It's the fallout from rewards.

The first thing most PvP players I know wanted to unlock was that rune.

If you have nothing unlocked it's only 3500 faction points.

It's almost nothing if you already have major unlocked. One night of GvG and you're done.

I don't know if it's just a matter of who happens to be around when you are and what district you're sitting in or what. Maybe an auction would be a better option instead of trying to sell IG?

Its like that in real life, why should I pay £500 for that sofa, when I can wait 2 weeks for the sale and get it for £300.
Nobody will buy things if they are priced too high, even if you are selling cheaper than the trader. Simple as that. The actual trader system inplace works of the ammount of runes available, i.e. the more they have the cheaper they are to buy. (the more players have sold to them the lower they buy / sell for.)
If you all really want to drive the prices up you would need everyone never to sell to traders. But the effect of this would mean traders prices would be sky high, and you run the risk of the majority just not buying as it is just not worth it.
Personally I would never pay more than 4 plat for any item. For weapons it would have to be something really special to pay more than 1 plat for. It is too easy to find stuff in game. In fact it is easier to find the stuff than it is to save up the 40 plat that some times is asked for.

I guess you changed guilds from your avator, because your guild isn't even ranked.

My guild is friendly base guild, not rating hungry. But I bet those guilds that are top made it there facing other newbie guilds, and loss to other strong guilds.

I had a really nice selection of minor runes, couldnt give them away neither, so I tried to flog a job lot 10 for 1K (merchant price nearly double). The grief I had from people wanting to see *each* one, I nearly cried.

[Nu] wouldn't be hard to beat, anymore, as most of them have ditched Guild Wars. Sissy Boys would put up enough of a fight, though.

Got one for 38k yesterday, guess I'm just lucky.

Many Nu ditched? That's not what I heard. But if you mean they're on holiday, well, summer strikes guilds hard.

Basing on some days ago, they're still one of the most difficult Guilds to beat.

Go back to being a clueless nub quazong.

Don't bother reading his posts, he's full of shit. I've never seen Team Union in tombs (I believe they're a GvG-only guild) and ZPZG is usually pugging or otherwise just messing around in tombs. Neither guild takes the tournament seriously.

The problem is they completely broke the trader's. The traders used to give you a fairly decent cut, but now they give you almost nothing for a rune. For a rune that sells for 2000 you are lucky to get 500 from the trader. Thus no one sells to the trader anymore. They need to change what the trader gives players so people sell to him like when he was originally implemented.

The other problem is you are selling it in lion's arch, home of clueless idiots. People would rather buy the chance to get a superior vigor rune (for 5k a try) than a superior vigor rune.

I played vs. Nu once... four of my teammembers went down in the first 2 minutes, then they put up frozen soil. GG.

Thats not exactly whats going on, its more like we're (Nu) idling until theres a patch. Right now Tombs is just broken, spirit spam makes the game retardedly boring.

And there are so many smurf guilds in gvg its equally retarded. We played Uni's smurf the other day, if we won we would have earned 3 rating, but we lost so we lost 25 rating. So lame.

I just throw the runes into my trash icon...they're useless.
