Ahh, but regular players have collectors items, weapon crafters, etc. These greens should be and pretty much are all about the skins. Vanity. That's what farming's all about in GW anyway. If people want these greens, it's because they're cool looking and they should shell out a pretty penny for it.

Hell I run around with 3 collector's staves and Kole's Torment (3k green)... I ain't rich by a long shot, but I think the pretty items, if and when I ever get money, should be high priced.

Regular players should have just as much opportunity to get good looking items as people that farm for hours on end every day.

KamikazeChicken · Jun 17, 2006, 05:16 AM // 05:16

Everyone can get these new green items fairly quickly, and that's how it should be.

Sily Wabbit · Jun 17, 2006, 05:16 AM // 05:16

good logic, a person that puts more time into something and a person that doesn't want to or doesn't have time should get equal rewards.

if only life worked this way, maybe I would actually start passing classes.

This isn't life, this is a game. A game that's meant to be for casual players and hardcore players alike. I'm not complaining about the drop rate or effort you need to put in to get some of these, but the suggestion to make them only in game for a limited amount of time.

Acehigh · Jun 17, 2006, 05:28 AM // 05:28

u guys sure u can get the green rit fan in wajjuun bazaar,cos i went into that area and didnt get a dl,so if u do,makes me wonder if any other areas where u didnt get a dl have greens in too...

Mister O · Jun 17, 2006, 05:51 AM // 05:51

any1 try verata yet? (with no villainy of galrath quest)

i think that's 1 possible place for necro's drop

Mr_T_bot · Jun 17, 2006, 05:59 AM // 05:59

All the stupid things are stuck there not moving, spellbreaker and AoE skills would wipe them out.

The Great Al · Jun 17, 2006, 06:14 AM // 06:14

i just ran around a whole bunch of place tonight, no green drops...but i did it with a few henchies so maybe they could have stolen something

Ineffiable · Jun 17, 2006, 06:33 AM // 06:33

You know why?

All the new stuff anet has added has always been permanent, only the holiday and halloween events were temporary.

Remember back in when the new tombs came out, some people though this was a special event, and it would last only a short while?

So Gaile, wheres the monk love?

that made me laugh

personly i feel that both casual and hardcore players should be on a level playing feild when it comes to dmg and things which is how it is in guildwars i remember back when i used to play diablo 2 and only a few ppl had the highest dmg weapons about but in GW all weapons do the same dmg the only thing that changes is the skins. i also feel that those who play the game for hours each day should get some recognition for it so i am big fan of very rare skins and pets etc. i am wondering however if there might be some planes to bring in some new mods all together what do ppl think about this.

btw off topic question do we have an exact date for when we will be able to buy extra char slots for our account i know its this summer i am just looking for something to narrow it down a bit e.g. month or even date

Yes, we need new mods. We need Sword/Axe/Hammer/Bow/Dagger grips of Grinding. They have a 0.0001% chance to drop, and cause 5 critical hits every time you hit someone. Just, you know, for the farmers.

I also question this. Earlier today I soloed pretty much that whole area minus the deadly monk boss and his buddies! No green drops at all!

I'm not sure what you're getting at, Loki. Are you suggesting that everything in the game be available to all players all the time no matter how much time someone has spent in acquiring said items? You're suggesting that there be no rarity in any drop?

I'm saying that if they remove these greens in a month, and replace them with new ones, it doesn't hurt anyone. In fact, if anything, that would help the casual player. They could then go hunt for a green in their spare time, hold onto it for a month, then sell it when it can't be found anymore. That's neither hardcore nor farming, just simply smart trading.

If they really want a specific green, they can buy it from the multitude of farmers out there that have to lower prices to be competitve with the other farmers, or simply explore for an hour and get their own. These greens are completely available to everyone now, and favors no one.

For the record, I am no farmer. I do from time to time re-explore an area, with hopes that maybe I'll get a good drop. I'm just trying to make a point that I think A-Net made in their design: Max items should be easy to get and affordable to all; however, the most beautiful, detailed, and desired items should be elite and affordable to only those who are lucky or smart enough to acquire wealth, or a money sink to those who farm.
