    Idk if some of these were listed I just kept typing.
    Thank you for posting an accurate definition of "farmer". I think this word's exact meaning is getting lost in translation as we venture into the mobile era of MMOs. A farmer is typically a player who is killing mobs that are trivial in difficulty for a certain item(s). For example, you can farm elite Man Eater for Noble head armor or elite Bloodhammer for a skewer. However, you can't technically farm elite Bael (the one on normal maps), as his spawn rate is random and completely too low. You can hunt for elite Bael, however. The words "farming" and "hunting" are often mixed up; and "hunting" is becoming less utilized now days. Instead of just asking someone "What are you farming?", it really should be "What are you hunting?". Oh well, things change over time, I suppose

    Alrisaia: Add "spawn" to your list, too. Yesterday I said to someone "I have only seen the Challenger spawn twice" and the reply I got was "wats spawn???".
