Obtaining gold isn't fun, and this is a problem.

Yea, I don't use any kind of official open world farming route and I can easily get a few gold if not more from a couple of hours of farming depending on map and how many events and enemies I run into and how many mats I gather. I should mention I very rarely remember to use appropriate boosts either if at all.

 

So less than a gold an hour is suspicious on what they are doing or more likely what they are not doing.

Not a huge problem, except for the super-rare items that cost out the nose to get due to low drop rates, while 'common' items are near worthless due to insufficient sinks. We're only just recently starting to see that get better in Drizzlewood and the annual Zephyrite trade-ins. ..not that cloth and leather ever got a consistent means of acquisition..

 

You seem to have misunderstood. The fun part of the game is playing it. There is no other part.

 

Ask yourself: what are you going to do with the thing you're hunting? Play more of the game. Why is that fun, but playing before having a thing not?

Well, you get about 1g per hour if you're leveling an alt in Queensdale ...

[Kronos.3695]

If you're not levelling or mapping for the first time (and you shouldn't bother about making money), it's literally impossible to make 1g/hr.

Unless, of course, you're afking somewhere and expecting the gold to rain from the sky without playing.

 

This game throws you a lot of gold without having to spend much time or grind, you just have to find your fitting routine and you're good to go.

If I go chop a single tree cluster in malchors leap I make 1g/hour.

go mine all this for more than 1g/hour

Anet has made it so the most efficient way to earn gold is through the only legal rmt, buying gems with money and converting it into gold. The minimum wage in the US is $7.25 USD/hour which translates to 580 gems or ~120 gold per hour.

What do you typically do in the open world? Any specific examples?
