Update – Thursday, August 11

* Improved traders so that they maintain more stable prices and closer spreads between buy and sell prices.

* Improved traders so that traders from all regions (America, Europe, and Korea) now buy and sell from the same stock and charge the same prices.
Whoa...

Heh, just my luck: the first time in a few weeks I decide not to spend all the night after work playing GW, and that's the day when the prices dive. I should have made a prediction last night or something, since I knew I'd be cooling down today.

I just hope some of my friends were playing when it happened and can slip me a few cheap runes...

they are sucking up the gold that was farmed before nerfs. after the reset and alot of gold is sucked up prices will stay lower. since people are on a buying frenzy there will be plenty of a supply for players to buy from each other at fair prices.

I wouldn't say the rich get richer, except that I only have about 6k to my name, and I can finally get the Superiors I need for my Ranger, Mesmer, and Swordsman builds. (and a couple of major vigors to boot)

My guildies made me realise, now that prices through all 3 regions are normalised, why not add traders to the International Districts too? Wouldn't make a difference anymore right?

Was that a server-side update? I was in-game the whole time and didn't get a message about a new build.

Either way..... bliss! And now I'm out of cash, but I'm not complaining.

probably didn't need to update client for this update; all server side update.

I'm guessing you made enormous profit off of this?

I'm fairly sure they changed the drop rates as well. I just got two gold drops in half an hour.

Not sure about others, but I blew 180 plat in short order. I'm guessing others are also spending madly, it's a buyers' market right now.

As for who's turning a profit, no one yet, not in terms of plat anyway. But yes, people who previously couldn't afford some things can now take advantage of the lower prices to get them. So I guess the poor are profiting from this. Unless you mean the poor sod who's trying to sell his black dye for 25 plat after hearing stories of how black is so treasured post-searing.

Heehee, I brought 10 supperior vigors and sold them before anyone notcied. Funny too, I was at draknors forge's arena and I notcied a rune trader there. I didnt notice him before so i decided to buy something, and lo and behold the prices were so cheap. I thought it wa only that one so I brought 10 surperiro vigors and sold them 50k each. Im loaded for life.


Too bad I didnt go for the ectoplasim or dyes. Black dyes are 7k!

Got runes, dyes and rare materials, since I'm not quite rich enough to mass buy ectos (they're back at regular prices anyway). Just at the moment I needed a truck of fur squares they go water cheap. My Ranger was always unlucky, now he was at the right time and at the right place for once
