Are all greens going to be worthless?

Iam kinda a new player and I hear people say that greens are going to be worthless, and it kinda makes me sad. Because I love farming. Will it be useless to do? Will greens still be max stats so it will still be usefull to use them?

*sighs*

Gotta love the capitalists.

Well it all depens, to some people Green's are worthless, to others they are not. So its all in the eye of the beholder. We most likey will see new Green's in Nightfall, so that means most likey be worth something. Some factions Green's are still worth money as well.

As a new player, if you can pick up some cheap new greens, then great. If you're farming them to hoard money, I think the game has already passed you by.

There’s more to farming other then just greens.

Elona greens aren't going to be worthless. Canthan greens, however, have lost lots of value because of this weekend.

Its a good way to promote Nightfall for new players as well for veteran players.

Imagine how things have unfold from the beginning til now:

Guild wars pre SF:________________________________

Max golds with 15^50 and perfect mods - 100k+

Guild wars post SF pre tombs:______________________

Green became popular and some prices soared up to 100k
Max golds with 15^50 and perfect mods - little harder to sell

Guild wars post SF post tombs:______________________

SF greens prices started to fall due to over farming
Tomb green prices never really spiked except for the victor Bulwark for a period.
Max golds with 15^50 and perfect mods - harder to sell

Factions release pre 3X:_____________________________

GWF Greens prices spiked during the first few weeks but generally declined rapid due to experienced over farming.
SF greens maintains in the affordtable range.
Max golds with 15^50 and perfect mods - hard to sell unless nice skins.

Factions post 3X:____________________________________

Cantha greens dumped even further close to being affordtable to the masses.
SF greens remains affordtable.

Nightfall with inscriptions prediction:______________________

Will likely follow the trend of factions as prices will spike for the first month or so as those who are rich will be willing to pay high amounts to be one of the first few players to own some of the green weapons whose skin is nice and unique. But over time over farming will cause prices to stablise.

Max golds with 15^50 and perfect mods - close to worthless with inscriptions.

GWP and GWF green prices will stablise and remain affordtable to the masses while some prices may raise gradually alittle due to a lack of supply.

Hence to say, the newer chapters is where the money making will always be and these events pushes the enconmy in such a way that it will remain pointless to farm in the old areas for profit unless you havent have the old greens from there already.

Hope this answers the OP question.

Edit for ease to read

Yay for Socialism!

Greens will still be USEFULL, just not worth trading.

Heroes

Nuff said

not useless. still max mods...

just not something you are going to make 60k+ a pop selling. i like farming too but i generally just farm for vendor trash since the greens became reasonably priced. did have a little burst of cash from the greens though, wouldn't mind the equivilant in nf so i can afford the new skills and possibly 15k armor for the new 3 characters.

other problem with greens is the non-upgradable thing. that's what kills them, especially with possible inscription salvage. that's going to probably make everything affordable.

May want to fix your character display, Voltar =/

I think the most expensive thing that you can by is armor in the game. I had to buy like 22 monsteruos fangs for my rits armor shooting 7.5k armor to around 30k. Making weapons worthless might make it where people don't actually go out and farm like heck like most of us do.

I'd like to see a Green Item Trader. He should work the same as the Dye Traders or Material Traders. Players will be able to sell him (or buy from him) green stuff for quoted prices. Also I'd like to see a green items raise base value from 35gp to say 500gp at least, it really hurts my eyes to see myself selling greens to merchant because I don't like spending hours shouting WTS and I need my inventory space for something more useful. Just my two cents.

lol, it got taken off. since i couldn't fit them all on there anyway i'd rather show none of them then. weird the things people fuss over.

ANet could do that, easily. Just reduce the item drop rate to 5% of the current one. But then all the farmers would whine that it takes 20 times as many runs to obtain an item.

Why would they nerf the droprate just because of a base value increase like that when normal mobs commonly drop items that are worth 100gp+

Many people already consider greens to be worthless. You can get easily replicate any green with collectors items or mods.

I'm not amoung them however. I think most of them look sweet, green is my favorite color and the mods are all max (for the greens worth farming).

I think the double drop weekend was just a way to get players the greens they want from Cantha before everyone moves to NF. And they will. Farmers, players, botters all: everyone will be moving to Elona soon and Canthan greens will be yesterdays news; something people might grab for a PvE toon while they are tweeking a build.

Thats what I'm saying, the droprate is already low enough.
