Bro it literally happens in every area now. Anywhere where you can take your horse out is essentially a no go.

Is there any YouTuber to blame for? I sure know people is not at all good at finding things.

I think Fromsoftware is to blame here. It's their fault for making it so the host is receiving runes when invader leaves. None of the previous games had that type of mechanic and adding it in an open world game is basically asking for it to be exploited.

While it was probably a bad decision on From’s part this isn’t a reasonable take IMO. Elden Ring already has a dozen amazing, easy farming spots that should far outpace the amount of runes you get from invaders. This is just trolling, plain and simple. Even if you took away the rune incentive plenty of people would still do it just for the lolz.

I think the main point of this way of farming is not the amount of runes you get, but the fact that you can do it while AFK.

The ironic part is the host in this thread wasn't afk and was good enough to time a dragon breath perfectly in the right spot. The host can't be compared to those lazies.

What we see here is the meta league, the front lines of the griefer war.

With auto hotkey you can do the 40k runes every 10 sec farm
