Looks like quite the nerf!

Well isn't that just brilliant 

Looks like it’s time to quickly abuse PoF for 99.

Everytime I want to start something.. It gets nerfed...
Hunter..
POF..

What's next

PS: You guys better hope I don't wanna do something you guys wanna abuse xp wise, because that'll result in a nerf..
 

Please note: At the time of this post, we're testing these changes to make sure they feel right, so these numbers could change at anytime, should they do so we'll keep you updated!

We've been monitoring the content since release, along with your feedback, and feel like the activity is giving out too much Farming experience - heavily devaluing other training methods.

The proposed changes are bullshit and will only devalue Player Owned Farms. I'm guessing this is because someone recently posted on Reddit that they spent five in-game hours, or around that playtime, getting to 99 farming doing nothing but Player Owned Farm.

Is it fast? Sure, that's quite fast, but that doesn't take into account of all the hours you spend waiting around for said animals to grow up for the XP necessary.

I'm glad people on Reddit are voicing their concerns with Jagex's hypocrisy. I've been itching to play Runescape but now I'm reminded of how fucking stupid and incompetent Jagex can be still are.

how do you get 99 in farming from pof in 5 hours when chickens take like 4 hours to grow and only give 2.5k xp

You don't have to be logged in while waiting for them to grow

so it actually took them weeks/months to get to 99 farming. so why does that mean it needs to be nerfed so badly

Because it isn't Pay-to-win, therefore devalues their overlords profits

Jagex:
We want to balance the game and therefore nerf Player Owned Farm because of one player.


Also Jagex:
Last but not least, the keen ranchers among you will be pleased to hear that Player Owned Farms are getting the following bonuses all throughout the event:

• 10% increased chance of breeding animals
• 5% increased chance of shiny animals
• 10% happiness and health increase from feeding
• Double item yield from harvested animals
• 10% more beans from selling animals
• 10% Increased drop rate of animals from combat
• Honeycombs are 50% more effective when used on animals

Lol I saw this! Face palm 

So what?  These bonuses basically cancel out this nerf or something?

The nerf hasn't happened yet. But jagex proposed the ideas of the above nerfs for the games integrity. Two to three weeks later they make POF even more "OP" for a whole month.

Laughable.
