It’s not as if people weren’t telling others to stock up on this stuff before ascended armor was released… heck even right after release it should have been obvious. It’s the player’s own fault for not buying it early.
@ Ralron.8124 it’s not free gold you’re working for it & Thanks for farming it for me <3

and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)
of a vanquished opponent.
I would highly recommend buying as much Linen as you can, since you need them not only for mid level crafting, but also needed for Ascended refinements. Best times to buy Linen are around 9pm PST.
Hey Anet, mind regulating this obscene price gouging?
The only way how to regulate the prices is to balance demand and offer. It is too time consuming and boring to get the stuff, this is the real problem.
The sad thing is there needs to be ways like this to farm linen and silk.
What I’d really suggest is a way to toggle the level appropriate loot to zone appropriate loot.

Silk drops from light armor and heavy bag drops from lvl 70-80 zones.
If you dont have a lvl 80 character to farm silk, you dont need askended gear.

While silk is becoming a problem, linen scraps are worse.

Far worse even. It’s like noone thought at all here. Requirements per bolt of damask should’ve been 10 (max) instead of 20. You know things are broken when demand highly outranks supply, and prices of regular T4 materials are higher than T6 equivalents.
One can argue in infinity that ascended gear wasn’t supposed to go fast. I really question is this is the way it was supposed to be interpreted. Smash piggie bank, convert from gems to gold and blindly buy up all existing before everyone else?
Other MMOs have severe grinding elements as well. GW2 was supposed to try a different route. Nowadays we have the mad grinding here as well, but sadly not much of a carrot when it comes to longterm motivator on the horizon. I wanna play the game as it was pre ascended. Atleast the way it was implemented.
Worst of all: this ascended recipe stuff makes leveling crafting from 0 to 400 MUCH more expensive, too. Poor people who didnt have everything 400 before this nonsense

no argument
the other way new (or poor) people now get much more gold for what they farm
Not really anymore, since prices of most other ressources are now constantly going down
EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
Linen scraps are going to be such a big problem that I think there will be a drastic change soon.
Remember when dusts were ridiculously expensive? And then globs became salvageable to adjust for that?
Well the linen scraps won’t be as easy to fix but I can definitely see them doing something. Either adjusting the drop rates or introducing material demotion.

There wasn’t much demand for it before but the ability to acquire them with level 80 toons was fine, same as other scraps except jute(most of mine came from leveling up alts).
If you did dungeons, you would have thousands of linen(and other types of scraps aside from jute) stock piled right now and you only need 40 linen a day to keep up with the time gate. You can get that 40 linen a day if you spend 30 minutes in a dungeon.
You just have to get out of Frostgorge/Queensdale champ farming and you’ll get your mats easy with gold/tokens and actual drops from those dungeons.
And Vol is most probably right, Anet will step in at some point to normalize its price with respect to other scraps.

I actually don’t see them doing that. They’ve stated that there will be some changes in the market and that they wanted to bring some value to crafting, at least to those players who have that work.
The prices for mats will settle down over time, but I suspect it’s going to be a lot longer time than most people first thought.

Of course they want to bring value to crafting, and they have. But the value of scraps right now is not proportionate. Ideally you want the price to be low → high from kitten t6. But linen scraps is only T4 and is extremely expensive compared to the rest.
in Iron marches , there is an event that if you let the NPC die and not revive them, infinite waves of flame legion spawn over and over ( amount scales with players)
Not any more. That farm was nerfed to the ground. I’m afraid the prices on crafting mats are “working as intended”.

Ralron.8124 … you might want to delete your post because that is considered a bannable exploit (there was a large ban wave between Christmas and New Year’s)…. not only that, spreading knowledge of exploits is apparently also bannable.
the exploit was a random trigger spot on the ground that when you walked over it, it instantly spawned 4 mobs!!!! that was an exploit! (witch they fix , so im not sharing an active exploit)
thats NOT what im doing…
they cant ban me for doing chain Events for the loot… lol! thats what this game is about .. farming events….

Haven’t they been trying to fix that for the whole year? Are things better now than a year ago?

Had no idea it was considered an exploit.
