TZ made a thread on this and I have no clue where it is so I decided to make this thread. Definition of farming: repeated hits over a recurring amount of time The 5-hit rule: hit someone only 5 times maximum per day I've seen this word being misused on world chat and palringo chat that I just felt the need to point this out: FARMING IS NOT HITTING OVER 5 TIMES! Here's an example: Someone hits you 18 times. This is not farming because he doesn't repeatedly hit you over a recurring amount of time. This is disobeying the 5 hit rule. Someone hits you 3 times every hour. This IS farming because he keeps repeating the intervals. He will also eventually break the 5 hit rule. Thanks for your time and use the word correctly now! Thank you Wrathbane for reminding everyone what farming really is. Peace. blumpy, the renegade
Words eventually evolve to match their usage. If the general usage of a word changes, the meaning changes with it. You can tell this is happening when people clearly understand what is being said despite the fact that the literal translation of the words being used contradicts their intent. People spend too much time arguing over what truly constitutes "farming". What is clear is that hitting over 5 is very likely to tick someone off and doing it repeatedly could earn you the title of "clan farm". That said, call it whatever the hell
It seems to often be the case Blumpy - and as happens w/ most slang usage, it's gets the backs up of the elders
Lol just saving myself from being brutally embarrassed by the KaW public when you introduce an argument much better than mine XP
Both of you are correct.. Your statement of what farming is,is true. And Nyns point as the "morphing" of the true meaning used by general public.. So you both can have an ice cream
I ask because the FAQ clearly states farming is hitting repeatedly for profit. If you lose your battles, you are not profiting.
As defined, farming is a repeated hits. So hitting me 3 times is already farming, repeatedly hitting me for 3 times. Thats farming!
Read my wall. Full page of farming complaints some people don't understand an troop unload really isn't farming. Then they retaliate, then I retaliate,.. Etc etc. They stop. Ppl need to stop hitting osfs like crack
