Is this the end of scaled farming?

[KingFu]

As someone who has recently gotten into twinking, I am displeased with this as well. I have spent plat on extra character slots and twinking gives me a break from the normal "grind" of end game. Too many aspects of SL are being adapted into PL when nothing was wrong in the first place. Why change aspects of a game which have worked for a year and a half now?

And I should point out that it's the twink farmers whom have stuck with this game and gotten it to the level of popularity it is today.

Agree entirely. I see it as devs are trying to kill twinking without making a ton of people POed, since once one controversial conversation about an update dies down, another patch strikes up another. I mean, they get rid of kills on twinks (not to beat a dead horse), give end game literally all the attention, and now scale farming has become a leech fest. I've spent far too much gold, plat, and time making twinks personally, and I know many others have as well, so I hate seeing stuff like this implemented. Like you said, it's been working for over a year and a half, so idk why they're changing it now:/

This change actually mirrors current world politics. A few (farmers) are willing to work harder that everyone else to make a lot of money. The casual majority looks at that with envy, and wants all the same benefit, without the effort.

But, the farmers are a crafty lot. If there is any way to earn cash, they will figure it out. The casual players will say, "Why are there rich players? I thought that was fixed!". And, STS will have to nerf the game again.

@csb I like it! But most won't lol never bring polotics into a game. Its a trap. Though I agree 100%

Now that my main bird, bear, and mage are all 65, i have nothing to do. (i don't do the final grind level... it's beyond lame).

Normally, I would do the scaled farming while waiting for new levels. It adds variety, and keeps me interested between releases. Besides my 3 mains, I have 9 farmer alts with nothing to do. I wish they had some game content for people willing to work for gold. I guess it's just about leveling, and i'm done when I get to top-1.

Now i'm idle until the next PL release, looking for an alternate game (besides SL - i hit the level limit and never went back).

I'm kinda upset my drops are lv61 and 63, I know the value is potentially higher for lv65 pinks because they are the best and can be crafted. I don't need no short term benefit! Glyph IS my short term benefit, its good enough to survive all the way to 65:/
