I Have a Question!
Hi all, first of all sorry if i write something wrong, im not english so im bad in write/speak english.
Ok so go on =P Some players, here and in game told me that some minis dropping in price because they are "overfarmed"(in simple words there are a lot of them in game)..for example the Brown Rabbit...Now, yes, this can be true but i dont understand why they drop from "30/45e " to 50k...yes guyz, 50k!!! So i want to understand how possible...every day in kamadan i see ppl spamming WTS Vs/Obsidian Edge , and VS are really overfarmed, you can found them in chest (with services easier to find it) in VSF or in Fow and UW...but price still the same (or just some ectos less) and minis that have a bad drop rate ( my first mini have dropped after 400+ gifts) dropping fast. Im not tryng to do nothing, i just want to know the reasons of this, no more! Thx in advice for all answers! |

Look at your avatar picture. Did you use it to exhibit your most endeared minipet? No you displayed your armor and your items. Like you, most people will want that long before they want any minipet. Because minipets have the least show-off value, all things considered. That increased demand keeps prices up for items and the lack of interest in minipets keeps their price down. With only very very very few minipets being the exception.

as the time goes by, there are more annual pets, as well as nick provides more of them, while less people are interested in buying them (since those who really wanted got them already).

the demand is still high, as it's one of the 'sweetest' and rarest minis out there. gwen is recognisable amongst the community and always wanted, especially by the female part. it's also a good idea for in-game present for someone. still, it's rarer than the brown rabbit and serves also a show-off purpose.

The fluctuation of prices of items in GW isn't always governed by rarity or even demand. Look at how ecto prices surged after Anet announced Shadow Form will be changed in next PvE update. The farming rate or droprate hasn't changed a bit, but still people got all fidgety about it.

As has been said, it is down to the basics of supply and demand.
Supply of some minis (Brown Rabbit) is up, where as the demand of them is down. There is always a high demand for rare skins like the Voltaic Spears etc. and the supply of them is fairly constant unless everyone starts/stops farming. Then the price will change accordingly. So your options are either to hang on in case the demand goes up, or offload now as the supply is only going to increase as time goes on. |

Why does everyone keep saying that the Brown Rabbit is 50k? I will buy everyone's Brown Rabbit for 50k right now, just send me a PM to unload them.
Every day I see at least 1 WTB Brown Rabbit between 25e and 35e |

yeh like some have sadi you can walk into a twona dn show off your chaos gloves and obi armor. You have to have in your possesion a mini to show off, and even if you have it, you might be in kama amd1 and it wont load b/c there are 20 other ppl showing off their minis ;p. so obi armor+chaos gloves+ a VS or some such weapon are always hwoable and you will mroe then likely carry them around. a min.. not so likely.
