I don't get to either farming is denied as easily getting something very easy it takes no effort Hitting someone requires to you be constantly unloading every 5mins using pots and or spells which when you think about it can put the person out of pocket On the other hand hitting inactive accounts n eb should be classed as farming because you know they won't hit back and you will get a huge amount if gold at the end of it Pvp only gets a ally hire and and noob rage/tears the ally that is hired after the pvp can just as well = the amount if pots you burnt trying to hit the noob
farm- : to collect and take the fees or profits of (an occupation or business) on payment of a fixed sum
Actually this isnt the only game where "farming" is a term but I do know that the term "farming" has been around since the begining of THIS game
