i personally dont care if other people do it but deep down you all know it is an exploit. the fact that all these people are trying to justify it as the way the game should be played is what frustrates me. i am 98% certain that the during the design phase of this game the devs were not thinking "hey wouldnt it be cool if there was a cave where all the players could go to endlesly spawn kill hive to farm for loot thats supposed to take them days to aquire in an hour or so and completely negate all the other stuff we are throwing into game for them to enjoy? "
edit: this just in! looks like they nerfed the spawn rate of that cave!! guess all you guys in the comments who said if it was an exploit it would be fixed just got proven right!
edit two: Also here is a quote from the news page.
[quote] shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.[/quote]

3 RespuestasLol why does this bother so many people? The only thing I've gotten so far is a few cryptarch levels. Granted, I started at 26, but seriously people unwad your panties haha it's a game and should treated as such

2 RespuestasI have found a new cave. On earth. A captain and 7 others come out. Better than the last cave. The only hint I'm giving is Razor Blades. I'm keeping this one private for me and friends.

Severus Death said it best: [quote]I am able to loot from EVERY SINGLE enemy spawn point....My friend and I did it last night to prove a point to ourselves. Patch the cave all you want, I will CAMP EVERY other enemy spawn point. YOU CANNOT FIX THIS. I love it, are you lovin it yet??????????????????????? I love it when people get sooo mad about the loot cave.[/quote]And that's just it. The "loot cave" is simply the most efficient one right now. But every planet/destination has their own loot cave. In fact, evrey single enemy spawn point in the game can be farmed like this. It's one of the many ways that MMO's are played. Especially when the MMO is a loot/gear-centric game where you need it to get to the end-game content. The cave is not an exploit. It's not a glitch. Since it's neither of those, it's not against the ToS. The farming is a designed, intended part of the game, as it is in every loot/gear-centric MMO. It will not be fixed, and even if it is, [b][u]any[/u] [u]spawn[/u] [u]in[/u] [u]the[/u] [u]game[/u][/b] will work just as well. Get over yourself.

My farming still takes time & they nerfed it down from 150 glimmer down to 35 glimmer from the beta to real game. Moral of the story is that people will play how they want too.

My actions aren't being properly rewarded with the loot. Most of the time in PvP I get the highest score, most kills, best K/D and such, but I get nothing. Instead, the guy that joined 2 minutes from the end gets a legendary. I'm putting as much effort into the loot cave as that guy did by simply joining a game only to get some assists.

1 Respuestawhen this spot is 'fixed' everyone will move to the next farming spot, and what then? there will be always farming spots in this kind of games.

1 RespuestaWe are actually keeping the city safe from getting overran by hordes of Hive enemies.

Let's not pretend that cave farmers won't be in your raid team.

Hey if you have the time to grind this out what's the harm?
-
I've gotten nothing but cryptarch rep. Really, it's worthless
-
Deep down I know your jealous because bungie had the opportunity to patch it with the revenge patch and didn't...it's part if the game therefore it is legit.

Look, its just like listening to the radio or watching TV, you have a choice, so if you don't want to see people farming there, don't go near the area. The game contains alot of areas where you can simply sit back and wait for the enemy spawn, kill, and reap the rewards. The only difference here is the enemy are confined to a cave. People go to Earth, Cosmodrome, to play the random missions and take part in the world events, the fact that the cave was discovered is an added benefit. I have hit the cave twice in the last couple of nights and its resulted in some exciting gear. I agree, these threads are pointless and the thoughts of some that by doing this you're "cheating" is blowing my mind. Cheers

39 RespuestasThe only thing Bungie cares about are players having the ability to play the game the way each player desires. If people want to farm the cave that's perfectly justifiable, and in no way is it deserving of a ban. What's ironic is that someone sitting in the cave with the full intention of thwarting how someone chooses to play the game is frowned upon. So if someone has such a distaste for people farming the cave, just don't go to the cave. Simple as that.
-
11 RespuestasThere is little difference between grinding strikes or the cave other then difficulty... If strike bosses had a predictable loot table or a higher chance for specific loot then the knowledge of what loot is possibly going to drop would be so incredibly valuable to me that strikes would trump the cave more often then not. However because EVERYTHING is random incentive is volume not quality, and that drives the player base to a lvl 5 cave.

8 RespuestasIt's not an exploit, none of the games coding is being broken, changed or manipulated in any means to interfere with gameplay or mechanics. It's just people farming mob spawns.. Just like any other rpg. It's simple.. Mobs drop engrams, people want engrams, people farm them. They could go anywhere and do this. Do you think this is the only "cave" ? When you need relic iron, spirit bloom, metal, etc. do you take the longest route possible or the shortest route possible to FARM them? The answer is obvious. When you are finished getting all your vanguard/crucible marks for the week, getting daily rep, and doing the weeklys/dailies then you tell me why it's not justifiable for people to kill enemies for some drops. Bungie knew that farming would take place in this game, and had mentioned it in pre-game interviews. Do you think they are going to ban everyone that farms? They would lose 99% of their player count. In all honesty, these threads are so ridiculous and obtuse that there should be a link to merriam-websters website to reference idiocy and the lack of common sense. You make me laugh.

2 RespuestasAre you for real? Your most recent patrol was coincidentally on cosmodrome, earth and if I'm correct isn't that where the 'loot cave' is... ;) And don't bother saying you weren't at the cave you had 527 kills, 326 assists and 2 deaths. But hey it all must be a coincidence right. Complaining about farmers saying how its an exploit yet you are doing it yourself. Double standards.

"[/quote] And I’m pretty certain that, during the design phase of the game or during the alpha or beta, someone who worked at Bungie would’ve thought “Hey, if we have a spawn point in that cave people will be able to stand outside it and spawn kill the hive that come out”. They’ll have realised that this would happen and obviously didn’t care. Nobody else should give a fuck either...

Editado por Black Rob: 9/23/2014 8:34:46 AMYeah it is an exploit of the game, no doubt. But since when is that a bad thing? Do what you have to do, plain and simple. I went to the cave for the first time yesterday, to see what the hype was about. I was already level 26 before i ever heard of it, so i didnt benifit too much. After a little while, the appeal wore off. If you think the cave is fun, go do it, but personally id rather sit in front of the cave and watch the rage :) Watch out for cave trolls!
