I did go check this out on PC and the spawn rate isnt out of control like his video on xbox. So the xbox spawn is broken.

This is getting bad. I was near the pig farming in Glenumbra doing missions and crashed twice due to the amount of people killing pigs in the area. At least 60 people rendered, and probably even more there.

I hope this gets patched ASAP.

If it is causing people who are trying to quest in the area to crash, then it really does need to be stopped.

lmao there are only 4 pigs. there is no way 60 people would be able to farm them.

I rode through on my horse to see what the big deal was (sorry for bringing the huge mob into the barn with me), and I crashed twice before I could fast travel out. A lot of people for only 4 pigs. Lol

because people want refine mats? want them to reduce the respawn rate on ores and flowers too? maybe reduce the amount of nodes that spawn in a zone?

why patch?

Sounds to me like clever use of game mechanics.

How many threads must you make about patching people farming for mats? It's not hurting your gameplay; let them play the way they want.

i can one shot wolves and skeevers, should they patch those too?

You people should be locked away from MMO community for your zero understanding of the game's economy and development.
I could simply say "This is clearly an exploit, it's no game mechanics or some other bs." but the fact that you don't realize (or if you use a very poor form of sarcasm) is what makes my head explode. This clearly violates economy of the game if you can refine hundreds of raw materials made without any effort whatsoever while killing a damn pigs that constantly respawn?

What if you would happen to come across a bugged ingredient, Columbine let's say that, would respawn every time you collect it, would you abuse it and still consider it a "clever use of game's mechanics"? LOL, this is no mechanics, it's not intended, no strategy no Tips & Tricks thing.

It's already absurb enough how many people are abusing Obsidian Scar Clannfear farming, damn stupid. I sincerely hope that everybody involved in exploiting and making money off of it will get punished, in any way, tho I am not naive and it will probably not happen.

Oh and it's not hurting our gameplay? It damn is if these people start selling Dreugh Wax, they will beat each other in pricing, the lowest wins which affects all of us, (> price drops) economy issue. And now I realize that there are mostly players who farm Dreugh Wax to temper their gear rather than sell it so they can justify exploiting it by saying it's for their own use, which still doesn't fully justify exploiting.

But in the end, does it affect you at all? This is my question to all you that complain about it. Let them play the game they want. So they get a little gold for their farmed materials. Gold is near useless in this game. I want to make it clear that I don't farm...I prefer to trial/dsa with some moderate pvp.

It hurts the economy so yes and the people who farm without using exploits.

You keep telling yourself that.

But yes, this really does need to be fixed. When you take a look at the price of clothing upgrade materials vs the other professions, it doesn't take a genius to figure out just what is going on.

true easy farming dreugh wax there :>

Im sure it wont last. Just like the loot cave in Destiny. The more people know about it the faster it will get patched. Stock up your clothing mats and get ready for a price increase for Imperial City ^_^

If they patched every single little thing that ppl think is an exploit. What would be the point in playing?

"Oh that guy used a potion at the exact time I wanted him to die" "patch it!!"

"This person is farming" "patch it!!"

"This person stole one of my factions scrolls in pvp" "patch it!!"

Not everything is an exploit just because you didn't think of it first lol. Learn to adapt man

I have seen a lot in all my years of online gaming. It's not too hard to file complains from exploits after you have seen a lot of them.

Unless you honestly believe the devs intended us to sit around and farm level 1 pigs for hours on end for clothing materials, It doesn't matter how you try to sugar coat it, justify it, or defend it. This is a textbook example of an exploit.

Ok that's kinda broken...

You see the guy soul assault one? Lol

And those who object are the ones that want to sell wax for 10,000 gold each on console.
Funniest thing is I see people trying to sell stacks of white meat for 1000 gold. lmao

i dont farm, i hate farming. even when I played WoW i never farmed. I was always the poorest person in our guild because i never farmed. I had to do daily quests to earn money to repair my equipment.

but just to let you know, if they had a zoned or even global auction house (i myself would prefer zoned) there is no way people would be able to sell things over priced since they would be posting items against 1000s of people instead of their guild members of 120 people.

not to mention if you are so hurt about having to buy anything for 10k than dont, go out and farm the mats yourself you lazy bumble bee!

FYI,

I have been crafting all my armor, weapons, glyphs and potions for over a year now, gathering my own mats.
Level 50 in all crafts.
I just think some of the scalpers charge ridiculous prices for items they paid very little in effort for.
I sell in three different guilds at reasonable prices but fear scalpers buy and just resell at inflated prices.

But on the other hand stool pigeons are getting old, guess they always wanted to be rental cops or something.
Ratting on farming exploits is lame, if it was a PvP or PvE scoring exploit that would be another thing.

Exactly why I suggest zoned auction houses. Instead of 5 separate guild traders it be a auction house in each main city per zone that is for that zone only. So what you lust in riften only shows in the riften auction house. It will make searching tons easier, it will make prices more on par to what they are actually worth. It's a win win for each side.

I prefer they leave it alone so I can buy this stuff for cheaper due to the flooded market, and avoid having to farm this stuff myself.
