Because farming gives you the same amount, if not, more loot then you would in a strike or whatever. Why go through the trouble of constantly dying, leaving teammates, and bullet sponge bosses when you have an easier time getting 5 times the rewards farming the cave.
Don't deny it, YOU KNOW ITS TRUE!!!

"I'd rather get the easy loot than actually play the game and be rewarded for it."
-
If the bosses actually dropped loot than I know for a fact that more people would do strikes and less cave farming

I farm the loot cave,but ive already earned all my gear. Plus beat the vault of glass and waiting for it to reset. I do my daily bounties and heroic story as well as crucible. At the end of my session i go and shoot the loot cave in hopes of getting shards. Ive earned the right to farm where i want to. How many people have actually beaten the raid? I think after spending hours on vog i should be able to farm where i want. Jesus people get over it. Im wondering out of all the people telling others not to farm it have actually completed the raid.

Farmed the cave for the first time last night, it's cool and all, but I got bored and wanted to play anything else. So really who cares, anyone can do it, props to the ppl that can stick it out for hours. Can't harm ppl for how they want to play game.
-
I completely agree it needs higher chances for better stuff for doing strikes
-
This IS a huge problem. Bungie needs to drastically nerf engram drops from enemies and give a ton more engrams from heroic story missions, strike bosses / completions, and crucible matches. The best way to obtain loot shouldn't be spawn camping.
-
So you farm cuz ur bad? LEL
-
I get more loot and better loot from farming then strikes ever gave me. 4 dreg gave me his ice breaker.

Edited by Destiny Fanboy: 9/22/2014 11:13:33 PMIve gotten more engrams from randomly killing enemies than from heroic strikes.
-
Yeah, but it gives you less than rep levels do -- and those not only GUARANTEE legendary gear, they guarantee the specific item you want...
-
The truth has been spoken.
-
Just get your gear then join the players in the raid
-
"SO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT!" sorry I just read the title
-
Just the fact that people will spend an hour farming (and I have) should tell you what needs fixing in the game.
-
The drops in this game are shit. It's as simple as that. People farm because it's a better way of getting loot, which is backwards.
-
Very very true I spent hella hours and got crap from pvp and strikes.but I'm still at it I'm about to go farming lol
-
Yeah, why try to develop skill, encounter and overcome challenges, and walk away victorious? Just go shoot fish in a barrel, or go play Candy Crush lol Farm if you wish but your fellow Guardians, the ones actually fighting the darkness, will not respect you. You've not seen the horrors that we have venturing beyond the cave, lol FYI - I tease in a friendly manner, go shoot your fish, and I say enjoy but I don't see how, from my point of view... Luck mate!
-
i have recently discovered after doing a few strikes that doing strikes for engrams is a frustrating waste of time. ill become a cave farmer soon i think.
-
I've only got good gear from farming It sucks because I feel brain dead doing it
-
False. I've farmed the spot on Venus for an hour a piece each time we go there for patrol or strikes. Got my first legendary from faction rep >_>…
-
I think farming boring. But if that's what you have fun with.
-
Because some times it is all I have time for ... Strikes can go anyway, Crucible rewards are hit and mostly miss. Story missions are ok but I like to be able to focus on it ... Like watching a movie. And as an old MMO/RPGer ... Farm/grind it happens sometime.
-
[quote]Why go through the trouble[/quote] The fact that you'd rather spend your time shooting into a cave than doing something more interesting makes me wonder why you play at all.
-
I farm because random loot in pvp is terrible!
-
I don't see a problem with farming for one simple reason. Even with three purples you still might get 3 blues. Although yesterday I got a purple chest armor from a blue. First time that has ever happened for me. Worked out great too because although I had legendary chest already I got the one i actually wanted to better suit my warlock.
-
I just do it to get stuff to level up the cryptarc. I always have the worst luck in strikes and never really seem to get anything anyways, even when I've had to carry my teammates, so farming is just an easy way to make up for lost loot
