ArenaNet was worried that the less wealthy part of Guild Wars might actually *insert gasp of horror* be able to make cash! Of course they couldn't have such a horrific event, so... it got ArenaNerfed.

Our main problem is that most people have "been there done that" with HM, and getting a full human party together is near impossible. So we're screwed out of good drops by having to carry along 3-4 Heroes just to fill out the party order.
So ANet, make it so that if there is more than 1 human in the party, the drops get much better. I'm tired of seeing the equivalent of cow-crap in "Hard Mode" with its "3x gold drop rate."

What was the req of those Elemental Swords? While vanquishing, I did get a couple of nice skin golds. Their Reqs were so high, they became merchant fodder.

Are you blind kobey? We needed an action house since day 0. We still need it and are still going to need it.
Player to Player trading is dead except for uber unique items, for everything else it is just not worth it to spam and sell it even if you *could* make much more (how much you make depends on wasted time, if farming would give you more per hr then it was a waste).

The reqs were 12 and 13 if I remember correctly, and they did not drop for me, sadly.

Again, rare skin and crappy req. Funny thing is that prices for rare skinned have actually gone down. I've been trying to sell two nice swords (Crennelated and Celestial Sword Req. 9, 15^50, 20/20, +30). They use to sell for 140K to 180K (100K +5e to +10e). Now nobody is bidding on them for 100K.

I average 1 gold drop every 2 minutes or less while farming. Sometimes it's every minute. Hard mode, of course. I have to laugh when I see loot scaling mentioned in the same breath as gold drops. The quality of gold drops is still random, and always has been. By quality, I refer to the requirement and mods. Also, Sundering swords make me cringe. Actually, Sundering makes me cringe, period. It's not high on my list of "good" mods. YMMV
edit: Vanquishing is not for the drops; it's a poor way to find "gold" weapons.

I think they should change the fact that Heros and Henchies steal your treasure.....is especially lame having to buy them upgrades too.
I dunno, my few experiences with groups werent wildly fun or more productive....in fact the biggest turnoff was seeing people in the middle of battles stop to pick up treasure, no better than heros stealing the loot, and worse I'm talkin middle of combat while other team members were fightin for thier lives.
The real issue here is A-net needs to come up with some kind of change for the loot system...everything I can see that they do only makes stuff better for the peeps that have been around the block already and the people who are new get the shaft.

- Have you ever considered that maybe you're either asking ridiculous overprice or no-one wants to buy any sub-par greens? Seriously, if people would understand even the basic things of supply and demand we wouldn't have so many whiners asking for auction house every month. Just because you see green text doesn't mean that the item has any value whatsoever! So you want to see auction house for greens where everything goes for 100g?

I started farming after the nerf so I cant really compare it to anything, but I must say that is pretty poor. I think the nerfing is affecting all the new ppl that are trying to make enough money for cool armors etc. The ppl that were around before the nerf are already filthy rich and have the cool wpns and armors already, not rlly affecting them. So they need to come up with a better idea.
To MIsterB - where the heck do you farm, a gold a minute? -_-

The request for an auction house has been ongoing since day 0, as you mentioned. And after countless request/feedback/complaints etc, its still not implemented.
So what do you think bringing this up again after 2.5years and towards the end of GW will do?
And no, not everybody need it. I have been doing fine without it. Many others too. There are opportunities with or without auction house. It depends on the individual to take advantage of this opportunity or sit there and complain about it.
And who says trading is dead? I trade on and off with mid range items (eternal blade, voltaic spears, non-inscri weapons) and made a nice sum lately, at least enough for me to fund my paragon weapons. If I can do it, I don't see why can't others. And in case you are wondering, I started with only barely 100k and a few ectos few days ago.
If people don't know how to trade, providing an auction house won't help them to sell items for their full potential price.

Somtimes i think it isn't always necessary that we don't get good drops. We might get a rare drop, but we just didn't know its rare.
How many people merched colossal scimitars at the beginning of Nightfall? Not many people know of its rarity or high demand till quite some time.
Same goes for mini pet. One might get a mini-gwen as a birthday present, and didn't like it, and sold for 20k to the next person who WTB.

IME the drops really are much better in human groups. Try it, join a human group to vanquish a zone and only look at the loot you personally get.
