Guild Wars 2

That gems haven’t move in 2 weeks time?

I always buy in 2’s, so 2 gold equals 28 gems at the moment, it has been the exact same price for 2 weeks, possible even longer.

With the number of players and activity in the TP with new items and such there has to be buying and selling of gems in a manner that would affect their price.

How is it that there has been zero movement?

Perhaps people have bought gems and bought gold?

Because of truncating 28 gems for 2 gold means the exchange rate is approximately between 6.8g and 7.1g per 100 gems. That falls withing the range for the last two weeks.

If you look at the chart at GW2Spidy you see that the rate fluctuates continuously but tends to rise to a new equilibrium depending if the Gem Shop has something good or not.

I’ve been buying gems constantly for a year, it has never been this flatline for this period of time.

Imagine the price of an stock index flatting like this? I have to think there is some manipulation going on, or, sell and buy orders aren’t affecting prices anymore…

It’s rarely been a steady rise rather it’s usually a series of step. No sometimes those steps are every two weeks and sometimes it’s steady for several months.

Now because you spend 2g every time rather than find what 28 gems actually cost you simply aren’t noticing the actual rise. If you had you would see it move from 1g92s20c to 1g98s80c

I bought 7200 gems in steps of 800 last week, and for the first 800 i payed around 54 and for the last 55,5 .. so i can tell you that the gem prices really changes
