Guild Wars 2

The “free unid dye” demand is partially speculation and partially individual players wanting to get some “free” gambles.

I personally believe that unidentified dyes will tank hard and fast on patch day, so those speculators will be left holding a very empty bag.

I hope so too pelion. In turn I hope the flood of unid dyes will then replenish the common dyes, dropping them back down to the 2s range where they were before.

“Manipulate” implies intent. So no, they didn’t.

They changed the asset involved in the trade. Player responses followed.

My ONLY complaint (and it’s minor) was timing of the announced changes during a work day. But had it come afterward, Euro players woulda had the same complaint. Anet was in lose-lose EXCEPT for one solution (and even then some portion of the market woulda been affected): Don’t announce a thing, implement the change.

So your proposed solution through this thread likely was the only other option. Even had they done so, though, the market still woulda reacted as it has, the boom woulda happened, and the crash would also have happened.

The only thing that would have been different woulda been the trailing higher value of the id’ed trash dyes… those prices wouldn’t have stayed elevated as long. So the entire phenomenon woulda occurred, just in a more compressed timeframe.

Yeah Kid, overall I feel it was sloppy. The entire feature patch feels like a giant hype session — maybe to compete with the other games getting attention right now.

As a result I have the same game I had yesterday, but with dyes that are 10x more expensive. People can argue “it’s good for the market” all they want, bottom line is my experience is worse — and for no other reason than to hype some feature a few weeks away.

Everyone who wants to buy dyes right now for their own consumption (i.e. how dyes are meant to be used) is worse off. How long this lasts has yet to be seen.
