Professional Farmers

[Concillian]

I've seen people draw the line at "exploit" at different spots, but you draw yours pretty far to the "right". This was a mistake by Blizzard, and it wasn't *that* extreme; and you would punish anyone trying to maximize their profit while not really hurting anyone else? Why is an "exploiter" of this "exploit" any worse than the thousands of other min-maxers?

It has been demonstrated by others earlier in the thread how farmers hurt normal players. I don't think I need to re-iterate the same points that have already been hashed and re-hashed elsewhere in this very thread do I?

How is a farmer or even just a someone looking to pay for a mount to know that drops like these aren't there for the people to do just that? I.e. rewarding those that have an eye to gold over time.

Because Blizzard continually nerfs the easiest farming spots. Hippo feathers, SM drops, and more recently Tyr's hand drops and extreme reduction in the amount of silver dropped by mobs in the SM Graveyard. It's very clear that Blizzard doesn't want this happening, I mean if they wanted to 'reward' people with an "eye for gold over time" would they continually nerf the best 'gold over time' spots?

And in the meantime, it's the farmers and exploiters who benefit most.
