Guild Wars 2

After thinking about how to analyse the TP market fluctuation over time, I came to the conclusion that it can be manage like this :
This can be useful tool for Anet.
On Orthonormal basis : x => time // y =Average gold per player AND Index
Then we can compare the average gold per player among the time with the evolution of the TP index (if it goes higher than 100 it means prices increase – if it goes under 100 it means prices decrease in regard of the average gold per player value) here we have 2 possibility or the index 100 basis calculation is fixed in time as the first time you set it up OR every month the new Index become the 100 reference to see next fluctuation only.
First one : Give monthly the ratio of the average gold/player. All game gold/amount of accounts=average gold/player
Second one : Make a TP index like Dow Jones IRL: select 40 GW2 items (which are valuable crafting materials, would choose the 40 most used to set up the index with every T6 mats values also) At date X you set up the index at 100 (base value) which is determined by the current month average values of every trades completed (buying/selling) over these 30days. Then every month Anet can set up a graph in which appears the evolution of the market in real time in comparison of the average gold per players in game.
This tool can be automated and would really be efficient to manage the game outcomes itself to balance prices and rarity of materials and being able to see how the game is affected by any change implemented.
If you have any comment please feel free to post.
And for these who like to play the TP what about if Anet would implement the possibility to invest as shareholder in a virtual GW2 value through the “GW2 index market” (that would also require its own specific name) ? This feature is definitely missing for every TP players addicts :p

PS: the TP index system and method based on these 40 materials values evolution over time is the best way to play safely the TP actually but you have to make your own tool as it doesn’t exist in game (and your own tool will never be as accurate as Anet’s one – if they had such one).
