Well I have to say that the greens in GW are already pretty easy to get...:> Got Fenrir's second try, got the monk Skale's drop thats on the way to slavers exile after only about 20 runs past him.

Luckily the midterms haven't start yet, not even next week...

The weekend is the best time to storm the dungeon!

Do people always have to complain about these weekends? they aren't really causing you any trouble. they're just a nice little event for those who care. If you don't care then just ignore it.

If it is dungeon chests, I'll be taking the weekend off from playing too.

Ahh... only GW:EN. Bah, a.net does this one week after every time a new chapter/expansion comes out now. I guess they don't want the new greens to hold their price for long at all.

Sounds like a great opportunity to at least grab a couple greens to upgrade some hero weapons.

Unless it has some sort of special mods on it, you can easily remake it with crafter items.

Not with a healing requirement.

Rares give me another ID point, that's why I want those more than greens. Rares also usually sell for more, if they're good (fat chance of getting one of those though). Greens will sell even less after this weekend, when everyone has a Muraki. Not that it affects me.

I'm glad you guys are all high and giggly about it, but what would be nice is a locked chests don't suck ass weekend. Everyone gets happy when those roll around. But it'll be just my luck to get tons of greens that I don't want.

Meh, not really interested in GW:EN greens. Already got basically the only one I'd want (Murakai's Blade). Though, that said, my heros won't complain about getting some more weapons to use (I don't use greens myself...golds FTW). >.>

Because you can't sell those greens for lockpicks to get more golds, amirite?
Cry harder. End Dungeon chests should have been dropping greens more often than golds from the beginning. If I want gold weapons, I'll buy a key and just open a chest. Not trudge through a dungeon for 20 minutes for a *chance* for one gold.

Farm for money, and buy lockpicks. The time it takes to clear a dungeon you could have gotten enough to buy at least 2 lockpicks, which will give you a better chance for an ID point for sure (unless you are using lockpicks in NORMAL MODE EotN, then I have to LOL @ you).

Dungeon chests have a better chance of dropping a rare then you do from spending 1.5k to get one from a chest. I don't want a green everytime I do a dungeon that would be a big waste of time, especially if it's some place like Frostmaws. Seeing as those greens are soon to be worth nothing (nothing being under 20k), and more likely to take up space in my storage than to do any good else where (because I hate using greens).

I don't want to farm for money to buy lockpicks when I can just easily get a rare every 15 minutes from doing a dungeon. 3x the chance of getting a green out of that chest means I'm going to be getting a green everytime I do it. A green that is useless. That's not cool. I rather get a crap rare or an Onyx/Diamond.

All in all though, it doesn't really matter I just like bashing greens.

Whoa really? You mean I am that unlucky? I have done 12 different dungeons now (and a few of those 3-4 times), and I haven't got one green, period. Oh, I got a few onyx and diamonds, and plenty of crappy golds to go around, but not one single effin green. Hell, I haven't got a single green from anywhere since GW:EN was released. Maybe this weekend will give me my first one since Nightfall.

Ungh...

Oh yeah, and what are you complaining about gareth? I mean seriously, you'd rather have +1 on your wisdom title, and ~300g for a merch food gold than 10k+ for a green? To each their own, I guess, but seems like a very silly thing to complain about when you can just go chest farming and get your +1s much quicker.

Nope I rather have +1 on my wisdom title and a Sephis Sword or a Amethyst Shield. Honestly though I complain all the time but no one ever quotes me so I don't know what to tell you. Also the greens I get don't sell, I have to give them away. Magmus' Staff? Who wants that. No one. Arachni's Staff? Who wants that? No one.

If everyone got a rare every 15 minutes, it wouldn't be rare for long.

Most of the rares are crap anyways and you'd be more likely to get Gemstones. But x3 Greens coming from that decreases your chance of getting a good rare, because you'd be more likely to get a green that is merch food.
