Rather than a wide ranged area the monsters had a chance to spawn from anywhere within, there are 2 very specific easy to locate points? Come on now, that's the kind of thing you put in a single player linear game where once the player moves through they don't return. From what I hear this very same thing was going on inside the public test servers as well... so as far as I'm concerned this is working as intended. Have I "farmed"? Yes. I've "farmed" spec ops runs too. If there is something I want in ANY game that I can acquire through time spent farming rather then spending real money, I would rather spend the time farming. So yeah I spent my real money on a pizza & beer and farmed mobs for the Dye's I wanted. The GM's have been having plenty of their own fun with all this going on too. I don't AFK farm, I chat with my friends and joke around to break the monotony. So yes I did notice when I was suddenly teleported to the center of the north east dome. It was good for a laugh while spiders fought over which one would pull my newly arrived body into the poison abyss. I would like to know what the official party line is on this from the GM's though. I'd rather not be banned for killing monsters in a game where you are supposed to kill monsters... though it would make for a funny story.

We would listen. But id rather not be banned when my agency officers and I have conferences when we are all farming together switching afk roles every 5 minutes arc healing 3 turrets.

I would like to have an official word on wether people will be banned for this. Until that time I'll continue to do this whenever I am not actively playing the game or i am sleeping.

It would seem the intention of the hot fix would work, if you don't get anything why keep farming? _________________ CaseyJones wrote: This is why stupidity should involve pain.
