Guild Wars 2

I have to say that the pricing of items has gotten better. Even though there is still need for improvement in folks way of thinking.

I mean really 1 silver for a level 1 item??? Folks only get 76 copper at the start.

Use your brain and stop trying to steal from the newbies.

You will make more money if your start to price all items at the pricing they should be priced at

Standard items 0-5 shouldn’t exceed 50 copper.

Items 6-10 shouldn’t be any higher then 1 silver

11-15 shouldn’t get over 1 silver 50 copper for standard items. Now masterworks should be a bit higher.

This continues all the way into the 80s with exotics being several gold. That is where you will make your money. At the end game not the newbie areas

Low level stuff doesn’t get bought by newbies looking to equip themselves, it gets bought by people who want to salvage it for materials. Because low-level materials are still pretty expensive, so are the items that can be salvaged into them.

I have to disagree with your statement. If what you say were true then all items upp to level 10 would be at a silver as well. Level 2- 10 for the most part are underpriced. Another example of robbing the poor is level 11 shoulders. They go from 3 to 5 silver. Then drop each level after that til they are again under priced. This totally negates your arguement.

I doubt people who buy low level items from the TP are brand new players. Very likely they’ve been playing for awhile and are buying starting gear for an alt. In this case they can very easily afford the prices you are describing. Sellers are, as is the case for capitalistic societies, charging all the market will bear. Buyers are the ones who truly set pricing. It doesn’t matter how much the seller is asking for if the buyer isn’t forking over the money; with the 5% listing fee sellers have to be very careful about not setting prices frivolously high.

In that case, it might be a matter of crafters trying to recoup some of their losses. For example, consider Mighty Embroidered Pants. As I type this, the lowest sell listing is 1.98s and the highest buy offer is 1s. However, if you look at that recipe, you’ll see that the cheapest option for crafting the item is worth 60c more than that, given the cost of jute.
