Silver Doubloons? Sort it out Anet?
You are assuming it is one person buying it out. Just look at the prices of the precursor. http://www.guildwarstrade.com/item/29170-the-colossus unless that is a lot of people being very impatient and throwing away gold to constantly relist, that is at least 15 precursors being sold in the last week. That will require 3,750 Silver Doubloons.
Sure it still could be someone buying them out but it isn’t the only possibility.
It’s a rare drop, from an area not frequently farmed, which everyone who wants to make Juggernaut needs to buy a stack of. That’s why it’s hard to find on the trading post, not some sort of conspiracy.
Basically someone or some people are playing the market with silver doubloons in which when i have just checked there are less than 250 on the market. Why is Anet letting people get away with something like this as it will stop the making of juggernaut completely soon especially at the rate there going up and slowly fading away? They need to be made a more common drop like lodestones which are also a vital material in crafting a legendary?
Or you can do it the old fashion way, and farm the lower levels yourself. Lodestones are high level area drops, thus are more available due to more people doing higher level stuff.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!
They are slighly worse in terms of farmability even before the champion loot made it easier to get the stuff like lodestones.
The best options are JP camping but that is time gated. The other options are loot bags and Mystic Forge. Both of those requires a lot of clicking / doubloon. Can’t recall if I’ve ever gotten one as a drop.
