Swords has been against Self Farming since Earth 2025. This is nothing new.


I've never concidered Market Manipulation/Buyouts in the same league as Self Farming. Self Farming is purely one Individuals way of gaining an advantage. Atleast with Buyouts the entire clan has to work together to gain significant NW.


And yes this does effect swords and every clan on this server. Whether you like to believe it or not.


Without Self Farming, half the netters would not be sitting on over 30k acres. SS/PS's would happen more freely between clans, Ghost Acres would be gained by everyone and not just the self farmers.



Just because there is a way to get to ungodly NW, doesn't mean its the right way. I compare it to finding a bug in a game, and exploiting it for your own personal goals. Thats all Self Farming is...


Whats the different between Self Farming and running a bot?


Both give an individual an unfair advantage against the rest of the players on the server.


Both were not apart of the game designers intentions of how the game should be played.


Both were rarely seen when Earth 2025 FFA was at its peak.


Both were seen as a daily occurance when Earth 2025 FFA was shutdown.
