This update = you are now wealthy
This is indeed pretty generous.
Of course some prices will drop as a result, but all the ecto I’m getting from salvaging is going into levelling Ascended crafting tracks anyway… so…
Although the marionette mobs only drop key pieces and you need to defeat many towers to gain entry to scarlets lair, I too found the loot to be a nice change of pace for ANet.
My hope is that this new paradigm will make more players actually continue doing the marionette for the entire two weeks and not die down as most (all) others have done in the past.
