if you invested money in ecto, you should have known there was always a risk involved, with or without perma SF.

No, there was NEVER a risk investing in ecto. There was nothing to change the price, no risks of the market crashing. Then suddenly SF gets buffed and ecto goes from 5.5k each, to 4.1-4.4k as I see CONSTANTLY now in ToA and Kamadan.

Just FYI, there's a big difference in definition between "hasn't been up until now" and "NEVER". Your post is self-contradictory, fenix.

SF in no way shape or form inhibits your ability to play the game.
Getting gold drops is a perk. Not a game breaker.
If you cant get into groups because youre not SF/Ursan find a good guild that does UW w/o them Plenty exist.

There was ALWAYS something to change the price...US
WE are the ones tat determine the prices.
The problem isnt the builds being used to farm(which by the way there were Chaos Plains solo builds long before buff to SF) its the farmers themselves that are idiots and sell there ectos to trader which lowers the price.
If people would just stop doing that prices would not fall.
Keep trades between players.
And before anyone says no one buys them so I sell them to trader I sold 47 ectos in about 5 minutes at only 300g below trader price to players.

lets nerf.... PERMA-URSAN!!!

oh, ok it doesn't actually exist but I thought I would mention it before someone gets the idea to try it and we have to read about another 100000000 QQ threads about how the economy/game/rainforests are being destroyed by this uber-imba-godmode skill

i'm sorry, did you start playing the game three months ago?

if not, i can't fathom if it's the lapse of memory or lapse of judgment that prevented your mind from assessing the once 12k+ ecto "value" that deflated its way to the endeared 5.5k that you so zealously defend. is shadow form really the sole catalyst of the gradual market "crash" that's witnessed today?

i wasn't aware of the fact that shadow form, or the assassin profession was available before the dawn of factions and yet...i distinctly remember the steady decrease in ecto "value" prior to that day. maybe you can remember something else to QQ about?

Never put all your eggs in one basket...

If you smell a change, adapt.

Go buy armbraces, Z-keys or shards..

The original price drop was because of duping. Did YOU predict that? No. This one was because of a change to SF when they split PvE and PvP. Did YOU predict that? No. Over the last 3 years, yes, ecto has dropped in price. These changes can be attributed to obvious things. Firstly, 55/SS farming. Secondly, duping. Although the first one was obviously going to occur, duping was not. Neither was SF. No one expected you could farm 10 ecto in 20 minutes.

This isn't about my eggs being in one basket. And again, there was no way to 'smell' this change coming.

I had bulk ecto because ecto (as you will know) is used in virtually every trade in Guild Wars. I am not the only one to have their money in ecto, there are lots of us who have been hit by it.

This comes down to the fact that you can farm SO many ecto SO fast. 10e in 20 minutes, is not supposed to be possible. Considering the importance of ecto in the GW market, there should be something done to fix the farm. It's just too easy to do, and there are far too many ecto being pulled out of UW.

So much dumb trolling and spamming. I wish I was a mod sometimes so I could close out these threads myself. It would just be more convienent. /thread reported

Not only is there no suggestion, but there's no chance of having a constructive discussion. Closed.
