Stop making farms. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=16417.msg209860#msg209860

Farms have ruined a part of the game, hunting for rares.

When it was 1.14, I remember myself grinding AI1 to find a second lobotomizer, which was fun.
Now, to get rares, you just have to click top50 and have luck. I know it's unfair, but think at it this way.

Rares are meant to be rare. As now, they're just not buyable, instead of rares.

A fighting farm could still be a good idea. Remember that Top 50 used to be the decks that the 50 best players used, not their collection of rares.

Not to sound rude, but does the fact that you probably have a full rare collection at this time have something to do with that statement?
I also remember that times. I quit playing this game for months bacause of that. It was boring.

I think you'll have a hard time convincing the majority.

I really don't see that many farms on t50 for this to a problem. Now, as for me, why do I put up farms? Because they were helpful when I was new to the game, and my guess is that they will be helpful to others now. Grinding was the least fun part of playing Elements for me, and I'm sure many others feel the same way.

When I'm in T50 early in the week, I ask for farm requests. However, I always bite, since I remember thinking harms were the most fun when I was a beginner. If people want the same charity I was given, I will give it, for I love giving. You have to remember not everyone have time to farm for rares as intensely as many others, and thus it can still take them many months to get them all.

That said, I really don't like the people who act like it's the duty of the top 50 to put up farms. I don't care too much about farms (I still feel like RR does sometimes), but it is certainly not my responsibility to put up farms. Farms are a privilege, not a right.

After the war when I submit again, I will only post farms if they are fully capible PvP decks with rares that the AI can actually use correctly.

T50 should be tough plain and simple.

Meh, I sit on the fence myself. I forget more than anything as to why I am not a Farm or Harm more often. If I do put up a farm, I alternate between biter and donator. I like it to bite because I know I had fun against biters in my day and I like to donate because it makes for more interesting matches in PvP if my opponent can make more decks as a result of having more rares to work with or card to buy from the bazaar. All in all, I never feel it's my responsibility or duty to put up a Farm or Harm, but I do feel charitable from time to time ;)

In my first two weeks of playing I had at least 2 of every rare (6+ of half), 18 SoGs and 6 of the other shards...
I went from AI1 - AI2 - Top50 - False Gods.. (never did any grinding)

I'm in the slightest ungrateful for the farms (the eight versions of certain farms in top50 made a big impact) but maybe its not quite the experience others older players had.. With my first deck, it got better stats against Top50 than ai3, so I played their till I could afford an FG farmer.

But in 2 weeks I skipped to FG farming because I already had all the rares... pretty different experience to what RR is talking about.. maybe rare cards should be a bit more rare..

You will have a tough time convincing people it’s fun to be grinding AI1. Most people don’t have unlimited time and appreciate farms.

It's easy for you to say 'stop putting up farms' now that you have everything. Maybe you had a hard time getting them. Maybe it took hours. But does everyone need to share the same experience with you? Was it that much fun for you to grind AIs to get the rares?

You gotta be kidding me.

Couldn't have said it better. So kids, beware if you see me in Top50, I'm gonna bite, and when I bite, I bite HARD! >:D

PS. Miracle/SoR Harm coming next.
