Blizzard Fighting Agriculture

A World of Warcraft preview that was mentioned yesterday by Maarten had something really interesting I wanted to point out for some good old discussion. The Blizzard guys are going to be attempting to rid the MMORPG of the glorious past times that so many of us embrace. No item farming or camping. Can you believe that? They are actually working towards eliminating those aspects of the game.

No Camping, no Item Farming: It's being said again by the team -- their top priority is to keep the game moving, not encourage people to sit by bushes waiting to kill a creature holding a specific object. This is the same company that made Diablo II, so they understand the importance of throwing unique objects out into the world, but they also want to balance that with a game that keeps the action flowing.
