Farming Whiners.

Ok so obviously farming is becoming something that is getting a ton of people here butthurt. Just a heads up, you'll see the word "butthurt" in here a lot. We hear kids saying "oh you're exploiting the game by farming" or "oh you're not legit" or "you're a scrub/noob for farming." Here is what I think about these people. These people are either jealous or butthurt that the players who farm are getting good gear and weapons. I do it too and you know what? I don't honestly care what anyone thinks of me for farming and your opinion about me is irrelevant. People have grudges against farmers for just such silly reasons. But here is the real point. Why are you allowing yourself to get upset or butthurt by what the farmers are doing? I don't understand why. These are just people who are playing the game in a way they see helps them or is beneficial for them. Everyone has their own style or opinion for what is fun for them. They're playing the game the way they want to play and if you think it's wrong, well that's your opinion, but what are you really doing by coming to the forums to complain and cry about farmers? Is it going to fix anything? Is it going to bring world peace? No. It's a game, get over it! You play the way you want to play and I'll play the way I want to play. At the end of the day, everyone is happy! Oh wait, not everyone, because even after this post there will still be people complaining and b*tchin' about farmers. In any case, just play the game, have fun, and don't let the actions of others get you upset or down. You'll only be ruining the game experience for yourself. Whether you're doing strikes, farming, or PVP, just have fun! :)

    Ok let's get this straight. People aren't jealous and I accept farming is part of games like this. Only when you are farming several days in a row because the other parts of the game have no appeal to play because they aren't even close to as rewarding at all, it becomes boring. The concern you seem to miss is there should be a viable alternative and there isn't. The loot drop is so random it's broken. It should be based upon the type of enemy you kill. The harder they are the better the loot. You should be rewarded for the effort put in. Bosses should be like loot pinatas throwing out tonnes of loot when they die. [spoiler] A prime example is on the Vault of Glass your final reward is.... The lamest shader in the game. Yes I know you'd expect maybe a limited legendary/exotic class item to show you've beaten it but no. [/spoiler] So it's not an issue with gamers. We understand why you are farming, we are all farming, anything else is a waste of time. My issue is with the game not making the actual strikes, raids and other activities rewarding enough to make them a viable alternative to enemy respawn camping for days on end. More work = less reward that's the issue here.

    • The thing is for example in the crucible (iron banner when it gets released) you didn't earn your gear by skill but by wasting time killing low level mobs. Yes, the loot system now is broken but in my opinion farmers that have legendary/exotic gear didn't really earn it in my opinion, i could sit for hours and hours on end and kill low level mobs but there is no skill involved in it so i won't do it ( i like to earn my gear how it should be earned) If you earned it by beating the raid or a strike on a hard difficulty i applaud you.. if not.. i think it's pretty lame.. in the end you are allowed to play however you like or the game allows you too.. but still.. it's a slap in the face for the people that actually do strikes and raids on the highest difficulty to get good gear.

      • It's called jealousy... Envy and want. They don't have the want to get gear that way. But since they don't it becomes other faults they don't have gear or whatever. It's simple, you can't trade it or sell it. It doesn't effect you at all... Unless it is in fact envy.
