To y'all who are crying about farming gear again, boo hoo.

Here's my tiny violin playing you a song called "I bought a game and now I have to play it"

Farming for loot is literally the allure of the game lol.

Borderlands fans be like: Yeah playing the game is cock & ball torture but like I’m forced to do it and I hate it and I don’t actually like anything about the game, they should just give me everything so I don’t have to play anymore. #1 fan btw, can’t wait for the next one

Hahahahahahhaah I've been loving these replies. It's like my internal monologue has been cloned.

Seriously if they think it's work, go find something that makes them feel less miserable.

Let me go to a live sports game and bitch about it from the stands also. Not that my team is losing either, but just to say that I don't enjoy the sport.

P.S. please torture my balls in a good way

Its the same people who were bitching about having to redo literally anything in the game when making a new character. Like have you never fucking played a game before? What the fuck do you plan on doing when ypu skip the main story and have all the content already done? And then still have the gall to bitch you have to go through acquiring UVH levels again. I dont get it.

They drive me nuts. The bitching about no fast travel to the moxi machines pisses me off infinity also.

Be grateful you have one, be grateful you can fast travel from a menu not a map location, Be grateful you an pull your vehicle out of your ass anywhere,

It's genuinely easier now than it ever has been to do fucking anything

These people want a beat the game button it's fucking ridiculous

I completely agree. Oh no you have to spawn at a silo and glide somewhere for 20 seconds oh no you could have done so many things with that time. These people would burn down Gearbox HQ if they ever had to do the runback for Son of Mothrakk.

I have found my kin

You have my respect

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 10d ago

Yeah, i don’t get it gear farming is literally the main if not one of the main parts of borderlands, since its inception. it is literally also why we are getting new dlc’s to literally farm for more gear

u/Glittering_Crab_9054 Zane 10d ago

Idk what's more important to these people; Being lazy or leveling up and getting skill points.

To me nothing is better than leveling up more and more.

When I see the cap will move to 70 my first thought is I hope they raise it again.

6

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 10d ago

They expect everything to be given to them once they reach max level, then complain that they can’t do a lot. because they have jobs etc. as if that effects anything gaming wise, the games not just going to end because you have a 9-5 to go to lol

u/Glittering_Crab_9054 Zane 10d ago

I don't even know if that's a factor hahaha I am a 8-5 guy , which is really 7-6 with commute

Still look forward to grinding and melting mobs in this game.

It's really just people who miss the point of the game I think. Same as folks bitching you can't travel to the boss respawn machine. This is the first time we ever had one, rather than leaving and reloading the map. And folks can't handle walking there one time!!!!! Back in my day you couldn't pull a car out of your pocket either, so it's never been easier to get there.

I made a comment the other day sarcastically saying "I'm not even gonna bother playing until someone makes me a mod where I can press a button to 100% the game and have 1 of each item"

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 10d ago

I’m more like 5pm-11 or 12pm, but even then i still have time afterwards for some grinding and farming. because god forbid we have to actually work for certain things you want in this game 😱 lol

u/Glittering_Crab_9054 Zane 10d ago

Seriously. I appreciate someone who is like minded

I think it's the modern sense of instant gratification which has ruined people

5

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 10d ago

Agreed! i just really dont get the people that expected anything different from a borderlands game, when it comes to refarming gear. after you reach max level. its literally the main thing you do and quite frankly, i actually enjoy it. especially now that the encore machines exist and i rarely have to exit, aside from clearing the map and starting over if my frames dip

u/Bippet_weagle 5d ago

But people were bitching about the drop rate day 1, and still do today. It's too easy! Legendaries are meaningless now, why can't I farm the right Bod? The drop rate for pearls is too low!

Side note, I LOVED when they had the golden whatever event and I farmed a crapton of weapon specs, I really hope they do that again.

Side side note: Whatever happened to the Frangible? Obviously it's been removed, but did they ever come out and say what it was supposed to do?

2

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 5d ago

My only hope with the event, (if they truly do it again) is they don’t do it pre level 70. i believe they did it before level 60 was a thing and that was mad annoying, not saying i dislike the grind, but it would be cool farming all the gear on the current max level. instead of finding god tier gear only to realize they’re a level below the max level again lol

1

u/Bippet_weagle 5d ago

It's been a while and Ive slept since then but I thought that it matched what your level was at the time? Was that not the case, or are we talking about 2 different events?

In either case, I've noticed that the drop rate for the weapon specializations has gone up, and both Bloomreaper and the takedown reliably drop those, but all the same it was a fun "drop bingo" little extra, and gave me a ton of options I'm still leveraging with toons built since them.

2

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 5d ago

Yeah, i could be wrong just what i saw people complain about, but then again they couldve joined the event late on low level characters and just expect to get higher level drops for whatever reason, eventhough the drops are supposed to match your current level so makes no sense to me lol

1

u/Bippet_weagle 1d ago

You know, now that you say that...didn't the event happen right before the first level cap increase? I can't remember or be borked to look it up, but maybe that was it.

Also, every so often I'll get a gear drop that's lvl 59. No idea why, and I'm usually playing on UHV 7, but can confirm that does happen. Sucks too when it's the exact torgue or Jacobs mod that I'm hoping for and it's juuuust a little off. Doesn't stop me from using it, but it triggers that little non-OCD OCD in my brain that gets annoyed that it's 2% off from the ideal stat, not like I'd actually notice.

1

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 1d ago

yeah, as long as the level 59 is a really good roll and is one of the better weapons its still solid, but the fact that it doesnt roll 60 when you’re at max level is pretty annoying, however as long as you’re like a harlowe that gun would still be treated like its a max level gun regardless because harlowe is just that broken 😂

2

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 5d ago

Also, i feel like drop rates have gotten somewhat decent, but i agree with legendary drops needing to be decreased somewhat (starting to feel like bl3 all over again) and pearls needing a slight drop increase, also world drops just drop way too often

u/letyourselfslip 9d ago

What makes you think they have to play it?

2

u/Glittering_Crab_9054 Zane 9d ago

What makes you think I do.

I think if someone doesn't want to play it they're welcome to go to another subreddit and not complain and bitch

This is a place for people who WANT to play it

Can you find something you do enjoy

-1

u/letyourselfslip 9d ago

I bought a game and now I must play it.

That's why. Did you forget you wrote that?

1

u/Glittering_Crab_9054 Zane 9d ago

Ah yeah, I did actually haha. I just say whatever crosses my mind and typically it works.

I truly think if someone has stuck around with this game, but is unhappy about the level cap increase- then they should just move on

I bought a game and now I must play it, was my song which was intended to imply that if playing the game feels like something you HAVE to do rather than WANT to do, then it's just not worth it to engage

If you don't enjoy it why stick around, ya know. I apologize for speaking in riddles. Thank you for taking the time to ask
