10 minutes? Are you not aware of the enviro-kill method there, or just not using it? 10k there shouldn't take more then half a minute.
Anyone else here get to that area in the forest that you use a seal to open?
The guys there give me 1k and 2k souls each and they respawn when you camp. Seems like a bug to get that many souls from a kill. Plus with a campfire right next to the door, I really don't feel like dying matters as much anymore because I can just go get all the souls I want there. 10 minutes there is 10k+ souls easy.

It was just as easy in Demon's Souls. The sword from 4-1 you could get immediately. You could easily dupe anything, and if not, go to 4-2, shoot the guy at the beginning, collect souls, suicide and repeat.
Anyways, was level 35ish or so, just rang the 2nd bell, and my HD got corrupted or something like that. I now get to restart. Yay!
I don't remember anywhere in Demon's Souls where you could farm so much souls in such a short amount of time, or maybe I was lucky enough not to find it..
Yep. Game is partially ruined for me. Souls no longer have any value to me when I have an easy unlimited supply.

300k in 5 minutes. 7k in under a minute. 32k in 1:30. Dupe that 200k soul, and its much quicker. It was just as easy, or easier, in Demon's souls. You've always had an easy, unlimited supply, if you chose to. I'm not sure how something optional can ruin the game. Just don't use it.
You are right. So when I need to farm souls, I should just kill the guys that give 100-300 per kill instead of the ones right around the corner that give me 2k per.
...
Sure, if killing those 2k per ruins the game for you, you should.

I also like to drive 10mph in a 60 zone, and 5mph when I'm late for work.
Argue all you want. It was even easier in Demons Souls. If its seriously that "game breaking", don't do it. Your analogies suck btw. Also, mobs will level up with you, stats diminish, and most weapons that upgrade with stats suck.
Nah my analogies are good.
You can get there fast or slow, both methods involve basically the same process, so obviously you choose the fast option, making the slow option a complete waste of time.
Suggesting people take the slow route because it makes it harder... Right. You may as well tell them not to wear armor or reinforce gear either.
I never said it was game breaking, only that it partially ruined the game for me. I really liked having such a fear or death and having to recover. Maybe later in the game all enemies give 1000+ souls each and item/level cost becomes much higher. I don't know yet, but as it stands, because of the forest farming, I don't care much at all if I die and lose 15k souls.
No amount of grinding will keep you out of all troubles though. Falls, lethals traps, and armor-ignoring enemies with noclip - there isn't an easy mode to this game.
It's like designing a game where you can press "A" 10 times to beat it, or "B" 100 times to beat it. It's really bad design.
Enemies don't scale, however, grinding out levels helps make the game easier. Having to fight a line of like 15 bosses, granted he should have been a mini boss to begin with, gets a little exhausting. More so when they respawn like regular mobs. >_>
I am finding this game no as difficult as Demon's Souls, but I still am enjoying it. I've rung both bells and when into that area and fought that "boss" (lets face it, he was a gimmick boss and so easy to fight...) and am thinking about either following threw "hell" or going to the snake head people place. I think I am around level 54 or so right now.
I think it's great that there are so many ways to exploit the game. The developers obviously put things like this in the game for people that are smart enough to figure it out.
Grinding 99 vit and 99 end will help a lot though. Sure, nothing will make the game "easy" except playing a lot of Demon's Souls. >_> I don't think I've died to a boss three times before beating him. I think he hardest boss so far as been the Asylum demon in the tutorial, and that is only because I had to gouge him to death with my broken sword as a depraved! That hammer was totally not worth it either...
haha I didn't have the patience for it. I stabbed him several times, looked at the damage and left. I guess I gotta do it on a new character or something.
