...Amensty International and the Rikti Defamation Defense League both want you for crimes against said Rikti Communications Officers



You might be a farmer if...
TV, the AE employees, or any other NPCs in your 'favorite' mission groan when they see you comming "Here we go again..."



You might be a farmer if...
You've gotten a powerset nerfed...



You might be a farmer if...
...and it wasn't just your imagination that you got a power set nerfed. Positiron actually sent you an angry email about it.



You might be a farmer if...
... the nerf didn't bug you anyways, as you had another level 50 in three days



You might be a farmer if...
The Ebil Marketeers watch your every move and/or twit like its a stock market update. This is because if you take the day off, the salvage and IO recipe supply will crash.



You might be a farmer if...
You taking off for another game for a month would to the ebil marketeers be the way the oil embargo was to the United States. A 'prolonged economic slowdown' would basically mean you got a girl friend. Yes, you supply that much stuff.



You might be a farmer if...
You ever leveled more than 10 levels *At the same time* at a trainer, simply because it was 'too inconvenient' to walk for each levelup...



You might be a farmer if...
... and you did this leveling from level 30 to 40.



You might be a farmer if...
The Gold Farmer sites want you dead because you're undercutting their profit margines.



You might be a farmer if...
You actually ARE a "gold farmer site". That's kind of stating the obvious though...

-Remembers when hitting Lvl 50 was truly a accomplishment" .

[/ QUOTE ]

This made me smile. My first toon was worked up to 50 with very little farming. I remember the sense of accomplishment when I hit 50--I had /e backflip with a 'whoohoo!' bound and ready. And an accomplishment it was--my SG mates threw a Pocket D bash soon after to celebrate for those of us who hit 50 for the first time.

I discovered farming around then too--and worked a toon up through farms from 1-50 over a few weeks, culminating in a Double XP weekend (not a fast rate comparatively, but I didnt have a lot of time to invest then either). This was a fun toon, but was lacking. My first had a plethora of little temp powers and such earned over a long period; 200+ badges without really trying...I knew her and her powersets inside and out and was far more effective with her for that.

In this sense, for me, PL'ing hurts the game. The worst after effect? As I worked on my PB (later to be my third 50) I found myself getting impatient. The devious, glass-piped crack high of fast leveling was addictive and it took a while to get over that. (I did it by getting into badge hunting--a non-experience bases focus. So yeah, heroin instead of crack...)

Beyond anything else, this is the worst effect of farming experience--PL'ing. In my case (and I'm sure many others') it could have killed the very enjoyment of the game. That, above all else, is the greatest threat farming presents. So long as people have fun, they'll come. Kill the fun, you kill the game.

YMMV of course but I think some variation on the theme applies to everyone.
