Are you guys talking about farming in general or people were questioning farming for rewards?
Not sure how to quote, but Mike said:
"Second, playing the game changes your deck significantly. The game has a power curve (that is, banes and boons scale with each other). As much as you like the game, you probably won't want your characters to be far ahead of the power curve so that you just destroy everything in your path.
So at the point where you're using a word like "farming," you are dancing close to the curve. Especially if you're cherry-picking scenarios like Local Heroes so that you're less likely to find things that banish cards from your deck. It's not wrong to play that way -- in fact, it can be very fun. But keep in mind that if you discover later scenarios are too easy, that might be why."
So if our group goes through the base game before going to adventure 1 to farm for items not rewards, we will have an easier time plowing through everything in the game since we are near the power curve?
