Guild Wars 2

In the past, the only weapons and armor that would go for anything worthwhile in the trading post were golds. These days however, anything from low-level whites to high end exotics are going for a great deal more at the trading post then ever before. Don’t get me wrong, I love it—I can sell out my inventory and get a lot more for it. However, I’m curious as to what caused this?

Magic find changes – people are buying all kinds of blues/greens for salvage, so they can upgrade their magic find %.

For the first time since the game began, demand for blues and greens is greater than supply.

Ectos … must crack rares for ectos … must crack ectos for luck … brains…

It isn’t just armor and weaps, I’ve noticed a couple other things as well. 1) Mini prices are now inflated. Not sure when it happened exactly, but i used to buy and sell them, now they are far more expensive. 2) Dyes and runes/sigils are less profitable nowadays. again, I used to buy and sell them, but now some have dropped off in price/profitability.

1) this is due to the introduction of the 2nd set of minis. People bought old minis from the TP to put htem in the MF to get new ones which were, due to small supply at the start, quite expensive. This coused the supply of the old minis to dimish and their prices rise.

2) I think dyes also drop from various champion bags which people were farming and stocking prior to last patch to open them after. This caused a high influx of unidientified dyes. Runes and Sigils dropped in price because alot of people salvaged exotic armor and weapons to get Dark Matter, meaning supply was way higher than demand.
