will the price of greens go back to normal?????? i hate when people offering me 500g - 2k for my scar eaters

Opeth11 · Oct 16, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Probably not going to happen, seeing that there are so many more copies of the item out there now.

Supply and Demand, yo!

Jeff Highwind · Oct 16, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Probably the top Canthan green price will be 10k other than the Elite greens out there.

chicks boy · Oct 16, 2006, 12:43 AM // 00:43

wat about scar eater? this guy said its worth 40k - 25k but ppl r offering me for 1k for it????

Jeff Highwind · Oct 16, 2006, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Think about it this way: There are about 1 million players worldwide who play Guild Wars. All these players had the same line of thought and decided to farm the same area over a 72 hour span.

The economy's bound to be destroyed after that. I am just glad I got a Kaolin Accursed for such a good price.

Everything dropped now, there are so many going round it mad

Ghial's Staff is down to 8 - 13k on euro, even then alot aint selling it

Clone · Oct 16, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

I just loved the guy who called me a noob for saying 50k Vera was a bad price. Pathetic. I spammed "WTB: Vera" once and got a guy offering it to me for 10k.

Jeff Highwind · Oct 16, 2006, 12:59 AM // 00:59

I shoulda sold my Gihal for 50k before this event.

Mr_T_bot · Oct 16, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

"Normal price?" You mean the bs price gouging prices for weapons that arn't worth squat?

Crystal Alice · Oct 16, 2006, 01:16 AM // 01:16

i am really frustrated with the drop in prices. i found 2 very nice canthan greens today that were usually high in price and are now worth nothing. if i get a green i can't use (sunreach's shield) i'll sell it. the shield would not be worth selling now because of the green drop weekend. the price for the shield has dropped VERY quickly and people are selling it for 8k.

so overall, i do not like the fact that anet had to make a 3x the chance of greens dropping weekend in cantha. there will be no profit for people who find expensive greens, with prices now slashed in half or in thirds.

the prices will most likely not go back to normal now that everyone has the greens they want from cantha. why would someone now want a 25-40k item which they can get for 1-8k?

anet basically made this event to crash the green prices.

i bet the next to crash will be the golds. so my advice would be to sell your golds now for that nice price of 100k+xx ectos, because the gold items prices are causing people to find 3rd party programs to buy what they want.

It's worth whatever people will pay for it. If 1k is the best you can get then it's worth 1k.

Am I wrong for assuming that the idea behind green weapons is to have a perfect weapon for the casual player?

Am I also wrong in assuming that the casual player doesn't run around in fissure and has lots of money to spend to start with?

And yet, you guys would like the casual player to have the 100k to buy a certain green weapon...

Personally, I'm glad the prices are going down. I'm a casual player and while I did pick up some greens for personal use, the ones that didn't drop, I should be able to pick up at a reasonable price now.

Amen to that. The only people that are getting pissed off here are the ones that have forgotten that this is a GAME. Most people I've seen that charge the rediculous prices are usually very rude and don't seem to want to have fun. May they get so annoyed with this that they leave and make the community a better place

Wahhhhh.
Wahhhh.
Go frak yourself. You people were ruining the economy Arena Net has refused to make more than a half-asses attempt to put a lid on. Now that they do something that is taking a shot at it, you whine that you can't sit around and gouge prices for worthless items. Boo hoo.

PS. The only problem with the event is they didn't triple Tyrian drops as well. And that forgetting previous chapters will eventually kill Guild Wars, mark my words.

Factions must have been LA's black monday lol

Meatloaf_man · Oct 16, 2006, 01:46 AM // 01:46

I do not agree with what you said at all. Why should the players who are not rich and who do not like to farm, go without a good green items because they cannot afford it? Just to make people like you richer?

I find your post arrogant and unfriendly, just because this weekend event did not please you that doesn't mean it should be the same for everybody!
I had the fortune to find good green items that, if not for this event, I vould have never been able to acquire. What I did not need I gave "for free" to my friends.

I think Anet made this event to help casual or poor/needy players to finally get green items, and I sincerely hope they will do the same for gold items.

Please excuse me if my post offended someone!

I believe this was exactly the intent. Look at the timing of the event: 2 weeks before Nightfall goes live. This weekend allowed people to have a better chance of getting the greens that they've wanted since Factions was released, but were unable to get thus far. Then when Nightfall goes live, all of the people whining about not being able to take tens of platinum from the poor will have a new set of greens to farm up and sell to other players for outrageous prices (through spamming their ad in the all channel of course).
