I have long held the belief that Star Wars Galaxies Legends’ farming is really good. SWG always needed some proper farming to go with harvesting and milking, and the SWGL devs did an incredible job adding in farming and ranching. The way it’s integrated into the game gives the feel that it could totally be original SOE content; it doesn’t seems as if it’s just tacked on with no effort to blend into the existing world. Plus the farming component ties in perfectly to the chef skill and provides an avenue for crafting plants.

And yet, after the first couple of months, I kinda stopped doing it. It was a lot of work – like so many things in the game – and it required that work every day lest I lose out. It was too much to commit to without much flexibility.

But it’s a genius system, and I don’t think the devs should change it. It’s great for people to have another way to turn time and effort into money. I love that you can play as a full-time gardener now! And I happily pay farmers for their resources. It’s just not for me.

What’s some great MMO content that you still don’t wanna do? Which MMO, what content, why is it good, and why do you avoid it anyway?
