THE END ALL FARMING DISCUSSION

Folks there is nothing wrong with farming.. People can do what they want.. On the flip side..there is nothing wrong with ruining farming by sitting in a spawn point..people can do what they want haha. Its a two way street. So no matter what side if the street you are on.. The argument is meaningless.. So my feedback is keep it how it is. Let us players enjoy the world how we see fit. We don't want to start a constitution in our gaming worlds. The next thing you know we will be banning guns geez.. You get my point though.. Enjoy...and let's all move on.

    Plain and simple, if I was rewarded better engram drop rates for doing hard strikes, beating bosses or just killing higher level adds, I'd do it. it would be more enjoyable. Until then, I'll farm the cave for engrams. Why would I spend literally double if not triple the time for -blam!- all? The problem isn't the cave farmers it's the lack of reward for doing end game content. Why don't you go sit infront of bungie HQ rather than in a cave grieving other players accomplishing nothing. Edit: this isn't aimed at the author, it's aimed at everyone whining about people using the cave.

    • Really, the reason people are willing to shoot at a hole in the wall for an hour is because it's about as fun as any other part of the game once you do what little there is to do, and there is no motivation to be challenged if lvl5's drop the same loot as lvl 28's. Bungie choose to make the game this way.

      Unfortunately not true. Farming is a legitimate part of MMO style games; sitting on spawn spots is intentionally not playing the game in order to hurt the gameplay of others.

      • thing is if Bungie comes out and says loot cave is wrong we're patching it then they really need to look at the whole loot system and progression past 20, the loot system in this game I find really odd, they copied so much from MMO games in terms of design and then didn't paste over a loot system that rewards taking down high level harder to kill enemies to produce more/better loot, instead we've got all enemies produce loot therefore the best way to get loot is kill easy to kill enemies quickly and efficiently, essentially when level progression is determined by dice rolls people roll more dice.

          The problem is, people that farm aren't interfering with how other people play. The people that interfere with the farming are affecting how others want to play. It can't be a one way street. Anybody that has a problem with griefers should report them to Bungie then Xbox or PS, then avoid them then reenter the world so the griefers are no longer there.

          • I don't think bungie intended for players to sit and camp a spawn spot. People do it because the loot system is fubar. Sitting in a cave is same thing as sitting outside the cave. Bannable offense? LOL. Your manipulating game mechanics by keeping out of a spawning zone. It's not "interrupting others gameplay" as you can just move to another area. Personally, I think everyone in destiny should just sit at the loot cave. That way new players will never run into anyone on a strike or patrol. The crucible will be empty. Just the way bungie intended.

            • I wouldn't have to farm if the bosses actually dropped loot. whats the point of shooting the same guy for 10 mins and get nothing to show for it

Enjoy...and let's all move on.[/quote] To be completely honesty i don't understand everybody debating the degree of "how ethical cave farming is" i see many players doing this and can't for the life of me understand why? Personally to me im sure standing in one location firing aimlessly into a dark cave is more exhilarating then finishing a nightfall. Little insight on my experience with destiny i put in work the first few days pregame hype i suppose. Now i get on after a day of work join up with some friends play the daily mission maybe a strike and play the crucible until 11pm or so and go to bed. Now everybody is saying legendaries are impossible!!!!! Now im sure i've played more then others and i can assure u there r plenty that have played more then me, i have one exotic body armor and the rest is legendary i have 5 legendary weapons one auto rifle, a fusion rifle, a shotgun, a LMG and a rocket launcher, i also have an exotic fusion rifle, sniper rifle, pulse rifle, and 2 exotic LMG's... thats just on my hunter i have equipment for the other 2 classes as well and not once did i cave farm just from casual play. But from experience i can say i seem to get a lot better gear from changing up my activity i noticed more legendary engrams from completely story mission and strikes with friends then playing solo. Idk if i still have readers at this point lmfao but keep ur chin up and cycle what game modes u play do some bounties and see if ur luck changes while having fun with friends, worst case scenario your right back to firing aimlessly into a cave. Have fun destiny lovers

                • I think if the game had better rewards and loot system people wouldnt do it. Or maybe not as much. More loot that people can do something with is good.

                  • I'm lvl 28 there is no gear I need other than raiding gear. That being said I do need shards and the easiest (not fastest) is farming spawn points. I do not do it for gear rather to dismantle legendarys to upgrade my current gear. This is all done after cap on vanguard and crucible ofcourse.

                  • I think they should at least try to address the problems with the loot system. But personally I think the reason why they don't change it or implement a trading area is because there isn't that much variety in the loot, if we were able to see all the gear in the game majority of it would look the same.

                  • I have a possibl solution .Fix the spawn rates at this cave farm but at the same time alter them somewhere else, and mark this location with something simple and discrete to create a new intended hidden farm. Then when this farm is found the first person or group of persons they can share a video to the forums or to a provided link and get a special emblem or named weapon. The farm could then stay open for 4 to 5 days for public use but then the farm hunt is on again. This could potentially please a lot of people by 1 leaving farming on the game and 2 making it more of a rewarded/ timed event.

                    I think this has to be like the 8th "end of all farming discussion" topics that I've seen now. How are you all the end of it when someone else inevitably brings it up again?

                    • Its probably funnier or about the same experience as the crappy patrol missions, why not I've never visited the magic cave. Might have to.
