If it sounds fun, that's where I'm going. I doubt I'll even bother with common IO's for that one, much less an optimized build. Farmers farm because they are farmers. It doesn't matter even how you define farming, it could be street sweeping in atlas. If you define their group membership based on an activity, if they participate in that activity they are a member of the group. There is not one answer to why all of them participate in that activity, each one has their own personal reasons. Given that it's a video game, I'm guessing that the answer for most people is they derive some sort of enjoyment from farming. And that's probably the only true answer to your question. |
There are more parallels between my approach to the game and the Ocho's approach to the game than I am entirely comfortable with.

I'm happy to have a lot of the same game views as Ocho!

"The CoH Development team officially supports farming, because some people find it fun."
So then does this count as an official red name post supporting farming? Can I quote you on that Ocho?

No no no... it's not the 6 year old who's doing the farming! It's the Lv50 doing it. Besides, weren't you ever on a farm as a kid, helping around, what kind of childhood did You have?

Unlike my theatrical namesake, I was born and bred a city boy on the east coast. Hell, I never even saw a live RABBIT in person until I moved out to Iowa for college.
