Guild Wars 2

Many of you say that the reason for precursor’s rising in price is due to speculators buying them up and flipping them, which seems pretty apparent and possible to those with foresight and enough starting gold to do so.

As a player that hasn’t played from launch, I feel somewhat behind all the people who either can churn out legendary weapons within a month of work, or have enough gold and flip event items, precursors, etc, to such extent that they will never need or really even want any more gold. But whining aside, what do you guys think will be done to alleviate this.

I can only imagine that craftable precursors will be able to either fix the market or provide an easier way of acquisition, assuming that they don’t need 5000 powerful bloods lol. I hope that their crafting price will be alleviated by being time gated, which I am fine with. My goal is to get a legendary by december (probably meteorlogicus or quip), when I will have had the game for a year, only taking one month long break when I went to turkey in april. I really hope that prices will have settled by then, as the speculation price rise should waver..

So what are your thoughts?

well i started with 1 gold a month ago after blowing 1000g on the mystic forge trying to get a precurser ever since this game was released. i was never the lucky one and got a drop or on my first use of the forge.

This game has nothing to do with how long you’ve been playing and more about how lucky you are. ( a new player could have a dusk drop and be 800g richer in a matter of seconds playing this game due to RNG ) I’ve now saved up enough to buy Dawn, but the price has just skyrocketed so I’ll wait until after the patch to try and go for a legendary

fingers crossed its cheaper.. all i know is it cant get any more expensive before Arena net steps in and corrects it in some way.

You must remember they WANT us to keep playing this game but know very well allot of people may LEAVE due to the economy directly impacting their enjoyment

They also do not want to upset people who have already got a precursor by making it TOO easy to acquire.. i think a nice 200-300g will be the standard price going forward after the patch… that’s my guess anyways
