Guild Wars 2

The reduction in the numbers of botters has given me a crafting hangover. Fewer botters mean mob drops used in crafting have taken a sharp turn upward in price (gold) whereas the end result item crafted still has a backlog of low-price inventory. In other words, material costs can be an order of magnitude higher than the final product.

Here is the shot of B12 I recommend: Change the rules for the TP so that items can only be listed for 7 days before being de-listed and queued for return to the account. Setting a timer on listed items should ensure offers are fair, current, and the TP turnover is 100% rather than continuing to list items that have been for sale since the day the game launched.

+1000000 the TP needs a reset and this is a good way to do it.

The prices of t6 materials are just through the roof as it is now.

The OP idea will have no effect on t6 items for the foreseeable future. His idea is to balance other crafting materials in the game – specifically t1-t4 which I see as reasonable.

With regards to t6, they are currently being trade in high volumes due to need for legendaries and ascended gear. Do not expect a drastic change in their pricing for months unless AN intervene – which I would be against because it’s us the player base which are setting these prices.

If that should be done, remove the 5% fee you pay out of your pocket for listing something on the TP and only pay the 15% (which is insanely high imho) on successfull sale.

You might not have been around for it, but there was a time where these prices were low (70s+ per powerful blood). The prices are where they need to be, since its where the current player (not botter) economy has them at.

If more people shared your concern, prices wouldn’t be this high. Alas, this is only a temporary problem as there will undoubtedly be another influx of bots, followed by a massive ban again. Everyone profits in that scenario.
