So to those who want a run I say go for it.. But don't complain about how much it's going to cost you to get someone else to play the game for you.

That I can agree with.
Although, and as someone just said, it's people OFFERING 10k.
In that regard, I would never pay 10k for a Drok run hahahaha.
Maybe 2 ....
Getting yourself there is so much fun though! Well ... when you actually do it.

Its Demand/Supply in simple terms, but the AI did have a influence in price, not saying for the benefit of either side, just look at the ecto's

The enemy AI has been...improved, nerfing aspects of the runs, but i cant justify paying 10k for a runner.

Now im finding it near impossible to find a runner for my Mesmer.

*end of rant*

if 10k is too much, people wont pay it, the people asking 10k wont get business, and their prices will lower.
but, if droks runnign ahs gotten difficult enough towards 10k is the standard price that people are willing to pay to traverse such a difficult run, then so be it.

its not unfair, its economics.

Reason for not charging 10k myself? I wouldnt WANT to have to pay 10k so i wont charge it. Simple

Ok, so run it once with your warrior for 5 customers at 2K a head and then buy yourself a run for your mesmer at 10K. A lot faster than playing through to droks.

Totally agree with ya here. Made a Ranger got to Fire Isles... Made a Necro got to Fire Isles... Then I made a Monk, played thru completely, joined a big guild, unlocked a few other professions on him as secondary. If you asked me to play a Ranger... all i know is B/P, if you asked me to play a Necro... all i know is SS. My monk can adapt and change for any situation. It's like using a playbook in Madden, if you actually use it, and play it thru, you will master it.

On the running however, do NOT complain about price to get run to droks, whether you have 20 characters and just want skills/armor or whether you are new and just want "L337 stuff". If Guild Wars WANTED you to reach Droks before playing thru the game allows you, it would be so. Guild Wars ALLOWS you to reach Droks due to players, so it is their choice as to what the price is.

You still think that completing the game fully with 10 charactars doesn't take much time.

You don't play FoW, UW, or any end game content.

Just changinging secondaries and paying about 20k per profession? About 80k total(for the four other professions)? No, I dont actually, unless you already have ALOT of money.

Why can you not understand this? If you learn from previous experience, and play pretty much as well, or, more likely, better than before, it should take less time than the first. But yes, for some, it will take a long time, but with people(I know theres quite a few out there) who finsihed the game in a week or less, thats about 2-1/2 months for 10 characters, not that bad actually.

Much like PvP, I just can find any interest in it. UW, MAYBE, but only once in awhile, to just kind of "take a look around".

Actually, I DO realize it, but that is a big help to pointing out the differences in our styles of play. I get my enjoyment from the sense of accomplishement, whereas(it seems), you(and others) get it from only playing parts you enjoy.

No I DONT want it to be made impossible, Ive said before, it should have been impossible from the start, but its not going to change. I think youre confusing it with my wish that people wouldnt do it, although its not going to happen.

So, I ask you, since running helps some people to enjoy the game more(it does not matter if you are unable to grasp the amazingly simple concept of how it does that), and has absolutly no negative effect on anyone who decides they do not want to be run, why should running be stopped?[/QUOTE]
If it was so "amazingly simple", then Id probably be running too. I have the same thing with PvP in RPGs. I cant understand its popularity. I play FPS games, but thats the only form of PvP I do.
Wow! Having a really hard time getting this across!

Fastest way to get to Droks without paying high price for runners is to ascend now and reach there.
