That's terrible. That's just flat out terrible. If you're going to stop playing a game because you can't farm (you do NOT need to farm, AT ALL to beat the game), then maybe you shouldn't have been playing it in the first place.

The main problem is that no "Normal RP Player" would pay 10k for each Ecto! Why? Refer to a simple math in quoting myself below!

I would suggest you to answer my questions first, because I've read your post pretty well ! Thanks

To lessen your burden, quoting myself as seen below!

As for balance! Why before the update the price for runes of Superior Vigor/Absorbition would tend to go down and now they tend to hit 100pt.?

Why would Ecto sell 10k and Shards 3k and do you think this is a good "Balanced Price" for these items?

Remember! You would need 120 Globs and 120 Shards to be able craft "FoW Armour Set"

P.S. 120x10.000=1.200.000 Plats (For Ecto) 120x3.500 = 420.000 Plats (For Shards) ! Now if someone would tell me what kind of economy is this?

To conclude this, and a bit of update! I have played GW through all stages back from WPE to BWE's all of them one by one! Never have I seen such a horrible inflation as in this last update. Remember guys, GW traders would offten refer to NPC Traders to sell items: E.G. Runes/Materials/Rare materials.

Example! Just today Obsidian Shard scored another platinum! Actually its 4pt from players and ~5pt(varies) from NPC trader. I dont know how would an horrible inflating economy be called as "BETTER" hence i doubt it would be any better save by a "Miracle Patch".

However, know that this kind of economy is "Artificialy" abused by a huge amount "virtual GOLD" comming from IGE and E-bay. If you haven't noticed this ... i am sorry to say that you dont have any idea whats going on!

Thanks

The economy is growing, I use to see sigils 39K in morning a week ago, now its 43K. Those people that say "sigils use to be 70K what you complaining about 50K" Make me laugh the loudest. I hate people who sell sigils 55K, when there 43K in morning.

I have an idea, stop trading all together, don't sell to other players, don't buy or sell to the NPC traders, only sell drops to the merchants(thereby taking the item out of the game) and keeping what you want to use. This isn't an economic simulator, it's Guild Wars.

Farming, particularly in GW, can be a rather enjoyable activity.
