Never Give Up > Never Surrender

Expect to end up on a lot of ignore lists.

Or, you could just quit rhe game. It's obviously no fun for you.

How cute.

Maybe he wants to secretly raise ecto prices, so he can sell his horde of them for a tidy profit.

I don't think that's the only reason to use ectos for cash. They can also be more convenient than cash, if a transaction is more than 100k (the most you can carry in your inventory). Back in the day, I sold a Bortak's Bone Staff for 100K plus 5 ectos. The ectos made the transaction simple and safe for both parties.

Just play the game. If you do spam in different cities about this, you will be laughed at. Put yourself on do not disturb as the pm's will be ridiculing you. Ppl will do w/e they want. It's a game. Those of us who are filthy rich will continue to buy ectos, superior runes or other rare crafting materials. Like me for example I have 102 sapphires + rubies 22 ectos. I have maxed my storage + almost all my characters with gold. So the solution? Buy items that have value. Ppl do trade high end stuff for these crafting materials esp rubies + sapphires which are cheaper than ectos at the moment. Ever try farming?? Just go farm + don't worry about what other ppl are doing. If you dont know how to farm, there's plenty of threads here on various areas and creatures that give you a whole tutorial. If your too lazy that's your problem. It's a game play however you want or just quit. Don't complain about how things aren't fair.

...or avoid the whole mess by playing PvP.

I personally hate the Phantoms in Perdition Rock.

If we all band together and stop going into Perdition Rock, A-Net will be FORCED to remove them from the game. Join me in this worthwhile cause!

I don't think you understand the rooted evil of the situation. The average Guild Wars player is being oppressed because these horders. They lock up enourmous amounts of wealth that should be flowing throughout the game. Then they throw their metaphorical weight around and adjust prices of merchants to suit themselves. I am not talking about an individual who works hard and saves for FoW armor. Im talking about the groups that make accumulating gold a business for real world profit. These are the oppressors. We must Unite. If you still truly disagree with my last statement then you are lost.

Viva la Revolution!!!!!

After reading this post, and looking at the diction of his writing... I'm beginning to feel like this is more of a massively hilarious joke than flamebait. I take my first post back, this is getting hilarious

Here, here! And lets boycott the Dying Nightmares and Coldfires that continue to make my Smite runs take longer!

*Points to his "hoard" of 8 ectos*

I WILL OVERTHROW THE ECONOMY! Viva la anti-revolution!

ShotGunBunny · Feb 15, 2006, 03:18 PM // 15:18

Pretty funny thread here.

I'd like to advise a change of strategy, ban the FoW armor, but you see, after playing Diablo 1 and 2 for years and years i've kinda grown hatefull of grinding/farming, that's why i have this oppinion, and why i think the FoW armors are total bull, you farm yourself to death for something that looks better?

That's exactly what is wrong with today's society, it's all about how it looks hehe.
Oops, now i'll be in with the weird people who are "joining the glorious revolution against the ecto's" we must crush their eb0lness!

Seriously, if you're so upset about the ecto's: QUIT! who the hell do you think you are by demanding the ecto's to be nerfed/banned anyways?

oh and uh, i think Kurt is just trying to sounds cool with "revolution" and all.

Caleb · Feb 15, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

He is in Droknar's district one spamming his nonsense as I type.

Apparently it is ok if we all sell our ecto and hoard sapphires and rubies, he just despises the pink shimmery ectoplasmic snot balls.

Me thinks his brother stole his kickball as a child, and he has a vendetta against all pink round objects. Will prove a severe hinderance to his dating lifestyle when he reaches dating age.

JoeKnowMo · Feb 15, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

*Ahem* And I will buy ectos from you hoarders for less than the merchant price and will then not even sell them to the merchant but put them in the destroy bin in my inventory. That way hundreds of ectos will be completely eliminated from the game. That's much better than boycotting.

I wish there was a destroy bin for posts too.

But...kickballs...are...yellow? :|

The best part is this is written by someone that thinks that Victo's Maul was 100k (closer to 40k) a month ago and can be bought for 25k (closer to 1k) today.

Since you know about companies that are doing this, have you reported them to A-Net? If you really want to do something about this supposed problem, that's what you should be doing. Not whining about honest people who have gotten their wealth by learning how to use their skills to Solo or farm in small parties.

Besides, if you pay attention, you can see the price of ecto dropping every day now. Not because people are hording it, but because there are tons of people who never played in UW doing Tombs runs farming green weapons.

DABhand · Feb 15, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Anyways dont blame the hoarders, its the frogs fault, he sits and controls the ecto drops in Tyria :P

DEATH TO THE FROGGY!

On the other hand, I played Diablo II for 5 years and it only made me love FoW armor even more. I played sorceress, and after fighting a trillion people that think they are 'uber gosu and u r noob rofl' because they can fit 10 thul runes in their armor and wear Luna versus my blizzer sorc, the idea of the highest armor not being any better, but just giving you the status look seems wonderful to me.

I never farmed to death for it, I had fun every step of the way with the antics of me and my guildie monk

BBoy_Manchild · Feb 15, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

i really dont care about the prices of ectos, 85% of FoW armor looks like a last minute rush job to meet a deadline to me, and that 15% that looks really good are on characters i dont use
so you poeple who like looking ugly FARM ON BROTHERS
