This just may be the way i was doing it but it may also be a way past the recent nerf to farming mobs just near the entrance.
From what ive tested in the Gates of Kryta mission if i go down the hill past oink and kill the undead then go in to about the caves and let the group with 2 mesmers kill me then i never get a notice about killing the early mobs too often. However if i just map out and re-enter i get that notice after 2 or 3 runs.
The point is that if you die in a mission it doesnt seem to register you as farming.(Which makes sense.) This wouldnt work on normal soloable areas i dont think but could possibly make farming the drakes of Divinity Coast or anything else.
The other explanation is that every area would have a specific point you must reach before zoning out to prevent it from being farming ill try to test it more right now.

"then i never get a notice about killing the early mobs too often"
....huh? What do you mean you never get a notice? If you farm an area, do you get a notice telling u to stop?

...wow.
I farm Scoundrel's Rise outside of North Kryta Province several times a day. Usually good for 1.5 plat every time. I have never gotten that message. Odd.

Do you just kill all the monsters or only a certain group or type?
it only works if you run in and kill all the Drakes, or all the Giants...Then rezone multiple times

I spent a while yesterday farming drakes from divinity coast and never once was told i was farming them too much even after 57 runs. I never really farmed there very much before though so i have nothing to compare that to.
I did however do about 60 or more runs in kryta and found that if i did the run where i make it to the caves then just warp back to kryta the loots started getting poor after about the 7 or 8th run. But when i died at the caves rather than warp out the drops were far far better. For example my 7th run after warping out i gather roughly 20 bones and 150 gold off of the 10-12 hounds and how ever many warlocks/rangers and ghouls there are. But the average for each time i went ack after dying was at least 1 purple item, 200-300 gold and 60-100 bones. (Also when warping in 10 runs i never found 1 purple) Not to mention getting 1 gold about every 5 runs when i died.
I really need people more expirienced with farming of other mission areas to help test this. As i said i havent got much expirience in farming from missions and dont have much to compare my findings too very easily.

why are people still farming drakes... they drop crap all... they were nurfed a long time ago. there are much better things to farm that drop a lot more.
