Guild Wars 2

i think you guys are underestimating just how much armored scales people have stockpiled. This was the most botted tier 6 material by far.
The real question is; What happens first? People depleting their stockpiles or bots coming back?
Personally i think we need another week before we’ve burned through most of the supply some people are holding and the bots could already be back by then…hmm.

I think that’s the biggest thing I have overlooked. The market right now is way too saturated and it’ll take awhile (a long while) for the total supply of armored scales (Scales that are on the outpost + in people’s inventory/bank) to drain out.

Even if we look at gw2spidy and notice that supply drops to, say, 20K, for all we know, that difference of 40k could be waiting in someone’s bank instead of permanently removed from the economy (through the forge for e.g.).

The only T6 mat that didn’t really skyrocketed the past weeks was Powerful Venom Sac. Don’t know why the delay, maybe because the price already regulate with other T6 mats? Idk, but it’s been having a lot of spikes in the last couple days. I believe a lot of ppl is just stockpiling these stuff and waiting for the 28th patch.
I woudn’t be surprised if they nerf the drop rates on these stuff (if they already didn’t). Make ppl buy more at the TP and send more gold down the sink. Still waiting for a slight increase in prices.
