Guild Wars 2

Droprate of dust should be increased to match supply of the other t6 mats, while powerful blood is overpriced aswell, the others float around 15s.

Im asking: is it Intended that dust hovers over 30-34s? I think not.

That the price rising is inevitable given ANet’s non-intervention is not a point of contest between us; I agree with you that given the state of things, prices will just continue to balloon. My point is that such an inevitable rise is a problem that ANet should intervene and address. CoF 1 is its own issue, but I think that the changes to Orr too severely reduced the sustained supply of Crystalline Dust without ANet giving due consideration to how much it is used compared to other T6 materials. My argument is that the way things are now is unhealthy for the game, and that supply should be increased to compensate.

Overall there is no point in farming the mat you need, whatever the mat is : you have to rely on the player base to provide it. They want players to create a gigantic TP where everything is at everyone’s reach so that players who “play the way they want to play” can afford anything. I really miss MMO’s where you need to create the mats you need :P

Currently my PvE time is about doing dungeons/fotm and from time to time check how much gold I have accumulated on all my characters over the course of the last few days to choose something to buy at the TP. I don’t think I am the only one doing this and it’s something that saddens me a bit.

I was told about the balance of the open-world but really where is the point in looting T1 to T4 materials? And yeah T5 main purpose is to be thrown in the Mystic Forge to obtain T6, that’s just silly. Will we be stuck in Orr forever?

so since the last patch the price of dust (T5 and T6) isn’t rising anymore, also the supply is increasing. i didn’t find anything in the patch notes that could have caused that, so what happened? how did the latest patch trigger that change?

People are probably taking this opportunity to unload their stocks for a hefty profit. Either that, or maybe this topic has inspired some would-be farmers to waste their time. Otherwise, nothing has really happened ANet-side that would drop the demand or increase the supply significantly.

Speculators sell their inventory. Happens after every patch. I do it sometimes.

hm… the only explanation i have that seems plausible to me is that through SAB upgrading was much more affordable… after all the price now might be rising again.

thread necromancy makes baby quaggans cry

how dare you to try and quaggan-guilt-trip me. ANet already does that quite well within the game and i hate them for it!

anyway, this topic is still up to date. nothing has changed, dust keeps being crazy expensive and the question if ANet is going to do something about it persists.

I am still waiting for an acceptable answer here… John, are you monitoring what is happening to Crystalline Dust? It’s double the Ecto price right now. Is that really how ANet wants it to be? Please let us know that it’s not ANets intention for T6 Dust to skyrocket in that way!

Yea the pile of crystalline dust price is getting out of hand. They are used for so many recipes and now none of the recipes r worth it anymore. Since the price is so high and they drop rarely.

i love the latest changes for T6 dust, thank you ANet!
