These Guild Wars Game
Update Notes outline the new update to ArenaNet's MMORPG. The update
implements several changes intended to remove the need for "farming" to progress
in the game, while also making it easier to identify players using cheats, bots,
and hacks. On a related note, they also announce the banning of over 100 user
accounts for using bots to farm. The update outlines extensive balance changes
and tweaks, and promises more to come:
We know that some players currently engage in repetitive farming activities for the primary purpose of unlocking skills and items for PvP. Rather than preserving the effectiveness of farming for this purpose, it is our intention to address the larger issue of the need for farming by assessing how players acquire and unlock items, runes, and skills, and then by taking steps to ensure that players can acquire and unlock these things through normal gameplay. We believe that the most effective way to play the game should also be the most fun way to play the game. You can expect to see the first meaningful changes towards this goal next week.
Well that sounds ominous. Oh well, I haven't even played since before E3. After that I just kind of stopped playing WOW and GW and haven't really missed them...
