A lot of ppl truly believes that farming is good: I have reasons to argue that statement.
ppl say that farming makes u strong at higher lvls, thats not true, farming gives u sp and SP is what makes u really strong, so doesnt matter if u get the SP at low lvl or at high lvl.
When farming u have to lvl down several times (hundres probably depending on how many sp is ur goal) thats the same that grinding for half the price intead of for the entire price. I mean u lose tons of XP in that situation.
The items u get are low lvl thus dont worth anything.
THe sos u get are low lvl thus dont worth as much as a higher lvl (unless SOSun bow =D)
From lvl69-80 there is not skill so u will get extra sp to lvl up old skill u didnt get at the time.
if u are int character with a decent weapon chances are that u 1nuke any mobs of ur lvl, thus the higher u farm the less time u have to farm.
Farming = booring no matter what u can say.
Farming areas = crowded
using tickets to farm = waste of money (here is the explanation) a ticket service will give u two bonusses (XP/SP) if u are farming u are getting 2 SP but u are also getting XP which eventually u will delvl just to farm more, thus wasting the sencond bonuss of the ticket.
my recomendation is simple if u wanna be strong, (this works for pure int, for pure str im no quite sure), lvl up until lvl72 without farming (0lvl gap) offcourse u cannot take all the skills, take a couple of weapon skills, the nuke/imbue and thats it uhmm also grasswalk and phamtom walk) then after lvl72 start farming, since u will lvl up very slow, u have enough time each lvl to pimp ur gear thus gaining stregh from the sp and the gear. plus makking tons of gold.

i hate farming hands down. i just like keeping 9 gaps

hmm....intersting point of veiw
With all my char's I enver have de-lvled my self for the sake of fdarming but unlike most people who farm like 50-150k at lvl 16 then close their gap to lvl I just keep the gap instead of wasting time with de-lvling and being lvl 16 forever

high five

not everybody is farming at lvl 16 ...

and what u saying about places being full with other sp farmes ... well if you level with some mobs, u'll also find other players lvl'ing there.

and there is no need to de lvl ... it's just used cause it works best
There is also no gold ticket needed or a squirel, cause i'm lvl 46 and still going without silk and full str if you have patience and u don't feel the rush to conquer whole the server, just take it slow and u'll get there and u'll enjoy your character even more

The reason people farm at lower levels (16) is because of the high spawnrate at banditarchers, and a farming session for me (4 stacks of HP/MP herbs=8x~4k=32k) gives me 60-100k of gold (-32= 28-68k) and the items that I get is +20k, and atleast 100 wind2 (=200k). So, I'm making money fast, + getting sp. I enjoy farming at lv16

That works, but then from level 1-71 you are weaker than crap. What if you wanna pvp? You'll get owned by everyone who isn't 3 levels below you.

If you are int, it might work, because ints generally lose in pvp anyways, but you can still kill lower levels with your nukes.
If you are str, stick with farming. You don't need to farm as much as int, in fact, if you only farm 10k it'll help you alot (But farming 25k as str seems to be a magic number).

I don't really get the poll, but I voted yes because I think you mean "like it (farming)?"

Sure farming is good for you but who the hell likes it? I sure wish I could.
