i'm starting a campaign to revive Cursed Shore farming via reddit.
the revolution will start on Jade Quarry and when we are flourishing with success hopefully other servers will catch on.
below is the thread i made on reddit to start getting things going.

Let's get right down to it. I'm sure many of us remember Cursed Shore (Penitent/Shelter/Plinx/Jofast) being THE place to farm until a certain nerf. iirc this nerf included the addition of an escort mission for Jofast, and the rate of which these events spawned being increased. Since then most players turned to the sheepish, rather underwhelming and minimally profitable champ farming.
Consider this: could Cursed Shore farming be more viable and more profitable now than it was back in it's hayday? Anybody who's done Melandru 2nd beacon, Arah secure reinforcements, or Grenth protect phase after the introduction of account-wide magic find knows how ridiculous the drop rate of rares and exotics can be while tagging mobs of Risen.
Champ bags could still be obtained while farming Penitent/Shelter, because if there are enough players champions spawn as a part of the event.
If some believe that the rate of which the events spawn is too far between, then there are even plenty of champions to farm in the meantime (such as the champ Abomination, the Ooze, the one champion Risen guarding the skill point outside of Shelter's, etc.)
I look forward to your guys' thoughts. I firmly believe that if we could somehow herd all the sheep farming in Queensdale/Frostgorge and coax them to graze where the grass is MUCH greener, then we'd all be making a lot more money.
My IGN is Knockout Flow, i play on Jade Quarry, i'm always down to take part in any activities that involve testing this out or gathering people or spreading trashy propoganda or herding sheep.
spread the word and let the deaf-mute, hardly sentient, mindless drones of your server that Cursed Shore is a slopping wet vagina waiting to be violated.
i'm the guy that's gonna make this happen, and that's a pinky promise.
