Guild Wars 2

In today’s update notes it states: “Black Lion Salvage Kits now properly display the correct percentages for rare materials.” Before the update, it stated that the Black Lion Salvage Kit has 10% of rarer materials, while today it states that it has 50%.

So, basically, all of us that used Master’s Salvage Kits (25% of rarer materials) over Black Lion Salvage Kits to salvage rare materials from items prior to the update got scammed? In the update notes, it doesn’t state that Black Lion Kits got buffed, but that they now properly display the correct percentages, which would mean that they always had 50% of rares materials, we just didn’t know that since we believed what was written.

Am I the only one bothered by this?

It was pretty easy to figure out that the original 10% label wasn’t true after around 10 salvages.

We don’t know for sure if it was really 50% or 10%. We have no how the percentages are figured out. I will say it is not going to be. Also you have to think of odds.

And why would I even try the Black Lion Kit if it clearly stated that the Master’s has more chance of salvaging rare materials? I was going for materials only, as were tons of other people I know.

I mean, it probably was easy to figure it out if you tried both kits, but I didn’t see the need to try the Black Lion Kit since I wasn’t going for sigils or runes.

It was always 50%, reported by many players doing tests.

You feel scammed? It would be a scam if it displayed a HIGHER than actual value, but it showed a lower one so nobody was tricked into buying it for that value.

Agreed, Scamming works by getting you to buy stuff with deceit not by not making you buy stuff.

Seriously? I should’ve read various threads on various forums from players doing tests and not believe what was clearly written in the freaking game? Why would I do that?

I’ll agree scammed was perhaps a wrong word to use. I just feelt utterly frustrated after reading the patch notes and realizing that I’ve been doing it wrong. And only because I never even imagined that a typo like this could happen to ANet.

Hell, I’m starting to get frustrated with the whole game, when I think about it.

If you get so worked up about some lost in-game currency then you probably shouldn’t play the game.
