Is there a new farm out or something? They're dropping like crazy.

Also people are unwilling to give in to constant ecto prices for tormented items/armbraces (ie the price actually change with the ecto prices), unlike a lot of high end gear. The general opinion is 'meh,tormented what now?'.

The game is over 5 years old. That's why. Who DOESN'T have tormented shield by now?

That, and DwG pwns.

Prices will hopefully continue to fall until Anet fixes the clipping issues with the Tormented Weapons.

dwg now allows mediocre players to go into doa, mash their keyboards, and magically receive gems.

Uhhh, isn't it like that for EVERY team build in Guild Wars? I mean, once the "Puzzle" had been already solved, what else is there to do in Guild Wars besides mash keyboards? DwG is no exception.

Lol@ some of these comments. DWG and Ecto price adjustments lead to where Armbraces are now. Count is as a screw up on the development side.

DwG makes people realize how easy it is to farm high end materials, not allow them to.

Because normal people are doing DoA in NM. It's a good thing to, now people can get some nice tormented weapons for their HoM at a cheaper price

no its not (edit: a good thing) :\

While yeah filling out the hall is good and should be semi acheiveable by people...thats what destroyer weapons is for.

Tormented Weapons were intended to be a luxury that were hard to attain...what this is doing is...making it worthless and pointless...
removing the reward for those who worked hard to get one...

I did a DwG run yesterday, it was ridiculously easy. We had like 3 noob DwG, one guy who didnt even speak english (and no, not everyone was r8), and we just steamrolled it. Like 1hr 40 minutes.

Im not claiming thats a good time, just for a pug, thats almost ursan speeds. In fact, in some areas it was better then ursan (such as beginning of veil).

In these situations typically, a vocal few will whine about the issue until Anet responds, in his case DwG gets nerfed.
Enjoy it while you can.

If Anet intended them to be luxurious, they wouldn't be a collectible. Anyone could obtain just by doing DoA multiple times. 15 gems weren't hard even before SF.

ive also heard(from my DoA crazy friend) that they made a build9may be exsuclive to his guild) that uses mesmers to clear DoA HM in around 50mins~hr. now i havent seen the builds been invited to a run myself(im too "noob' i havent done over 300 DoA runs) so i cant justify/prove this... but hes made 300e+ in the last day or so.. so i wouldnt rule it out.

between that... and DwG.. yea DoA has become steamroller able

Exactly. The only people that I can see being really upset about the drop in price would be power-traders who have stacks of ecto invested in arms. And to be perfectly honest, I'm not likely to shed any tears over their misfortune.

Still took more effort, as it is an Elite Area. At this point, the stuff is being made to be more common, which is good for individual HOM fullfillment, but terrible for a game thats endgame turns into "dress up." Being 5 years old I stopped caring about the economy so much, but when everything becomes so easy to get, the now PVE centric game is being driven by new players and old players who will get gear and quit playing. Shame.
