Its funny that everyone blames DwG, when any caster spike could do the same. You still need two Monks and a Para. I think it has something to do with all the people that made Rts after the SoS buff. They knew how easy a spirit spammer was, steamrolled through NF, and its the only toon they have in DoA. So its more the fault of SoS than DwG. But I could be wrong.

AlsPals · Jun 23, 2010, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Lol, well, sure. SoS is a problem of its own, but I only say so because it doesnt make the rit a stronger class to play, it just makes any class be able to use the same mundane build with close tot he same efficiency. Reminds me of another. Spirit buff is relevant though.

Shame.

guild wars has always been a "dress up" game. That's why collectors have max weapons r9. The only thing to go after in gw is "dress up" items.

ITT

- People crying because of the easy of getting certain high-end items.
- People crying because there fake money sink is losing value. wont somebody think of the fake economy.
- People complaining about gimmicky builds in PvE........wait that is kind of original; surprised it hasn't received a retarded -way name by now. buttonmashway DwGway, Acmeway; seriously don't these noobs know that gimmicky builds are only meant for PvP and Halls.

tl;dr
Q Q less

Which is why they shouldn't be so easy to collect. I don't say that because I have interest in the value for trade or Epeen, but because easily obtained end-game goods don't keep people engaged, There are simply not enough skins for that. Pokemon:You collect em all and get em to max level, what is there left to do? Nothing. Its about the journey. When the journey is short, there is no appreciation for the end result. It is fine for people who say "I don't care what other people have," but generally, they aren't the people that drive the social aspects of the game due to their nonchalant approach to everything. Some things just have to take some "work."

P.S. Jidai, yous trollin.

this had been happening for months, and you just realize it now? haha. But yeah, if you nerf DwG, someone will put up another caster spike 'way' on pvx with 2 monks, a para, and same thing will repeat. Arms will still keep going down cause people wanna cash in fast,and so casuals are owning you neckbeards hard.

also

u mad?

~This...Spot on.......remember its in NM with full cons...any aoe will work...nerfing dwg will only change the meta to another aoe. SF would work just as well in NM using full cons. It's basically just that PUGs now realize that AoE+NM+cons=braces....not necessarily DwG.

I hate to break it on you, but this is how MMOS work: you work your ass off to get some luxury, but it will always be devaluated later. If you thought you are getting rewards that will keep its worth and point, you were naive.

I took a pretty big break for a while there but when did any "luxury"* skin become not pointless aside from epeen?

"luxury" are just fotm items or am I the only one who remembers when zodiac gear made you the shiz?

aspi · Jun 23, 2010, 11:37 AM // 11:37

Makes me wonder why I should even get them, since they don't have very good stats to begin with? Never got one so not sure there.

Mediocore... Doh What's the definition of that

But its not DWG which is probably not only used by what some say
mediocore players but also by players who get them self
playing by farming elite area's just to keep them self busy after 5 years.

And maybe DGW is used also by people who doesn't have much time to play
but still want to go with the few pugs which are obviously using DWG
which you can't join if you don't have DWG.... and so on.

But as it is.. GW is over 5 years old... who cares about sky high prices.
That doesn't give me more fun ...

gg sir... gg indeed... first torment item i ended up with was a focus for my ele years ago... im still kinda bitter about paying 80ish ecto for that...

but back on point, they'll just keep dropping until a nerf... which will be followed by a small 2-3 ecto spike in their prices followed by the new meta followed by cheaper armbraces, its a fun chain to watch in the already RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up economy

I still don't see how it is bad. Guild Wars is on it's last legs, who cares what people are getting? In 1 year it won't matter anyway...

lishi · Jun 23, 2010, 12:48 PM // 12:48

Anet can nerf dwg, they probably will.

But the ambrace price will keep falling. The dam is broke, people realized that gems are not that hard to get.
