Don't be ridiculous. You bought a year old game and you get year-old-game level support. ANet needs to make a profit so they spend their time and money on generating new products and servicing their latest releases.

They're still selling Prophecies new and pricing hasnt dropped. You don't see that with the 1981 Civic.

Stonereaper, stoneweaver. That's all.

I got nothing, but I didn't farm bosses...I hate Cantha just that much

I think this triple green weekend has been awsome. I've experienced a new way for people to play in a group. I was in a group with three others to farm the Sskai sword and we agreed that each person will get one. I got the first one, then two others each got one. Then I got one again and gave it to the fourth person. A deal's a deal. Everyone stayed, everyone got one.

I think there should be triple green weekends like this every now and then to increase the number of green items going around. So what if the price people are willing to pay for them decreases. I'd rather see these items more and more affordable and available to new gamers and those who don't have much gold.

And I'd like to state my appreciation to the alliance that owns the House zu Heltzer for ferrying people for free to Urgoz, tips being optional. I want to see more and more Urgoz longbows going around. That's right, let's bring the price for the Urgoz Longbow down to 50k(only cause it takes a long time to get one in Urgoz, otherwise I'd say 20k). Seriously. Works for everyone. Maybe not so much for sellers, but so what. Get 50k for it. And buyers can refuse to pay more than that. I say that's a good thing.

I'm disappointed in the alliance that owns Cavalon for doing the opposite in ferrying to the Deep. I wish they would make that one also available to EVERYONE. I doubt they're making a killing in the trade selling items from it anyways.

i hardly farmed greens. Tried the soloable ones a couple times till i got bored with it. Got a Jayne's Staff and Arash' Aegis.

I'm happy now :-)

Linksys · Oct 16, 2006, 10:22 AM // 10:22

That's cool. I got the Ssun's staff thing, Sskai's Sword, and Geoffer's Bulwark. I also got a Snapjaw Powerstone and traded it for a Ssyn's Staff. I got a second Sskai's Sword which I gave to the fourth member of the party who didn't get one yet.

achilles ankle · Oct 16, 2006, 10:45 AM // 10:45

Didnt really play with anyone cept guildy's, moslty solo'd on my sin. Got 2 scar eaters, 2 chkkr's talons, 1 jaynes staff, razortongebow?, some rit staff for channeling and 3 sunreach shields. oh and a woespreader.

Blackhawk · Oct 16, 2006, 12:32 PM // 12:32

Had a great time, met some new people too, got several greens as well so a good weekend really.

Hi,

I went for about a total of 15 runs in Durheim Archives. Of these 4 were for the purpose of getting Sunreach's shield. The others we then for most of the bosses in Mourning Veil.

Results:

1-Sunreach
1-Spiritgarden
1-Chakrams I can remember the name.
I also got
1-set of Gold Dagger's
1-Saphire

Overall quite enjoyable. It was fun to group up and go hunting for a change with real ppl instead of going with henchies. There were lots of ppl at least at Durheim Archives...instead of the 3 or 4 you usually see. Great event ANET!

Well i only farmed zarna and rajazan for their greens.It didnt take long for me to get the 4 Fervors i was after for my casters.but it took me over 15 runs to get Zarnas wrath

Badger2 · Oct 16, 2006, 12:55 PM // 12:55

I have got to be the unluckiest GW player there is. I went out with guildies, pugs and henchies (gasp). I 6 manned, 5 manned, 4 manned and I even tried some 3 man teams. Couldn't bring myself to try solo ( a man has got to know his limitations), but not a single green droped that had my name on it.

Edit
Actually I did get the Purifier. Does anyone even use that thing? And no I'm not a farmer so the so-called farm code doesn't even come into play.

Reks · Oct 16, 2006, 01:20 PM // 13:20

Fairly productive weekend with my limited playtime these days, but overall, it was pretty cool.

2x Jacqui Aegis - 3 attempts
1x Sskai Sword - dropped on first try in 4 attempts
1x Koosun Fire Staff - 10+ attempts, stingy guy

And bought a Ghial Staff for 15k, which is still better than prices a month or so ago, when I saw them go for 35k-40k.

That just fills in a few odds and ends for my characters, so the Heroes will be getting collector items.

Andisa Kalorn · Oct 16, 2006, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Did a lot of soloing this weekend, got not only greens for myself and my heroes, but collector's items for them. I am now ready to equip the 6 heroes of my choice for all my characters.

Got 2 more Sskai's Swords, 5 more Wing's Axes, about 7 Woe Spreaders, Kyril's Fervor, and 2 Wingstorms for the heroes, and Rajazan's Fervor, Sunreaches' Shield, Deeproot's Sorrow, Bazzr's Staff, Kaolin Wand, and Strongroot's Shelter for me.

There's just something much more satisfying about seeing that green you want drop with your name on it, rather than buying it. Unless, of course, it's rare and you're just happy to find someone with it.

Skids · Oct 16, 2006, 01:45 PM // 13:45

I really enjoyed myself. On the whole I was pleasantly surprised that the 3 x chance seemed to actually give results & I got 3 greens despite using hench on 2 of them.

We need more of this. Bin the scroll / XP / crappy weekends and have regular ones giving us something we can use

Yakumo · Oct 16, 2006, 02:10 PM // 14:10

Overall, I was happy with this weekend, and the timing was perfect. Managed to kit out my new Ele, who was forced to complete the game with weapons from 'n00b island'.

Got all the greens I wanted for her, and some others from bosses along the way (my Mesmer is happy with a new staff, which I didn't plan to get).

The only one that wouldn't drop was Koosun's Fire Staff, so I bought it in the end. I was disappointed to not see it drop, but happy to see that someone was selling it before I logged off for the night.

Don't feel so bad. I didn't get crap either. All I wanted was one lousey earth staff. Oh well. Maybe our luck will be better the next green drop weekend which I'm sure will be a while.

DeathByAmor · Oct 16, 2006, 02:19 PM // 14:19

I don't waste time with greens. While everyone was having "fun" farming greens I was chest farming and made around 800k this weekend.

Dr Wu · Oct 16, 2006, 02:32 PM // 14:32

I was just playing the game and got 2 greens (my first)..Falaharns Split Chakrams and Razortongue's Recurve Bow.
I have an archer but no assassin. I wasn't realy impressed with the stats of either one.

Jetdoc · Oct 16, 2006, 02:35 PM // 14:35

I capped 6 more elites and killed another 2 bosses while playing the game, and got a green (the Skill Eater)! Looks like the triple weekend actually worked, seeing that I was around 2 for 50 before...

MasterThrawn · Oct 16, 2006, 02:55 PM // 14:55

I have yet to see Wing's axe drop, and that is what I was trying to get. I can't stand Cantha, so yeah. Also tried for the scar eater a few times, but got in terrible groups - so not very fun. I think I've killed Wing like 50 times now.
