Well, some people actually like venturing through dungeons without farming.

Okay, my ign is Dooglash Sontoosh, I'm on at all hours of the day, I take all forms of payment, but prefer gw gold.
Oh, and on your idea, isnt part of the game to farm and sell for money, or why else would anet have it?

Me thinks OP doesnt know prices and sold an eternal blade for 20k or something.

Trading is bad. Poor noobs like me who only make 2k an hour farming (cus we are dip$hits) are getting scammed by power traders. Us farmers should get crystallines and ecto's every run to even it up!

The expensive l33t weaps are going down. I remember getting my torment scythe a couple months back for 100k+35e. Now they're around 100k+10e. ya got it backwards lol

lmao this is the most hilarious topic I've ever seen in the history of my forum life, and not just GuildWarsGuru, I'm talking about everywhere.

This would solve nothing. People would just use different items as currency. What if you like to play in the UW? Not to farms of course, god forbid, but because you like those big adventures with your friend. You get an ecto drop, but have no use for it. What do you do? Well, can't sell it or give it to a friend even if they needed it, guess you have to sell it to the trader for a pitiful amount.

Because farming and grinding is just as repetitive and boring as powertrading, might as well have one that makes good money.

Why anyone would want to buy anything from another player in this game is completely beyond me.

That's about all I can agree with, some people farm and are happy with the 15k/h they get, others think a little and earn 100k/h. No one is stopping you from trading, you're choosing not to and are trying to stop those that already trade.

Prices are going down as time goes by more people are getting better and farther in the game gaining many items for themselves or the ability to trade for them. Theres a few super rich that keep a few items very costly because theres few of the items to go around except among other super rich but who cares either find the item you want get super rich and buy it or forget about it its just a graphic after all,in most cases nothing really extra beneficial about them.

Trade is great it allows people to buy/trade for things they dont want to spend hours on end trying to get and still may never get what they are trying to farm.
The demo version of Guild Wars blocks trade after paying well over a hundred dollars for the game I dont want to pay that much for the demo.

The main problem with trade is the spam on all chat channels I suggest anyone doing any excessive trading on any chat channel other than the trade channel be set to ignore (even guild and alliance after a warning)and definitely don't buy from them no matter how badly you want the item that just encourages more spam. Buy or sell the things you want from a good trader.

Arduin · May 22, 2008, 06:57 AM // 06:57

You make Power Trading seem like something very easy, something anyone can do, yet dispicable because there isn't any 'hard work' involved.

Let me tell you, it isn't simple. You need to know your way around the high end items, prepare to take a risk when buying something expensive, hoping you can sell it for profit...if it was easy, everyone would be millionaires now.

But you already told us you don't know much about trading. Wouldn't you do some research about the subject, before bashing it and asking Anet to screw the players over who do invest their time in this feature?

Trading isn't ruining. Repetetive tasks with benefit is ruining.
