As many of you know, recently in the market their has been a huge spam of Island Guardians for sale. This includes those unded and dedicated ones. Im not a very high minipet trader but I would like to know why everyone is selling theirs right now, and why are they going for way cheaper then they usually go for (from 2500 ectos to 1500e).




I would greatly appreciate your knowledge on this.


~Thanks

i think its becouse all prices are dropping fast, so people want the gold or ecto before the prices are dropping further

ooh the last i saw (wtb 1750 ecto)

i think thats the reason for it

Because it's a player driven economy. If people want to sell their stuff voor 2000 ecto, but no-one is buying, prices drop.

If people are only buying for 1500 ecto... prices drop even more.

If 10 people suddenly decide they want to sell their (same) mini's, prices drop.

Or the sellers just want to get their duped Mini's sold.

QFT

Weird how Island Guardians are one of the rarest pets to get hold of yet all of a sudden they are being sold all over the place

Same happened with pandas a few months ago and a few weeks ago the uber-pet mini polar bear was seen being sold by about 10 diff ppl (yet there was supposedly only 2-3) you would think they changing hands and being resold but all the prices were very similar

new dupe a-net havent found yet possibly?

Please let it be so!
These forums are so much fun when there is some mass banning/dupping/hysteria going on!

But they AREN'T being sold all over the place, there's only a few up for sale, and they haven't been sold. Just because lots of people WANT one, doesn't mean they are getting them.

Right but it only works on Island Guardians, next you'll be saying you can only do it once a month and you have to stand in a specific spot at thirsty River.

Less conspiracy theories please.

Then you have to use Frenzy in THK, complain that the monk has no mending then drop 2 iron ingots and a raptor bone.

iirc, you are supposed to bring your own mending. Usuall phrase is "noob healer!" after all i seriously bought you need Monk as healer for this, rt seems to be good enough.

That reminds me of the old Pokemon rumours, on how to get Mew. Some of those were ridiculous.

Anet got rid of gold sellers, so people need to sell off some of their rare items to get money, the end

Yeah, ridiculous. Everyone knows you have to use a bug in one of the cities, get to a giant truck and circle it 150 times, singing ,,Victus Dominus'' backwards.
