Guild Wars 2

Wow someone is always putting up totems for under 16s now. If anyone wants to buy some for a profit feel free to do so.

For some reason the previous thread on this got deleted during the revamp. When you have that much of a surplus of items over demand, it’s only natural for the price to fall.

Back when the price most recently peaked, there were 3x the orders than supply. Now it’s reverse with 3x the supply over orders.

Undercutting occurs because the seller wants their money now but want more than the current high bidder. Next seller comes along and does the same thing.

Why do you think the demand for ET will go up all of a sudden?

Many are still working on legendaries and considering the horrendous t6 mat drops, it’s safe to say buying them at a reasonable price helps quite a bit. That’s 250 for 1 legendary alone. Also I imagine a bunch are working on crafting through 500 for ascended armor, so they’ll probably need a few aswell.

But the supply went up from 8k to 90k within 4 weeks.
You dont need totems to get to 500 in crafting as well. I dont see a reason why they should rise.

Maybe someone is trying to get rid of the extra supply by making folks on the forums think they’re getting a deal?

the prices on totems were fairly stable. now the sudden drop. and putting up only about 200-300 totems to drive the price down to 14s seems weird.

i say cash in and get em while they’re cheap and hot.

i think someone is trying to screw over a market.

It’s not weird if the supply went up. See how the price trends down as the sell order volume trends up on the chart on spidy ?

The thread wasn’t deleted from the revamp; it was removed because it discussed botting/hacking and whatnot, which is not allowed on the forum. Just in case anyone wondered where the previous thread went.

we need more responses like this. I would need both hands and feet to count the number of times I’ve seen threads along the lines of “well, my previous question got deleted, I have no idea why, so let’s try this again…”
I really should be saving the mails I get for infractions so I can make a ‘best-of’ someday. the most recent was for something like ‘being aggressive against another player’ when I was generalizing the entire population’s TP habits.

Sorry to off-track.
T6 mats have been over-priced for a while now. ET are just the first to come back down to normal! I sell all the ones I find because I have no other use for them – if the lowest sell listing is at 16s, that’s what I get for it.

I sure hope you’re right, Mystic. I’m still waiting for Vicious Claw prices to come down. I almost gave in and bought what I need on the weekend, but I’m still holding out.

isn’t flawless snowflakes the cheapest when you’re try to level up crafting from 400-500 ? of course you can only discover 6/7 items with that….

Vicious Claws are needed for the ascended backpieces that let you chose your stats so there is a good demand for them.

Yeah, they will probably be the last to drop in price or always be higher priced than the other T6 mats (until more sinks for the others get created).

That’s exactly why I want them, Wanze! I need 1250 of them for my 5 characters.

An alternative is crafting the Grenth/Dwayna backpieces, but they’re currently more expensive than the Claw variant. (I’ll be keeping an eye on prices once the Damask craze dies down though.) But I’ll still need at least 500 Vicious Claws, since I want the Quiver and book skins on two of my characters.
