You can't really carry a game in Dota 2 without farming some items, so yes, I quite often do farm.
Do you farm?

i used to farm in games, but i rarely do anymore. now i'm pretty known in my gaming circles for going into areas under-leveled and under-prepared and still coming out clean. because my skill level has advanced enough to where i can do that.
i will when i have to though. though i can't promise i'll enjoy it

I do when I feel I need to.
Most recent example would be Dark Souls - been addicted to the thing since release.
Killing those slime creatures and rats in the depths for large titanite shards and humanity respectively. Thankfully I was able to break up the monotony now and again by being summoned to fight the area boss so that, along with a long playlist helped pass the time.

Yup epecially with Guild Wars 2.
Sure the crafting system is cool but I just hate the stupid material requirement needed to make the next higher level armours. Sure getting 3 vemon sacs is no problem but then it's getting 3 fangs and the next is getting any 8 of those! I forgot to mention that it's 3 per armours parts which is 6 making it 18 altogther therefore I need 64 materials when it come to getting 8.
The mosnter don't drop them all the time therefore if I want the next higher level armour. I got to farm abit as playing the game normally doesn't yeild the amount I needed.

Yup I farm. Gives me fun gameplay to grind for awhile. If I can buy whatever it I've trying to farm for fairly cheap ingame coin though I'll always go that route.
Only if exceptionally bad luck is evident (I farmed up a Dahl Hornet in BL2 since I could not find a fucking corrosive gun to save my life...and kill robots).
Other than that, I try best as I can to avoid it and rely on incidental items/bounties.

No. I consider most farming to be grinding since its often a long period of time you have to farm. If its a short farm, then maybe. Also, EE-I-EE-I-O.
It can be cathartic (I wouldn't say "fun") to grind... to let your mind drift away, just going through the motions, as you enter a state of mental emptiness. Becoming one with the controller, and with the universe...
Then you realize you've got two term papers due tomorrow. XD

I do in the cave after the giant snake in Final Fantasy VII to get everyones limit breaks from having to kill so many enemies... er... but I guess that is grinding, not farming. I did farm Crawmerex forever to find a pearlescent weapon, and when I finally found one it was a shitty launcher.
