Guild Wars 2

I’ve already accepted the fact that I will get my first legendary in 2019.

This was some nice trolling from Anet. The rich bought out all the mats at zero cost, and are now stretching the limits of long integer variables with their gold amounts. I bought quite a bit of candy corn a few hours too late, but still hoped to make a few gold on it. Unfortunately it turned out after wasting a significant amount of gold, that the supply boxes are utterly worthless, which meant that the candy corn I invested in, was also worthless. I expect all of the bought candy corn and most other mats except the most efficient few end up back on the TP very soon, because why in earth would I buy a supply box worth around 25s that gives the same or less than a 4s loot bag that drops in heaps in WvW and from many other mobs in PvE? ;/

I have never received a Box with the recipes in it from PvE or WvW. Are you sure they drop.

Most people have, haha!(me too)

Though to add to the subject at hand,
While I do agree it’s a load of kitten to let some people in on info that an item which is useless now, will be useful next week and of high demand…. I want you all to put yourselves in that person’s shoes, there is -no- -way- that any of you would not take advantage of said information.

And I know there’ll be plenty of people that will be all pure and innocent about this ‘I totally wouldn’t because I know it’s wrong and not fair and blah blah blah’, it’s human nature to take advantage of a situation, and it is always unfair.

You’re absolutely right I would take advantage of it myself, and along the way… I would tell my close friends about it too. That being said…. Is exactly why I created this thread. Which leads me to another thought…

Every single post in this thread that states the scale of this inside information not being large enough for a single account to be that big of a deal is not thinking outside the box. Lets say I am one of the privelaged people to get this information prior to the public… Well, it just so happens that I don’t care about in game gold. I care about making real money.

How much would this information be worth to a person in charge of a gold selling site, which has thousands of accounts doing his dirty work for him. That gold seller could have made enough gold off of a thousand accounts from this early information to provide enough gold to supply customers for a few days. Heck, for a few days, he might be willing to give that person a thousand dollars for said information. Looking further ahead, you realize that I am about to come into an agreement with that gold seller to provide him more information two weeks later for the next update.

Were not just talking about getting rich in game anymore… Were talking about hurting the game now. Were talking about providing insider info to the very thing that hurts the economy, and the game itself. Just think how many media providers got this info, and then all it takes is just one to make that call.

Don’t give out trading information early to the media… Thank you.

Not even close…Anet will soon be giving out legendary’s upon character creation.

It was public knowledge, everyone had access to it. It is not insider information when everyone has access to it All you had to do is put 2 and 2 together. I was late to the party cause of real life obligations but even I made a few gold from it.

LAWL. You got people crying because stuff is too abundant and worthless, you got people crying because stiff is too rare and expensive. Where do you fit?

No it isn’t, testers for example have access to advance knowledge of future content. Those who anet deem worthy who write online guides etc. also get an advance look ahead of anyone else, which was the original point of the thread.
