I wonder why we call multiple attacks or steals farming . Farming is defined as - the activity or business of growing crops and raising livestock . This is not what we do. Now ravage is defined as - cause severe and extensive damage to. Plundering - the taking of goods by force as a part of a military or political victory . Both of those terms apply more then farming. I also think it just sounds more fun to say I'm going to ravage, plunder and pillage you. Lol
Someone started a petition to change the name to banging or something else. "Help I'm being banged!" "Yeah, I'm just hammering this guy."(<my fav) "I'm being murdered - killed - destroyed - dominated " you get it.
It's called farming Cuz your "farming for gold" the act of repeatedly hitting the same source for gold.
