Guild Wars 2

Will the Ascended stat swap end up taking money out of the economy?

A LOT of people never had the intention of crafting Ascended gear; but they do have a few pieces of Ascended gear with worthless stats (from fractals for example). Now these people will be very tempted to forge the gear to get good stats. As I understand it, forging will require inscriptions/insignia. Zojja’s zerker inscription sells for 50g right now.

how is paying some other player 50 gold taking money from the economy in any way more that as of now?

The inscriptions require are exotic at best 2~5G.

You do pay a 15% fee so if more money is transferred then more money will be pumped out the economy.

Yes but that happens now anyway, they may actually take less out since people won’t be buying/making the other mats required for weapons/armour.

The forge recipe is the gear you don’t want, 5 ectos, EXOTIC insignia, and 10 spirit shards.

Wow! almost too good to be true. It’s still money out of the economy though kitten ectos is already worth more than a vendored Ascended.

Exotic? For reals? I’ve been pricing ascended for about 5 pieces I’ve gotten as drops. This decreases the cost tremendously.
