just started the whole "make npc towns and farm them like crazy" yesterday. I am on server 8 which is less than a week old.

I am delighted that npc farming has been nerfed. It was ridiculously profitable. Plus it required constant attention which drives me nuts.

20 npc towns at average 50K gold an hour equaled 1 million gold per hour, (or 24 million gold a day if you never slept) in a one week old server.

Game breaking.

Now we have to actually play the game instead of just farming.

And weak players are supposed to be attacked, not ignored.
