Guild Wars 2

Things that are “one time” break the economy. Just look at Deep Glacial Sky dye. From original at 40g… to 110G… this is outrageous.

bring back all gem store content

bring back the mining pick especially>>>>>

Please elaborate on how an optional dye ruined the economy in any way. And then explain why prestige items should be brought back and given out like cotton candy.

tl;dr: Whaaaaaaa I want a deep glacial sky dye but it costs too much Whaaaaa!!!

Explain why you get to put words in the original posters mouth then demand that he justify them.

I thought it was t6 stuff, low drop rates and flipping doing it. :o
Had no idea those dyes has such a major TP-wide impact.

No words were put in, they feel entitled to get prestige items after they are gone. Had these items been permanent they would not be prestigious. The title of the thread is “Non permanent items ruined the economy”, I said elaborate on why it ruined the economy. Using a statement that most people use to make themselves sound smart when it is not applicable has the opposite effect.

When stating something in a forum, one should justify those claims, with or without appeal from posters. That is basic forum etiquette, otherwise you have randoms blurting out “the game is bad” in every thread with nothing constructive.

To further elaborate on what I said- Those dyes are prestige items now, as is the pick. A prestige item in real life would be something like an heirloom from hundreds of years ago that your family held onto which has a great worth(assuming it has real world worth to a collector etc). A non prestigious thing would be something that is available to anyone with very low cost, ie cotton candy.

Apparently its just rare/optional dyes and gem store items that can’t be sold that are ruining the economy. Hopefully the GW2 economist will get on this situation fast.

you’d be much more credible if you didn’t sound so ridiculous.
I agree that temporary content is annoying, but have a better argument! go join a debate club.
Deep Glacial Sky dye is nothing. Piddles. I didn’t even know it existed before now. It’s presence or absence is going to have zero influence on anything else. That means it does NOT break the economy, as the economy couldn’t care less if it was there or not.

And again you are adding conditions that were not present in the original post. It seems to me that the original post was asking for items to be brought back. That would generally mean sold for the same price as they originally sold for, not “given out like cotton candy”.

Note, I could care less one way or the other about the main topic, I just find it disingenuous (and unfortunately far too common on these forums) to change the conditions of a position then argue as if the changed conditions, that you made up, were part of the original post.

Whatever OP’s main argument was, whether non-permanent items are ruining the economy, or that he wants them back.. It doesn’t make any sense.

1. If NON-PERMANENT items were to be brought back, they wouldn’t be as special, as stated before.
2. If those non-permanent items WERE to be brought back and sold for the same price, why didn’t you just buy it before if you want it?
3. Exactly how are these items ruining the economy when this is what naturally happens. An item enters the market during a limited window, people wait until the window closes, and profit $$ because there’s limited amounts of them. This doesn’t ruin the economy whatsoever. If it is in demand, people will buy it for whatever cost.

Yeah… like the karma boosts/buffs-bug

I knew John Smith was probably writhing over this!

This discussion makes no sense and we shouldn’t quibble over the semantics. Lets find something more productive to spend our thought cycles on.

I’d ask you about dust but I know you can’t say anything since it would shock the market ;x

As this topic has run it’s course, it is locked.
