Seriously why would you nerf farms, It only hurts your average player and benefits gold sellers. Lock boxes no longer drop anything 90% of the time? Cannot loot pickpocket targets with only money on loot table? Resist rates for pick pocket are not calculated via hit? Really?
First off you cannot create a blizz like experience stop pretending, Too much information available to ever be able to do that. Many design decisions when I ask myself who these kind of nerfs help I cannot help but see that your gold sellers are only people on winning side. A 5k population on elysium means you could easily up azuregos spawn rates and kazzak or perhaps make world notifications when they spawn to prevent monopolies on them. Also farming for dark runes is pretty fun getting 30 kills an hour because 10-20 people always there.
Just my thoughts best of luck in vanilla scene. I understand most of you will come to the defense of these decisions.
