The 'economy' is fine for the sort of players that now play the game.

May we have a definition of that sort of player? I hope you are not trying to insult people.

Back when superior vigors were worth a furtune, I farmed enough of them to equip all my characters. Just think how much more gold I would have if I sold them then, and purchased the cheaper ones now.

But, as I have said, it's just a game.

So you are saying that all of us fit that category, even those who have been playing since the start? It is quite unfair to make generalized statements and not have any proof to back it up.

Hate to disagree with all of you.

Loot Scaling was strike one.
Zaishen Is strike two.

For lords sake dont make a 3rd.

well, except that most of items lost their value, it didnt really messed it up...

Inscriptions worldwide!
Strike three!
Out!
XDDDD

Inscriptions where added seizing the new system for PvP equipment.
They have been proved better for the game, reducing price spikes a whole lot. Although they reduced the amount of transactions, since it's easier to get a gold re9 than wasting time trading. They should add something like the Xunlai Market to increase the amount of transactions. The more transactions, the better the economy. Trades, trades, trades. The game needs more trades, and faster trading. Not a minute wasted spammin in an outpost or checking auction forums.

Loot scaling was added to decrease the gold bots can get, but that din't worked very good, as you already know. Bots just farm more. At the end, the only thing lootscale does is making almost the same to go in parties than going solo when it comes to drops. That's not very bad, you can stll farm solo for rare items, ol play normally to get 2,000gold/hour in level +20 on average basis.

And finally, Zaishen chest was meant to be a 'Balthazar Faction' sink, while also making all the skins available inscribed.

How can that be bad?

no flamers please.

No, no, no, no, no, no, noooooooooooooooo!!!

Arent the weapons from the chest customised to the player?!!!!! If so, you cant sell them and it has NOO impact at all on the market. If im wrong, its still NOO!

Big f'ing deal that there is an easy way to get rare weapons now and boohoo to the rich players who cant farm them and sell them and make as much money.

Booohooody hoo!

A good 99% of GW items will lose value. Nothing except the rarest of items ever go up (these true rares are beyond the normal player anyway).

The chest just helped the over priced medicore stuff become available to more people.

I'm glad for cheap goods

after an account wipe I can hardly through stacks of ecto at items anymore.

And why PvP-players needs money in the first place? As far as I know they can unlock all fancy weapon and armor skins by playing PvP, even "Forget Me Not" is free if they've just unlocked it.

What economy? lol I haven't bought anything from another player in a year and a half, why would I care what the Zashien chest does to it? I've already gotten some very nice drops from the chest and I think it's a great thing to bring some pve players into PVP or even buy the keys from PVP players. If anything it brought the pve crowd and the pvp crowd together in the fact that the keys can be sold.

Prices are falling on the what I would call common rare drops. But, the chest doesn't drop any greens so those ones that are still rare and hard to get will maintain a higher price. But, with elemental and crystalline swords and other used to be rares dropping out of it, yeah, the prices are falling like rain and that is a good thing since most people don't have a lot of gold. Remember the game is about "skill" not about your wealth in it.

And Tbh i liked when Dyes materials and runes where 2-3 x expensive as now then theres little challenge get better char

Those that paid 100k+e for items want those item to keep those values, even if those values where never unintended to be like that.
Prices where 'fixed' and some people cannot just accept it.

Things like those happen al the time in Stock Exchange.

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what's I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Give you up, give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up
