Guild Wars 2

Hi,

A little while ago ( read months) i remember a post regarding the price of precursors going up. There was a dev reply saying there was “actively” watching it. I have seen that Dusk is now for sale for 815 Gold. I have tried and tried to get Dusk to drop for me via the Mystic toilet. 500 gold still no luck, i will not try anymore. A question for any dev out there that actually feels they could answer this. How are you going to stop the price from rising more? You constantly nerf farming! cos it’s not how you want it. Yet with the prices like they are how are we supposed to get this sort of money together?

For reference, i am bored of all the PVE content out there. WvW is where i spend as much time as i can.

I hope you realize that prices went up precisely because Anet gave us great farm sources.

500g…. ? huhu.. that’s why i never believe in ANET’s rng…… bought Dawn few days ago for 530g….. can’t be asked to gamble….

Its like as if people want everything handed to them, and if it is not, it is considered too hardcore.

As if.

Spoiler alert: they want everything handed to them >.> the less work required the better.

The reason is not the extra gold is the speculators buying up every precusor

read my signature on 85% now

So does it say anywhere in my post that i am asking for anything. I am mearly saying i thought they was monitoring the prices of precursors so they didn’t go too high.

if they are selling then that means people are willing to pay that much, and guess what? they are selling, its economy bud, you just cant afford one, i dont want the devs getting involved it would just make it unrealistic

It’s a little bit of both.

What i hate is the ‘uncertainty’ for lack of a better word. I have enough gold to buy my precursor if the price of 3 days ago was still active. Last night 9 precursor suddenly were sold and now only 6 left. The price went up 70g, but with so few left it can easely rise incredible high. So do i burst farm, to get it anyway (90g more expensive as of now), in order to prevent a +300g more expensive situation, or do i just wait.

I think the quesion lies with Anet. I think their way of RNG is nothing more then ‘every day a set amount of precursors are handed out, apart from that, everyone else is left in cold with exactly 0,00000000000000000% precursor drop rate’. I’ve seen it on other mmo’s, and every day there 7-20 precursor in TP. It’s to much of a coincidance it’s always around that. If it’s 20+ it’s because ppl don’t buy (highest prices remain and lower price are added). When the market is moving, aka lowest prices going away, but replaced by others, it’s always around 10 a day it’s movnig. Way to much coincidance. Even 0,00000001% RNG is bound to have spikes at some day. With chance everything is possible. With everything possible, a 40 (same) precursor drop in one day, is enough possible that it should have at least happened a few times this year. And it hasn’t. This is because of a hard cap in how many precursor Anet allows to be in the market.

Technically speaking more gold in market, means that everything will inflate. However as many have said, if at same time, materials, exotic, name it also drop, it creates a heavy supply of those items, and thus countering the effect of inflation. More people have moeny, more people want precursors, So the supply goes small. But we are farming harder then we ever did, before, hording more exotics (mystic forge has more thus), then before, opening more chests then before (champ loot, i suppose they should have precursor chance not?). However this is where it goes wrong: there is no extra precursor supply, even with the hardcore farming going on. The only possible responsible is Anet, with a Precursor hardcap. It’s my fear that by limiting the precursor to 10 a day, that since these items are wanted so incredible badly, inflation on precursors cannot be countered. This means i gotta pay superior much to counter even more inflation or hope Anet will turn and insert (albeit shortly) more precursors in the market to satisfy the current gold heavy owning market of farmers.

Waiting could be the biggest mistake in my life, but investing now may as well be. And that’s stupid. A precursor should not be that stressy.

There is definitely inflation during this period of time. Smith confirmed it with his subtle message, but he is saying less than scale some people that exaggerates. My concern is that he realize this virtual economy is not a real world economy, and deflation might not be as bad as in the real world. (Since most of your goods sold to vendor and from vendor are static price) Therefore, hopefully Anet can deflate some of the inflation created in this recent events
