I always assumed that's what all those "Selling lockpicks for 1.25k" spammers were doing. Low profit but huge market...

The Rich aren't getting richer...the poor are getting richer. And so the rich bitch. Will you people realise it's just a game, and grow the sexual-explicit up. Stop acting like whiny 10 year olds who just lost their ball, and begin acting your actual age.

If you're that obsessed, maybe you should either get off GW, or go die somewhere quietly so we don't have to endure your constant complaining about stuff.

I remember working my butt off for my first FoW armor set. It didn't bother me. It still doesn't bother me that people can get it in a couple days now. WHY would it bother me? So I remain leet?

Since when do people play so that other people will marvel at their achievements? Why not playing or buying stuff because you LIKE it, instead of 'cause someone else thinks it's leet? I don't get this. And I see a lot happen.

(Note that I'm not talking to anyone in particular here)

Same opinion as you on that, I buy stuff and armors because I like them, I remember getting my first fow back when ectos were 10-11k and to this day I still don't give a s*** how many players can get it easily now.

I wonder for whom people buy the armors and weapons, themselves or others? Right now the answer I'm seeing is: for others.

Ofcourse it's BAD. geeez...

You would prefer all the armors in game to have the same low cost? Or maybe a creation panel with all armors to choose from popping up after leaving pre Ascalon so everyone can choose a nice looking armor and get it for free?

People who think like that are what continuously ruins the game for years, making it worse and worse.

And do you really think after 3 freakin years prices will stay the same, just think finding a rare weapon from FoW or UW today gets you enough for almost a full fow armor.

Prices of items go down just like in real life. Isn't that how the world turns afterall? new item > expensive > few months and new item gets cheaper due to a newer item > get my point?

Nothing is expensive forever.

Comparison to real life doesn't make much sense here.
Do you know what's the biggest factor that makes prices of things go down in GW?

Overfarm.

There are other factors but they would in no way affect ectos. No new stuff release could ever make ectos obsolete or hurt their strong position but overfarm can. One careless skill update can make a difference nothing else could.

GW economy went down the toilet the day they introduced the loot nerf. Everything that has happened since is a direct consequance. Sure ursan and perma became popular, and of course they are imba and need to be fixed, but there have always been effective farming builds. The loot nerf screwed the game and forced everyone to over farm specific items. It forced everyone to hit an ever decreasing number of areas and removed a massive quantity of game diversity and fun out of the game.

Remove the loot nerf and fix GW, its as simple as that.

What economy? Oh yeah, the economy of video game that losers take too seriously because they think being rich in a game makes you great.

Seriously, anyone who cares about the GW economy is a douche, or worse.

Indeed, that would be ANet, they care about it so much they are prepared to ruin the "game" and "fun" elements to manipulate it to whatever twisted notion of economy they are currently subscribing to.
