Guild Wars 2

Could Arena Net provide relevant inflation figures periodically? Some thing generally similar to CPI in GW2 terms. Alternatively some thing generally similar to M1, M2, and M3 inflation indices such as gold prices against a basket of materials, gems, and other currencies. Another example is gem prices against a basket of items/materials/or even gold. In addition another example is a selection of currencies against a basket of items/materials.

As I don’t really know, another possibility is could Arena Net provide its own internal GW2 inflation figures that it uses to plan and execute changes to the game?

All these inflation figures could come monthly and/or quarterly.

What I would rather see is an amount of coin added vs amount of coin removed. Problem with MMO money supplies is that players could simply stop playing removing their wealth from the inflation equation. But they can still return at a later point.

Closing in on the one year anniversary I would definitely love to see a chart from John again. 9 billion exotic items salvaged, 20 billion ectos used for crafting, x karma spent etc.

ya but what should be included in the CPI.

ecto, all tier6 material, maybe tier 5, does lower tier material count?

how do you weight the different items in the CPI? should more important item be weighted more?
