Uber Golds Update - Guild Wars Forums

Hmmm, ever since the New Update I haven't bought anything from anyone in trade seeing as all the items I get are Perfect or max dmg mod and easy to modify to be perfect 90% of the time. So why do prices on weapons still exceed over 50k or so for perfect weapons? I can understand if there is a rare skin but checking out factions so far nothing is extremely rare like a crystaline or serphent axe in profecies? Anyone got comments on this? o.0

A few things:

People want to pick their skins', even if its not rare.

Many people just trade for everything they get, and dont play pve to get the items.

People buy money off of ebay, and spend it on items

They just want to play pvp, so they go and buy weapons

It will take awhile for everyone to see how much better the drops have gotten. The people that are getting great drops now are reaping the rewards before everyone realizes that there are dozens of perfects of most skins dropping daily.

Soon enough the consumers will see for themselves, and you will see prices stabilize on all but the most rare skins.

ya i haven't been buying stuff from people lately but my thought is the item is advertised at 50k but sold really for less. Also (i forget the thread) that people from different server (europe and asia) sell items different or pay more for different items and then pop up on US server trying to sell it for the same price when US servers are a lot less or a lot more and the prices there advertising is off.

just my 2 cents .... but the price of ectos

Prices will drop eventually. Just sit tight. Sellers are gonna frantically sell their items off for as much as they can for now until the buyers wake up and realize, "Hey! I can farm those myself." or "Hey! Those items aren't rare!" Give it a couple more weeks or so and more people will figure out the rares from the not-so-rares.

if you see a weapon that looks like it will be rare buy it. Ive done that, if you want to inverst nows the time, and its running out quick. Ive done this with a few things but i have learned that most of them are crap.
