before the new patch came out, gold items ( especially the nice lookin graphic like crystalline sword/sephis axe and other popular ones ) were in high demand if 15>50 or etc. Also perfect upgrades would be about 100k each for lets say 30life pommel on bow/sword and furious would be also 100K+ . However with the green items that drop so easily now, with perfect mods and upgrades.

i have about 300 ectos just sittin in my storage and there is nothin in the market that interests me. Before the patch i would of prob payed millions for a max 15>50 sephis axe...but now there is a green one with low req, 15>50.
Even as we speech more and more of these are being found. and i already got 2 sets of fissure armor for my war and necro so i really dont know why i should continue to farm or even play pve.

To me green items actually take away the fun in playin PVE, this is because before the patch lets say i go on a mission and find a gold max sword, i would be somewhat excited because maybe it would be 15>50 or with +30life. But now i can just walk outside war camp and do 2 boss runs and i have a perfect item with perfect upgrades. There is no more excitment or joy in finding gold items anymore. so the conclusion i have come to is that i dont really need gold at all now, since green items basically owns everything and its everywhere.

Anyone got suggestions on what i should spend my money on?

No they didn't ruin the game, it was a needed fix to the game. Now someone please close this repeated worthless topic!

PS: Give me some money you greedy power gamer! Oh man, I so agree with you. To me there's two types of people that play this game. The haves and the have nots. The "haves" have millions of gold and items worth millions and complain when something like this happens cause they can't continue to make millions. Then there's the "have nots" That's everyone else! The sad part is that roughly 80-90% of the people in the game are "have nots". Pretty sad hey?

I agree with Jade to a point. I actually got a bit of enjoyment out of buying and selling stuff - it was kind of a subculture to the game. Now, I will probably not try to buy or sell anything on the open market unless it's an upgrade once I get the select few green items that I want. Kind of cool because that means now I can focus on the game again instead of collecting wealth. It's a bit exciting, actually.

This game is called "Guild Wars" not "Market Wars". People need to start pvpin and stop wasting countless hours farmin crap. I have made over 5 mil from selling nothing but sigils from halls. I have never farmed for a day in my life in this game. I laugh at all the players who cry about the green weps. This game isn't about having to farm for 100+ hours just to get a nice weapon that's comparable to a pvp one. That's all this is. A way to get your gear faster so you can pvp with a non pvp char. Like I said if you ever doubt what anet is doing just look at the name of the game you all bought.

i don't play this game for the elite weapons or skills i play this game caz i like it and enjoy it i could care less if i got the best or not for me its just the sheer pleasure of being able to escape the real world for an hour a night or so. so i gues i will say it (If you dont like it dont play it) that means more for me.

ill have to say there are 3 types of players,

the haves
the have nots
and the pvpers.

who needs that gold 15^50 axe when you can get it for free on your pvp char.

The reason they were implemented is because more casual gamers could have a chance to get good gear. They do not have hours each day to farm for gold. The green items are not necessarily the best items in the game, given that they are not, to my knowledge, any lower than req 9, and are not upgradable. You do not have to use them if you don't like them. They are so other gamers get a shot at getting good items.

1)

Boo. Hoo.

2)

Why do you play this game if all you want to do is collect gold? It would make more sense to go to WoW, where grind is the norm.

I heard you can't even salvage them.. so no components my friend..

plus there's only like 4 green items that are REALLY worth it, the rest is just alright.

I think maybe 25% of my time played has been spent with people, the rest entirely henchies, so where are all my drops coming from?

I liked the economic equilibrium that was growing. I liked the fact that it took a little work and a little skill to come up with what you wanted in this game...

Oh, wait. It still does take work and skill... and the only part of the economy that was shaken by all this was the market for gold weapons.

I had about five gold weapons that I was going to sell before the green items started dropping. You know what I did? Sold them to the NPC. Life's too short. Besides, I want cool stuff, not money. Money's useless until spent.

And the game isn't ruined for the majority of the GW community. it's not easy to come up with the amazing amount of money it takes to buy the green items, and you still have to train your PvE character up to be able to fight the bosses that drop them if you want to do it that way.

Lighten up, people. The balance has shifted... be flexible.

yet its so easy to find green item with perfect mods in 10minutes, while nearly impossible to find rares with same mods.. anet said sorrow furance will host some of the strongest monsters..or maybe it was a joke ~_~
