Ecto Stacks? - Guild Wars Forums

I was just wondering, how do people have so many ecto stacks? Back when fow/uw were introduced, how often did ectos drop? Were the drop rates like as common as white items and gold coins etc. until they became overfarmed?

"overfarming" does nothing. One persons farm does not effect your droprate at all, it never has, and it never will. With persistance, favor and scrolls, a person could get a stack of ectos in a relatively short time, its not that hard.

Those that have "stacks" of ecto either got some in the form of payment or bought them because they have more then a million gold.

Ryker is indeed correct, I had stacks and none were farmed. All mine were from trading.

Some of them are obtained through a bug though. 100 gc per ecto.
