This is BS... Anet did want it, as they did want leather farm that was also nerfed... Anet introduced both as they introduced new items that people where not happy about ie "requires lots of leather" - lets make a leather farm - fixed, "Grifin Mount costs 200g" lets make a gold farm..... then people farm too much leather, and leather farm gets nerfed, people farmed too much gold - gold farm gets nerfed ... the problem is created by Anet, to mask another problem created by Anet... People wanting to farm is not the problem! precisely.the problem isnt with farmers, the problem is with anet not being able to design content (in this case, pve maps) that keeps people wanting to play it.and so they go in, and decide for players what they should or shouldnt do.thats basically what it is.Istan was fine after the second nerf, they didnt nerf it because it was too rewarding, as you all know. they nerfed it in an attempt to force people to occupy their dead maps, which are still pretty dead, tbh.again, Anet deciding for the players what they can and cannot enjoy.people (that is, the farmers mainly) have a tendency to go where most profit can be generated, even if that profit is only slightly more compared with other maps, say SW, not because its super overpowered omegalulz money.some people actually ENJOY farming, for the sake of farming....but Anet either doesnt understand this, or do not care.at the end of the day, their last nerf (of istan when they killed it off completely) achieved very little, especially since the introduction of Dragonfall map.at some point they ARE going to nerf that map too, and either make the chests daily, limit the amount of keys that can be generated, or similar.again, not because its extremely rewarding, but because they want to push people to other content, and basically decide what they should enjoy.If they see too many people occupied in DF, thats what theyre going to do.i dont think they will ever realize the mindset of farmers, and what drives them.
