Well if you're cool enough to get a bunch of people to afk at your place and take turns (2 people farm while the others guild chat) the gralats go up faster. I actually still farm, for the guild. I farmed 20k for maybe about half an hour for Arichi so she could get a Wizard hat a while back. It's much quicker for me to farm than the time I could spend on here complaining.

Come back to me when you get more friends to help you farm ;-)
