Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / gaming lingo | | English term or phrase: friend-farming | We hope that with this concept we are able to prevent "friend-farming".
Is this expression also used in German or does a translation exist?

| | Ausbeuterei ("friend-farming") | Explanation:
Farming is all about taking advantage of a resource in an RPG. Say you kill a shopkeeper and steal the money from his shop. After a few minutes, the shopkeeper may regenerate. Then you kill him again and steal his money again. And so on, and so on...after a long time you're rich. Friend farming is the same idea, but usually done with a character that you're playing co-operatively with that can pass on abilities or advantages to you without them receiving any negative affects (like dying, taking damage or losing some of their abilities). I'd almost keep this in English but maybe provide a close translation in brackets to explain to the more general reader that doesn't have deep gaming knowledge. |
