Any fast ways to get money? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

I will agree with the treatment of the noobs. Also agree that the new people being well behind the 8 ball.

But what they don't know generally doesn't hurt them I guess. Unfortuantely people offering the "uber" weapons obviously whets people's appetities. So they want one too, it is only natural.

The thing is making money these days is a lot more difficult. But it still can be done. You will have to grind, which is something the game is supposed to eliminate. But being uber rich and having 4 sets of fissure armor and the like wasn't an original aim either. So take it for that.

Basically find the highest level monsters you can solo alone with no henches and take it from there. Buy some keys and hope for some decent chest drops.

On a side note and the sigils. Can't believe they are that high still. I see dozens of people selling guildhalls with capes and the whole nine yards daily for 10-25K somone auctioned one off and sold for 1100 gold a week or so ago. Either they have multiple accounts or are just bored and are quitting. But either way, winning tombs isn't all that easy. A lot easier for most people to famr and get a guaranteed pay off. Especially when you are not on an elite PvP team.

They will never seperate the two sides of the game, but the two sides should also know that their respective side is basically a whole different game. I surely would not offer advice to a PvPer. I also wouldn't expect a PvPer to understand the PvE side and the little things that are involved there.

I'm just tired of the same old thing over and over with some people. I give up. I'm sick of being the bad guy here. I'm almost sic of the game as a whole. If it wasn't for the beta at the moment I doubt I would be playing at all. If I were a new person coming in and seeing the game the way it is right now, I would play a grand total of a week before throwing it in the trash. especially with the attitude everyone gives a new person to the game.

I don't know what's going on here.
But seems like this shield would do you good.

I would give it to you, but too bad I sold it to the merchant.

well thats kinda hard because once you get that far you wont have the necessary materials for the armor because youll have to buy expert salvage kits... and then you have to pay to open a storage vault.... and if you dont do that and save everything till that point.... you will then not have room in your bags for stuff that can get you money just because your saving for materials.... therefor buying abosolutely nothing is out of the question IMO.... i say buy the bare necessities such as a storage vault and salvage kits.... and keys as that can get you some GOOD stuff... ohhh and another good thing to do.... expert salvage the purple weapons you get (cept for wands cestas truncheons and canes) unless theyre max... and when you get a weapon mod out of it apply it to a better weapon and go sell it.... obviously to a player seeing as weapons dont go for much with the merchants.... and instead of using dyes sell them to the trader or another player as you can typically get good prices there if you do.... so all i can say is play smart save your money buy only what you need to get what later on and only upgrade armor at three points.... ascalon, quarrel falls, and droks

if you never upgrade your armor you die way to easily... going up against monsters in the desert with presear armor is just plain stupid....

I'd say most of the money I've wasted has been on dyes, which is silly. Don't know why they have to be so expensive, particularly when you can't test them on your stuff first. Anyway, don't do that ^.

So I'll continue to report the gold retailers for as long as arenanet wants me too. if they want to bitch about it. I don't care. I'm doing the right thing for everyone. Not just the jerks that take advantage of an exploitable system.

well i cant see y anyone would hate you for that seeing as your only trying to help.... but im sure everyone should pay more attention as you have some good things to say.... as for selling stuff me i never sell anything i find in game and cant use.... i ALWAYS give it away... i mean if i wanted to i could mimic every other player in the game who sells weapons and mods and demand outrageous prices and call ppl n00bs for not buying them when they see how crappy the weapon really is but i prefer the good feeling of generosity.... im not interested in extreme wealth and beating everybody in how much money i have.... i olnly want to beat everyone at pvp

j/k honestly though i can see where your coming from and if i get hated because of it so be it im not gonna sit here and let someone get mistreated just for expressing themselves thats just a load of b.s.

This is the only thread I've ever read one of your posts (or maybe others just didn't stand out for me) but the problem throughout this entire thread is you have a "holier than thou" underlying tone to everything you write.
