With any luck NF will have a new color weapons with a tiny bit increase in dammage or slight mod increase.

Rit Gin dos · Oct 16, 2006, 03:05 AM // 03:05

Wouldnt that defeat the purpose of having no advantage if you bought a certain chapter over another?? Anet has stated that no matter what chapter you own or dont own you would be competive.??

^this would be nice. a new thing to add so more people will be interested in NF. smart idea

fyi, i'm not one of those people who sits on my computer all day and farms for greens. lol. i completely understand why people like the event and are happy about getting their weapons. i probably sound really mean and stuff, but the reason i wanted to get money is for my friend, who is working towards getting his droks armor and then on to his 15k armor from factions.

kurzick and luxon 15ks are not cheap when buying the amber and jadeite..

Greens were meant to be the perfect weapons for the casual/new player to Guildwars, not neccessary the money making tool as many of us think it is. But the mentality is too taken into account to promote players to buy the new chapter.

...while ruining the whole fundamantal element of balance that makes GW what it is, and cause an uproar in the community that would make the numerous complaints about inscriptions -which aren't even implemented yet - look like mail from fanboys.

Smart idea? Really? Really?

Former Ruling · Oct 16, 2006, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Greens are how they should be now :\

Most are in a price range suited for those that really need them, while still saving a few more expensive ones for the wealthy to buy.

The fact that farming them isn't as profitable doesn't stop the flow of farming...During this Weekend while Ghial was selling at horridly lower prices I saw no Decrease in the number of willing farmers in Senji's Corner (these people are willing to 4 man it..why I dont know) I actually saw an increase of course because of the allure of 3x.

Desires · Oct 16, 2006, 05:39 AM // 05:39

All anet did was make green farming pointless. Why would I or anyone waste time killing bosses for hard to sell low profit items when anyone can just uw/fow solo or just do Souther shiverpeak or mission runs. Which is a shame because green farming was less boring then running people.

Narutoscryed · Oct 16, 2006, 05:47 AM // 05:47

i have a small rant about this. many wont agree.. but oh well.

i dont farm greens.. but i can see where all this event crap is heading.. and i dont like it

Pretty much what a-net is doing with these weekend events is making it so that anyone can get anything they want with a ton less work...

i wonder if it ever gets to the point where we can just type in

/need help crystaline sword req 8 15^50 20/20 +30

and it will drop for us.. cause ballence is that importance..

I understand what anets mission is..

make it so that players who never play the game can have the very same items that a few months earlier other players farmed there asses off for.

and all they have to do is destroy the green economy.. or the factions rare economy.. or anything really..
----------------------------------------------

so why play a game that spits in the face of hard work and determination?

why play a game that supports players who choose to not play the game?

why play a game when you know that the few truly rare items in it are soon to be handed to for anyone who wants them..

why play a game that takes the highest level dungeons in the game.. and turns them into crafting material grounds....

why play a game for 1000+ hours when joe blow can buy the game and get the exact same items you have in a few weeks with much less effort.

good question.

Indeed. To me that sounds like the wrong type of GAME for that person to PLAY. I'd might say go play WOW to those kind of people.
But now it looks as if that's no solace anymore.
People on their forums and boards are dismayed that the items they spent hours farming and grinding instances and reputations for different factions for several months to a year are becoming obsolete in the expansion.
They feel their HARD WORK, as you put it as well, is going to waste when the very first new item drops from the lowest expansion mobs overshadow their items formerly-known-as epic.

So yes, why bother PLAYING this sort of GAME. I see no point really.

Phaern Majes · Oct 16, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

I love how noone believes me when I say items are worth what people are willing to pay for them (semi-quote from some dead guy I think). Anyways for example Rago's Flame Wand according to this site's PC threads is worth 20-25k, you know what my guildmate sold it for? Guess....come on guess.... thats right 55k. Seriously these prices aren't set in stone. If you think your item is worth more than the offer don't sell it. I can't count the times I've been called "noob" for turning down low offers, simply because Guru says this, and then 5 minutes later sell it for what I thought it was worth. Ok ok so very few times after only 5 minutes later, but if you're willing to wait for the buyer then hold off on selling to those lowbie offers. Otherwise sell it cheap and don't complain.

Namely if no one sells then the market stops being "flooded" and prices will go up. Again flame away............

Farming is collecting things that have been planted there at some point. Farm groups know what there doing or they don't. After someone figures one of the roles of the group its just reaping cropes repeatively. It's boring, I'd rather use a collectors weapon then pay for some over priced farmed staff to disencourage whide scale farming of boss mobs.

Now to be a dip I'll gladly state that if it drops for me while soloing a boss i'd use it since it does some mob dodging, beating the boss and being something I like hopefully.

good question.

I dare say I don't agree with this at all. I'm somewhat more than a casual player with some 1500+ hrs over the past 12 months. The amount of hard work I've put in has resulted in 6 chars through both campaigns, all cities visited, all primary elite and most non-elite skills unlocked on all chars, a nice variety of perfect (req 9 or less and max dmg) equipment for all of the chars and all of their respective lines of attributes.

All of this means I can join any team build at any of the ingame outposts and thus enjoy playing guild wars to - imo - it's full extent. I would say hard work does pay off.

The bonuses for my hard work does not come in the shape of uber-equipment; it comes in the fact that I can enjoy playing the game with a wider variety of character classes and builds!

It's not like it's hard to make money in this game, provided you put in the time needed. I've farmed, bought and sold tons of "green" equipment and made several million gold by doing so, but I really like the fact that all players are now able to get "perfect" equipment for their chars once they've turned lvl 20. I just turn to other means of making money for my next set of obsidian armor. The obsidian armor and different 15k variants is also a nice bonus; I like them but they're really not necessary.

To me it’s all profit no matter what it sells for, if I am standing around do nothing such as spamming wts xxxx then I am losing money but then to each their own. I wasn’t affected by falling prices before this weekend and I am still not affected by it.

Lourens · Oct 16, 2006, 06:43 AM // 06:43

is it so that all cantha prices of greens are "price from before" :3 or is it way lower? (Since the triple drop rate)

Thx

Sorry but I just have to call you on that one, very stupid idea...whats the point? Anets basis is that eveyone has an equal playing field, why do you need weapons that create unbalance between chapters even if it is tiny.

Back on topic, with new greens or similar *probably* coming out its very unlikely that prices will rise. Sought after greens price should stay stable however because there will be a lack of supply with everyone farming nightfall instead and there should still be demand with the introduction of heros.

Addone_Abaddon · Oct 16, 2006, 06:57 AM // 06:57

I finally got a green I'd been spending ages to get =D

I was farming it for the sake of greens, the pincers that the mantid level 10 guy drops outside of that place in the shing jea island.

lol worth 50 gold.

noocoo · Oct 16, 2006, 07:39 AM // 07:39

The price of green never raised before.
If their price went down, it just down.
So, come to normal price? I don't think so....

WLlama · Oct 16, 2006, 07:48 AM // 07:48

Personally, I 'farm' for greens that I need/want. Unfortunately, due to global farming trends, this can sometimes require a lot of repetitve killing to no avail. This weekend offered an opening to clear off roughly half of my green want list.

Do I mind that the prices of those greens I didn't want (but picked up anyway) went down? Nope. Sure, a few more bucks would be nice sometimes, but most often I lack useful stuff to spend it on anyway.

That all said, I personally like fighting for my own greens so I won't be taking advantage of the buyer's market.

Furthermore, most of these green will probably be dropping in price in two weeks anyway. ANet just helped the trend out a bit early.

Malice Black · Oct 16, 2006, 08:23 AM // 08:23

Simple fact is..greens were never meant to be 100k+ecto weapons, greens are for those that choose not to or are too lazy to farm golds.

Greens have reached their true worth now..absolute f*ck all.
