Bids over 1750 ectos - Guild Wars Forums

Lawliet Kira · Jun 11, 2008, 03:00 AM // 03:00

When people bid like 4000e, as seen in the high end thread..how would they trade that? Through multiple trades?? Would you really trust someone with taht

sykoone · Jun 11, 2008, 03:05 AM // 03:05

More than likely by using armbraces or some other high value item.

fenix · Jun 11, 2008, 03:15 AM // 03:15

Yeah, probably by buying armbraces with all the ecto over 1500 (1500+armbraces in the trade window)

Kikuta · Jun 11, 2008, 03:15 AM // 03:15

Armbraces. Bidder has to buy them for the trade.

Neo Nugget · Jun 11, 2008, 03:48 AM // 03:48

That, or they are making fake bids.

jonnieboi05 · Jun 11, 2008, 03:58 AM // 03:58

yep. each ambrace = roughly 30e (or 100k+10e).

soooo...

an item that costs 2500e would be *does math*:

1500e+33.333333(infinite) ambraces (or just most likely a flat 1500e+33a xD

Not really, 1750 ecto is hardly a lot of money. 4000e is okay, but even then there are lots with far more.

Heh, 1750e IS a lot of money..

Btw, this question has been asked several times.

Pleikki · Jun 11, 2008, 06:40 AM // 06:40

IDd 1750e is alot of cash cus i never had more then 200e ^^ i allways spent everything..

Washi · Jun 11, 2008, 08:36 AM // 08:36

"alot" is a subjective term, so arguing what is alot and what isn't is kinda stupid.

take_me · Jun 11, 2008, 08:43 AM // 08:43

I guess they'd have to trust each other or maybe use some High End minis which are traded back and forth in exchange for the Ectos, or simply use Armbraces as some already said.

Turtle222 · Jun 11, 2008, 09:38 AM // 09:38

i'm a elite armour junkie, i just cant stop buying them

_Todeshand_ · Jun 11, 2008, 12:02 PM // 12:02

You can trade armbraces, but there are other ways, too

When I sold mah beetle for 3500e last October that was the way we did it:

Buyer gives 750ecto up front.
Buyer gives 1500ecto+Vizu - Seller gives Mini Beetle
Buyer gives 1250ecto - Seller gives Mini Vizu

There are different ways, it depends on what the seller/buyer prefers

rofl, whenever I read this, I can only laugh. When people think, that such ridiculous amounts of super highend items "are ok", which can receive mostly only f**** dupers, very few good honest powertraders and otherwise only farmers with no real life.

When anything in a game costs so much, it can't be good for the games economy and it's a 100% sign therefore, that the game's economy is terribly extreme broken and that is "not okay" >.>

Nothing in the game should cost more than 100 Platin imo, then we could speak of an good economy and not of a game, where when you first look at its market - comes into your mind only the word Money Inflation, where the ingame money has the worth of toilet paper -.-

That is because people do not spend nearly enough on the money sinks conveniently provided by Anet: 9-rings, elite armor, etc.) - go spend everyone!

Seriously: a game intended to give an all-round experience to casual players are bound to make people who play it for 10-12 hours a day obscenely rich. If those people then invest the money in rare stuff, selling those for yet more money their earnings go off the charts.
It is just like real life actually, people go to work for 8 hours a day and spend every dime on food, rent, etc. never getting ahead in all their life. If another man is bright, works for 16 hours a day and then invest the money smartly he becomes a very rich man.
No mystery, nothing broken - just life! And like in real life, the has-nots whine about the rich people!

In reality many of those "rich buggers" should not be envied but pitied - they work all their life, never taking time to savor anything and in the end they can't take their wealth with them.

It hasn't been designed as a casual player game since Prophecies.

Yea, it's relative to what other people in the game have.

Since most people don't have anything like that, it's "a lot". You can make it relative to something else, but I don't think you can make it relative to something more relevant.

Masseur · Jun 11, 2008, 07:33 PM // 19:33

The other way for high end trades is through a broker. People who are known and act as a go between for the two parties.

I Is Special · Jun 11, 2008, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I always thought those trades were done through Forum Moderators.

1 gives all their ectos to the moderator, the other gives the moderator the item being bought, then the moderator gives the items to the correct person.
