Other t50 Players - Suggestion about making your farms https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=7413.msg80951#msg80951

As many of you know I'm against making farms to just GIVE cards away and a free 50 points. I farm t50 myself and I wish there weren't any freebies around. If you will be making a farm make it BITING. We shouldn't be giving away the rares and score but we should give them a better shot at winning the cards. Pretty much everybody just assumes we will give them farms but they all need to realize it's not a right but a privilege that some of the people in the t50 make farms to help other players. For example, pervepic's pharaoh/SoR deck is perfect, it's a difficult deck to play but if you win you have a high chance of winning an eternity/pharaoh/or SoR.

I am not in the top 50 however I agree with this. biting farms are more fun to play and you people in the top 50 don't HAVE to make us farms at all.

While I am not in the t50, I would like to put in my support for this.  It is more fun actually playing against a deck than just mindlessly click, click, clicking until I can collect a card and some score.  Makes getting that rare, more ... rare, and something to work towards.

I feel sorry for people that were not around when gods were the best farms.
I completely disagree with this, and if I ever get myself to grind enough to reach T50, I will constantly make farms. Farms that are farms, not decks with couple of expensive cards in it.

On the side note, I hope Zanzarino implements decaying system for score.

So you support a system where a player can mindlessly click with their starter deck and get tons of electrum/score and all the rares they could ever want? Because that's what current farms allow.

I admit that I dont do T50 much myself usually, but for the last few days I've been farming it for SoRs. I have no idea where are those TONS of electrum/score as there really arent so many farms out there. What you're saying would be true if all T50 decks were non fighting farms. But they arent. They are in huge minority. Today and yesterday night, I found zero non fighting farms.

Farm decks are live ever since I started playing, which was long time ago. ALL current T50 players benefited from the system. Did it do anything bad for the game except provide more competition? Or did tournaments started to get tougher, so its right time to cut down the influx of new players with decent decks?

My point is, farms are harmless. They dont have big negative impact on the game. I'd also argue that they have positive impact on the game provided how much grinding it takes for a new player to get a decent deck.
I understand that T50 players want to "close down the pipe" to make it harder for others to get on their level, I just dont agree that its good for the game.

Well not all T50 players. There are quite a few of us who put up non-fighting farms the majority of the time. I currently have a fighting farm right now ONLY because of so many requests for SoR's. I would feel a bit uneasy making a non-fighting SoR farm at this time mainly because they are so rare and were only given to those who donated.

In no way is this supposed to 'stop players getting on our level'.  I started when the game started, if I remember correctly there weren't farms at the beginning. Yes, fg's were easier, there was less stuff, but because we started playing earlier and had it a bit easier in the beginning shouldn't mean we have to use the advantage we got for playing as long as we have to make it even easier for those who started later. It's not like we had it all that much easier in the beginning, we've just been playing longer. Yes, I've benefited from the farms as I can't avoid them (I'm not going to vs a farm and get a loss just because I don't like farms). The way the game was designed was meant for the RARES to be....well...RARE. Some players would get the cards from the AI, use them in decks, and others will beat them and win them occasionally, not what it's like now. Now the rares are easy as pie to get, any newbie can farm t50 from day 1 and get RARES. We had to work for them.

I have an intermediate solution: all farms should be bite farms except those providing noobs with the essential pulvy, eternity and green shards, which anybody who has farmed a decent length of time should have an excess of. How's that? Then again, what's so bad about giving them a free 60 points and electrum when some of us would actually donate a lot more of our own electrum to help them if there were a means of transferring stuff?
