Furniture farm is back!

valiel · May 2014

Since the last patch there is again furniture farm. Please fix it, its annoying to see giant amount of players who do it.
Why did the developers return this??

They didn't return anything. What they did do was fix a bug where apparently 'full' containers were giving no loot/materials. I documented this over a period of time and this bug was occurring 50-60% of the time.

All they have done is made it so these wrongly empty containers now have something in them.
As a knock-on effect some people have found more motifs than in previous weeks but its still down to RNG and still the same percentage !
Once they realise it's not really increasing things they will get bored and stop doing it again. You will always get a few idiots that want to run round login/out repeat. If that's what they pay there subs to do... more fool them

As a provisioner, I want to find some base materials for my profession around the place. There seems to be a lot of confusion around people like me wanting to find broth, malt, unimproved green recipes - ie the basic tools of our trade; and people expecting a motif in every other cabinet.

Just for the record, I never wanted a motif in every other cabinet, just basic non-rare provisioning ingredients, because you cannot harvest them in open world like you do other crafting mats. How would you like it if you were a blacksmith, and 9 out of 10 ore nodes you tried to mine turned out to be "empty"? Crates, barrels, and sacks, are a provisioner's "nodes".
