So with the recent update they added in Books for missions and whatnot.
Well, I completed all missions in Normal Mode and Hard Mode, but the idiot will only fill out one entry in the Hard Mode Book for 100 gold and that's it. Nothing more.
How can I get the rest of this filled out? Do I really have to play every single damn mission again?

in short: yep

The books are non retroactive anet stated this due to a NM +HM book will give you 60k if you get on everytoon it would be a mass amount of money in the system all at once. So they stated they watch the economy closely and decided it would be a bad thing to give people free money because of our super game economy we have right now. /sarcasm

So in short its nice for people who are doing the story and just grab a book but for those who have already done it the tyrian books are worthless.

Books aren't retroactive sadly. Anet feel that if everyone got 10k (or 60k for the fewer players that have HM done) it would break the economy.

That cash is per character doing it too.... I've taken many characters through the campaigns so I'd cream in probably over 300K.... extrapolate that out to the rest of the Guildverse... would be a hell of a lot of extra gold, which might sink some prices a little...

Still would have meant the final 3 destroyer weapons for me to max my hall... ah well farming time...

it wouldn't sink prices, it would raise it if the supply of money people had jumped.

I don't think you quite understand how economy works. It's supply vs. demand. As we have a higher supply of gold (average 300k per account, as one said), we'll have less demand of it. As such, we'll be selling less. If we sell less, people will buy higher to try to get something that's kinda rare (in this case, the items we're not selling because we have enough gold). Eventually, this could last long enough that prices of items rise.

Better example: If you live in the US, you've seen that over the past month and a half, gas has dropped to like half the price it was this past summer. This started when OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) jacked up prices to $4-6 nationwide on us. High prices causes less demand, we go looking for new resources/fuels. As we use gas less, demand decreases further. This causes OPEC to have a surplus of billions of gallons, and they have a higher supply than they need. Because of higher supply, they lower their prices. That's the big drop in gas prices that we've seen recently.

On topic: Yeah, I would like a free 300K + a bajillion faction and rep for my account, but fact is it'd inflate the GW economy for a while (as if it isn't already screwed).

I agree with Enko. You have to consider that the supply and demand of gold is something else than the supply and demand of 'stuff'.

Supply/demand of gold: if gold supply goes up then the 'price' of gold would go down - in real terms interest rates would go down. Of course there are no interest rates in GW.

Supply/demand of 'stuff': if the gold supply goes up then the demand for 'stuff' will go up (people have more gold to spend so they will want to spend it on something). Without more stuff being brought into the economy (same supply) prices of 'stuff' will go up.

Yes, you have to complete every mission again. As others have said, this has already been highly discussed.
