Wow, how so totally wrong you are... I've been playing since about five days after GW was released, and do I have loads of cash/mats/etc. and am a PvP expert or anything? Hell no. I only have one lvl 20 character who hasn't even finished the game. I 've got a couple more characters that are above level ten, plus a slot I keep open for screwing around with PvP (which is basically just whenever my guild feels like doing a GvG or trying Tombs). Am I upset over this new update? Hell no. Quite frankly, I could care less. Do I love the game, even without qualifying under your "requirements" for being a game lover? Hell YES. I picked up WoW last week; does that mean I'm going to stop playing GW? No way. Now I have two RPGs I can seriously enjoy

Take a chill pill dude... play the game as it's meant to be: A GAME, not some "omg I have to be teh rich3st d00d of tem all!!!11!!one!one1!" environment like it seems you and those who share your thoughts apparently believe it is...

again, like some have said before, the econ would be much better, affordable and less frustrating if the traders didnt sold out on items.

out of curiosity to see if i could get them i tried the rare materials trader and got

7 ecto @ 9k
9 rubys @4+k
5 saphires at just over 3 k

looks like some people are starting to put them into the traders now

lets see what happens

Well I learned one thing, I guess black dye is supposed to be super rare. I guess I shouldn't have dyed my 30 armor robe from Yaks on my elementalist with the vial I got advneturing Lol. I am supposed to hold it for my best armor at the end I suppose right?

More propaganda for another game. go away... if you dont like the game go play with yourself in another and leave us alone... this people that hoarded all the items are soon to find NO ONE will buy from them and will be forced to resell the items to the traders. this has happened befrore. it will happen again. Only the most desprate should bother doing business with non NPCs... after all arenanet periodically injects more inventory in the traders, you just have to be there when it happens... Now it will likely happen more often since it world based inventories, and not just region based...

Although I've taken a break from the game for similar reasons - I will be back at some point. The recent adjustment to the GW economy will only have a transient effect on the players and the game as a whole. In the end it was necessary.

So if you despise GW that much then just go. By posting your rants it seems like you're looking for our approval. So you have our blessing. Watch out for the screen door on your way out.

People complaining about this are fools.

The simple fact is the economy was going to crap in a handbag, in about 2 weeks time many items had gone from 5k to 60k in value, I don't care if some rich fools are willing to pay that or someone wants to farm for weeks to save up but this trend would only continue to get worse and worse and in due time no one except the richest of richest who have been leeching off other players for months now are only who can afford anything.

This game is made for players, this game is made to be fun, not ever time consuming like most modern MMO's these days are. They dont want you to have to spend a lifetime to earn that 1 l33t item you been craving. The design of this game is made so any player casual or hardcore can actually get their hands on the items avalable within reasonable time.

Basic fact is that if you are one of the people that is pissed off about the totally obvious RAPE prices we had before dropping nwo to reasonable levels, then you were one of the peopel doing the raping. Because seriously, 7k is a decent amount of $ and still takes some work, that is a lot for a black dye .. but due to low stock it seems reasonable, but freaking 40k raise in less than 2 weeks, not to mention same with runes and even stuf like blue dye hitting 2k !!

give ... me ... a ... break

this game is made to be fun, not ever time consuming for the most menial tasks, remember that and if you dont like that, then go play FFXI as that will be sure to take you plenty of years to get anything accomplished.

I agree I was upset the hoarders bought out the market as well. solution. Never buy from players.. AND never sell to players. only deal with NPCs, and eventually they will have no choice but to resell to the traders (the last update made it much more profitable to resale to NPCs, that was part of the fix.). Also please remember that every few days in the early morning hours the traders get injections of fresh inventory to replenish out of stock items. Especially those in high demand. BUT that being said its now one trader market. not region as it was in the past... so its harder to lock down the injection times for buying. the hoarders have this down to a art form. But again... IF no one buys from them they will have no choice but to sell back to the traders forcing the price down. Yes its unfortunate that it takes so long to happen.. but it will stabilize eventually... AS LONG as people do this... I have been saying this on every forums I can find and it is often heavily agreed on... It will happen...

Also note... Many of THESE people work for companies that resell game gold and items for real money. and Anet is VERY interested in locking these people out of their game. so eventually they too will be dealt with.

Look for more NPC purchase options in upcoming releases. one I think many will like is the WeaponCrafter upgrades. yes you have to customize the weapon to get those nifty hilts and strings from them... But its worth it if you have been spending months looking for them and are unwilling to pay 100k for a 5:1 vampiric Or Fiery Hilts as the market has been recently abused with these coveted upgrades.

Hmmm... looks like what I've pretty much always done, with a few rare exceptions

Settle down people.

Take deep breaths, and repeat any one or all of the following either to yourself or the people freaking out near you:

Video game.
Not important.
Meant to be entertaining.
GP do not have any value.
GP are one step away from being imaginary.
Time != money in a game.
Time spent making game money should be FUN or you're doing it wrong.

This is something I don't understand, at all. If they were posting how serious the problem was, on a, say, General Discussion board which had a theme revolving around world affairs, then this type of reply would be necessary. But what you are doing is taking the complaints of several people, who all posted them in the correct forum, under the context of video game discussion, and you told them they were taking a video game too seriously.

Is all talk of fixing this game forbidden to you, in fear of "caring too much" about the game, so therefore it shouldn't be improved? I don't see what the reason behind this post is...

You're on a Guild Wars message board, telling people they care too much about Guild Wars?

....Incredible.

I think it sucks because they say this game is for "Skill" only, and the people without skill dont like it and quit. This game is basically a Diablo2, except it more of PvP while Diablo2 is more of show. I just wish armor you can wear drops instead of you buying for it.

Yeah, buying for it does add hour-grinding to the game that is probably unnecessary. The first time I saw an armor drop that read "Armor: #" from a Charr, shortly after post-searing, I was expecting to simply apply it to my character and wear it, graphics included.

I'm actually curious if that was an intended concept from the GW development team... as in, if armor is displayed only AFTER a kill on a monster, what is the point of displaying it? It doesn't do anything but show you how powerful the monster WAS, and how powerful a monster WAS doesn't really help your killing...since he's already dead.

I'd like to be able to apply armor on the spot, and perhaps make armor drops alot more rare than they are now.. similar to being able to salvage a rune that can be applied while on an instanced mission. That way, players could be hunting monsters for a majority of the time played, rather than spending half their time in towns, playing the trading game. I must say, there are some people who may enjoy such a mini-game, but my favorite aspect of Guild Wars is actually slaying opponents; not conversing with allies.

I kind of like cusing in HoH 6 team free for all, thats what I do when I'm bored.
