And for those of us who actually enjoyed farming at some point, maybe we will go back to it if we don't have to try to fight automated programs who hack terrain, move underground, and are able to gather 24/7. I haven't farmed in at least a year due to the prevalence of bots in pretty much every zone, especially current content. And I really loved farming back in the day.
