Guild Wars 2

Ok, so I’m looking at several mats rise in price like crazy since May 15th due to supply shortage of all sorts… did bots take a hit or something?! Doesn’t look like the regular cycle… HUGE profit opportunity lost everywhere…

Several examples:
-Seasoned Wood Log 950.000units —-> 35.000units
-Hard Wood Log 763.000u —->141.000u
-Iron Ore 3.000.000u —->265.000u
-Gold Ore 800.000u —-> 58.000u
-Platinum Ore 2.500.000u —-> 55.000u

The supply of those low level materials are proportional to the low level players found in those gathering node areas. It might be a reflection of the lack of new players.
Also, the majority of low level players are Alts. People tend to craft power level and therefore also a mean of reducing those said materials.

However this is Pure Speculation!

/Cheers

I dont like that 1 person could theoretically buy this all and wouldnt have to bother with place issues, because the trading post is like a 2nd bank. U can make your inventory full and take the gold and leave the items on it.

Noticed it yesterday, but still 2 late for bigger profits… I bought ingots…ingots were cheaper then 1 ore yesterday….whoever bought these masses of ore didnt thought about ingots, at least not all sorts of ingots…

However I could understand if the price would stay more or less at this point. All the units which existed on the tp were pretty old, the regular supply of lowlvl ore decreased pretty much and the people probably dont care about the price anyway. Its just a matter of some copper

@Lhound: 1 million less units in 4 days – above 2millions in 2 weeks … I dont think its only because of the crafts

Thanks for the insight. I’m curious to see what happens in the near future…

I usually flip seasoned wood logs and saw 200.000 logs listed at 21c. days ago (which was weird at the time because biggest lots were around 20k) and while I was watching them sell like crazy I thought of buying them myself… didn’t have the balls to pull the trigger and now bam; +500G opportunity lost!! Would’ve been enough for my leggy…

nvm, silly me.

but yea I noticed the spike of ingot too.

I’m guessing a big population spike from the 3 day weekend. There’s a huge amount of activity in every single market I’m active in.
