I remember that Major Vigor was always five to ten times less for only nine less health.

Sorta like now, except now that I run Sab's, I'm not even slightly bothered by having less than maxed health.

What I remeber, and I only learned after the fact, was when Black Dye was worth 30K+ in American Districts and 10K in Europe districts.

A guildie of mine had a freind in Europe and the 2 of them make 1000K in 2 days, each. They then bought a tonne of ectos, driving the price up from 14K to 16K and repeated at least once a week till the economies were balanced. Since then he has been one of the richest players I've ever encountered.

3 Weeks ago he logged off and has yet to return...leaving me to wonder what will become of his massive virtual wealth. He had every mini in the game save Island Guardian and Vizu. He had many R7 swords/wands and some nicely modded gold Crystalines/Dwaven Axes and other rares, though the value of several of them has dropped in recent days it was still a very impressive thing to see a Monk with a Customized perfect R8 Crystaline Sword!

As for myself I spent 200K +100Ectos on 2 of the new items, and they are both worth less than half what I paid less than 3 weeks from the purchase date

ANET at that time gave a fun set of basic player stats including..........
the average player was worth 20Kor less from the ANET logs.

superior absorb at 100K was 5X what the average player had so they were left out
75K for a superior vigor was almost 4X the total gold for most
35K a bargain was almost 2X what most had
15K a bargain was seventy five per cent of what the average player had

it is only worth something if you have the gold to buy it
otherwise it is only window shopping while the small number of rich go in the door and buy.

today is much better for most of us except the hardcore farmer with the cut farm govt subsidy

When Sup Abs was 100k was when I learnt about scamming the hard way, heh. Guy spams 'wts Sup Abs 60k' so I went to buy. He cancelled trade 3 times, on the 4th... I accepted without checking the Sup Hammer he slipped in there :P

So this is a thread looking back into the past? Well, i guess it's better than looking to the future (a.k.a GW2) threads.
