sad times .. are there literally no more area's we can farm ? i know ridosaw stopped playing cos of it and its a reason i stopped as they were nerfing everything .
When you play with a large amount of characters, you will soon find out that, it doesnt matter where you are, as soon as you are killing the mobs in a area, that are "linked", it will trigger a faster respawn, as the game thinks that there are a lot of players killing the mobs, and in order to give players tags, it starts to respawn them faster. This is true for all zones in the game, from classic to bfa.
By linked, i mean: f.ex a area has 16 mobs, when those 16 are dead, it starts to respawn those 16 back to life, slowly but surely. The faster those 16 dies, the faster they will respawn. That is, if the spot hasnt been fixed/nerfed.
So you can literarly ride/fly around from one area to another, if you find mobs that suits you, spread out and start killing, give it 10 minutes, if it doesnt start to respawn quickly (enough for your liking), then move over the next hill and try there. The next possible spot is usually around 300 yards "over there".
It really is that simple.
If you only play with 4-5, unless very lucky, you will have to do some moving around in order to kill enough / trigger the faster respawns. Or you could ofcourse join forces with a random group of 4, so everyone get it a bit easier.
Personally im too lazy to do any moving around when i farm, and i dont want to rely on strangers. So i need a completely stationary farmspot, so i can casually press the buttons while reading books for uni etc. But the downside is i need a large amount of characters to achieve this. Its not cheap.
I believe Ridosaw started early and reaped all the rewards in bfa, remember the prices for everything was insane and also for the boe drops (and mounts). Now these boe drops mean nothing..as you can get crafted 340 ilvl items for a couple k gold nowadays. He most likely got everything he wanted, mount(s) and goldwise, and since 9/10 public spots got nerfed, it made sense to take a break, i know i would, if i was him.
Im doing a lot more than just farming some spots, so thats why im still having "fun". If i was solely relying on my stationary spots though, it would have been with a sour taste as the profits are small compared to last year.
Looking forward to the upcoming patch later, with the new landmasses... new lands.. new mobs and posssible loots to be had.

No, people are having their accounts actioned for standing in place and looking just like a bot. When you look and act like a bot, people report you for looking and acting like a bot—it's incredible how those two things go hand-in-hand.
I will also add that hyper-spawn farming is, without a doubt, unintended gameplay, seeing as Blizzard continues to nerf these areas every time they become popular.
Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

Possible chain of events:
- Player plays game normally.
- Player gets bored.
- Player identifies <something> that yields abnormally high rates of <item>s or gold if farmed rapidly.
- Player tries farming <something>.
- Player experiences boredom but acknowledges the lucrative nature of farming the <something>.
- Player hears about multiboxing.
- Player rubs brain cell 1 against brain cell 2 and *LIGHT BULB* "Hey, if I did this x5 then even if I'm bored I will only have to be bored 20% as long for the same benefit. Plus I can farm better <something>s."
- Player gets more accounts and multiboxing software.
- Player runs over to farm <something> x5.
- Player gets bored 80% faster than with single account.
- Player rubs brain cells together again and *LIGHT BULB* "Hey, I can just stand here and watch Netflix and not even pay attention and just press like 2 keys over and over and be 90% as effective. WIN"
- ...several days later...
- [NEW POST] "Hey so like I'm standing there farming <something> like just pressing buttons and watching Netflix like every1 else rite and then BAM like all my toons are banned even my girlfriend's account I was using and IDK it's crazy man like WTF is Blizzard thinking I pay them so freakin much money a month. Anyone else been banned farming <something>s lately?"
- GOTO 10
Considering the number of forum posts that follow almost the exact same format, it's frankly amazing how many people keep getting onto the same carousel.

Well Corlain Aviary by the falconers was nice, but by the time I started boxing it has been nerfed. That was probably the best spot in the whole game. I did notice a hyperspawn spot at the Tiragarde side of Anglepoint Wharf. In between the building and the ship, right where the bugged seagull is. They are those little mind flayers, so I don't know if they drop anything useful, but they spawn instantly.
