Did the farm change how you collect resources?

[Dhomeli]

I'm just kind of curious to see if the farm changed how other people collect resources as well.

Personally the farm has made me lazy, I go collect resources from the farm on 2-3 of my 90s each day rather than collecting resources out in the world.

In BC, Wrath, and Cata I was a big resource gatherer, flying around going after minerals and herbs all the time.

Am not even using mine, gets annoying after a while.

i use the farm for hard to find resources like golden lotuses, which i sell for gold, and herbs i use to make inks for inscription.

but i gathered windwool cloth, enchanting mats and motes of harmony the old fashioned way by AoE farming the PvP-Npcs in Krasarang, those materials can be collected from npcs much faster than they can be gathered by using the Farms.

I don't really bother with mineral/ore based professions on my characters...

if you want leather i suggest you just go to timeless isle and skin all the corpses of all the animals there.

I never bother doing the old way of farming because I don't find it fun but I love my farm and use it everyday. I enjoy having my little plot of land in the world, plus it's quick and easy cash. Haveta say, I'm looking forward to garrisons.

I used it more at the beginning when Motes where more valuable. I probably visit my farm 2-3 times a month now.

I used to use my farm for Mote of Harmony and of course to farm cooking materials...Things like ores/herbs are collected or bought in AH.

Well, I first primary used it for something to do so I kept doing the dailies for rep with the Tillers. I also used it to get buff food which I currently have over 50 various things currently.

I then started using it for Rep for various factions. I am down to just one rep which I'm about 10k away from completing so it shouldn't take too much longer.

Lastly, I will be using it to help level the various other cooking reps. I've started this already but it will be a bit of a grind.

I do both. The farm cannot supply the quantity of flasks/potions I need weekly for raid and my gems go quick when it takes 25 of them to make a single primal diamond.

time is money , i let farmers do the farming and buy stuff in bulks form ah/trade
