I farm from time to time, same as I run any other content, and I enjoy it. Calling people a liar for enjoying something you do not is a bit harsh. Not everyone in this world feels or thinks as you do.

Hate to break it to you, Borderline... But some of us REALLY DO enjoy farming.
No joke. We have fun doing it.
What you're saying is absolutely valid, and power to you if you think it's fun. I've got no problem with farming obviously, as I do it myself. I just think it's boring as hell for a vast majority of people who do it, especially for people who do it a lot.
So sure, maybe not everyone who claims to enjoy farming is a liar. Some are just masochists.

Anyone who says they farm because they enjoy it is a liar. There are ways to make it tolerable - personally, I watch TV while I farm because you don't need to pay 100% attention to the game when you do it - but the trade-off you make for the tedium of farming is the faster acquisition of resources, be it XP or inf or whatever. That's the reason why people farm for whatever resources they're farming for.
I've had all of my major characters fully IO'd and levels for months so I don't really have a reason to farm on a regular basis anymore, but I'll do it when I come up with new characters or when friends need to be powerleveled. For me, I'd rather farm and quickly get to 50 and have plenty of resources to trick out my new character than roll up a new alt and level through story arcs/TFs/regular content. IMO most of the built-in content for this game is god awful, but some really fantastic RP campaigns can be created through a combination of AE and custom bases. For that stuff I like to have all my powers unlocked and I don't want to deal with playing an unbuilt character, which is pretty much my main motivation behind farming.- 1

A question for farmers

Open my mind to what? I've already explained that I understand people enjoy it, I just also think those people are crazy. There's no need to get upset over a harmless joke. There's certainly nothing that I've said in this thread that I feel the need to recover from.
