Guild Wars 2

Recent Market shifts lead me to believe that someone is attempting to corner the market. Is anyone else getting this impression?

They recently nerfed the droprates, by making Baracuda adds (the easiest way to get the most Armored scales) no longer drop anything.

Thus, the droprate is now more in line with Powerful Blood/Elaborate Totems/Venom Sacs than it is with the rest of the T6.

They did? I haven t seen that in the news/announcements

Stealth nerf, as usual.

And locked, as soon as people started asking about how to make money

They were at 5s when that message was posted

Not a stealth nerf, more of a hot fix.

The actual players found a way to make money/farm efficiently so they had to “fix” it. Makes us think, we shouldn’t report anything, it’ll just hurt the actual player base. Game is fun but very unrewarding and for many, they play for the rewards. I knew I was right to buy 200 of while the price was low, now I got 250 of them to make my gifts when I finish off Powerful Venom Sac and E. Totems.
