Has anyone considered the possibility that Anet is destroying the price of ectos on purpose?

I mean GW2 is just round the corner and maybe they are thinking its time some of those goodies that new and not very good players have been unable to reach for so long should now be available to all at more user freindly prices.

After all the reason for this sudden drop in ecto prices is pretty much down to the perma sin build. Well Anet only recently buffed that self same build. Ursans are running wild in both Fow, Uw and DoA and nobody seems interested in stopping that.

Even with a temporary loss of favour I cant see the price in ectos going up to the old rates. So many people have hoarded so many ectos now that its just a matter of time before the bottom drops out of the market completely.

Of course I may be wrong, and you may see your ectos suddenly become worth 5k again soon.

Lets wait and see shall we

I've already sold my ectos while I could for a decent price. TBH I don't see them coming back up to previous prices.

/agree and i also think that anet did this to stop online buying of ectos and in game gold for real money.

Lol hear of ursan? almost a year now dude and they still haven't changed it....

I'll buy that for a dollar. Then again, Ursan didn't directly contribute to ecto prices falling 30% in just a month.

Sell ectos and buy oil and wait for the price to go higher.

Quaker · Jun 27, 2008, 08:13 PM // 20:13

In my experience, other than small up and down bumps, the price of Ectos has been constantly going down. Way back they were 10k+ each, then shortly before EotN they were 7k-ish (average buy/sell), then a while ago they were 5k, now they are less than 5.
But, as I always say - it's just play-money, why worry about it. Buy some more, get yourself FoW armor.

I like that. How many ectos for a barrel?

Keep them, they will likely go up again soon, when (?if) favor runs out and SF gets nerfed. It doesnt make sense to sell now.

Masseur · Jun 28, 2008, 04:32 PM // 16:32

When favor runs out you just use all the dozens of scrolls you got when you were farming or wait a few minutes for favor to come back. So it might slow the drop in price, but that's all since we will have favor except for a few minutes out of every hour.

Give them away to your alliance, that's what I do
