So im here to ask, has anyone else noticed this.
Last eve i got two mails and even one whisper from some of gold sellers. Difference from usual was , they were offering me pre-legendary exotic weapons for a price. By chance i did check broker moment after that , and i seen that, one that i was saving for, Dusk, jumped from 340 that was price night before to 430. Not just that but i do remember there was more then 10 Dusk swords listed for prices from 340 – 360 just one eve before.
So is it just me that noticed this or is it really come to that , they cant sell huge amounts of gold now so they move to buying off “important” stuff from broker.
Btw, how to report this, how to report ppl who are /w me with offers , since im sure there are ppl who are having over 10k gold and selling ot for rl money, but i dont have ways to report them (if they /w and u locate them in LA, they are not really botting).
thanx
Well I for one am not surprised at all if gold sellers are taking over the precursor market. We have voiced similar concern in the BLTC forum and all these posts got blatantly ignored by ANet or they simply denied that any form of manipulation was going on.
Fact of the matter is that the market for these weapons is small and easy to dominate. Gold sellers simply have enough funds now to start controlling segments of the market, eliminating competition. It’s no surprise when they have many bots running 24 / 7 for months on end without getting banned.
As for your question; if someone whispers you, you can right click their name and select report to report them. For e-mail there is a button in the lower left corner of the email (the one with the exclamation mark).
With what end … Im sorry but i dont think Anet care at all. Gold sellers , if nothing do Anet a favor – rising prices of specific items and with that rise $ spent per gems. If for example Dusk would be 40g , ppl would need to buy a lot less gems to transfer into gold then when its 400g. Simple as that.
I find this unfair but then again saying all thins just makes me get more flames from those who support this Anet actions.
Im really sick of bots/hackers. And as i told to my friend last eve, i really feel stupid knowing that some guys bot for a week and get enough money for legendary , while i do plans for farming enough gold for next months , just to see those same pricks rising prices to a new level .
Hate me if you wish but i completely blame existence of bots to Anet many greed grind to win policy.
Legendary is not legendary if you need to pay it with $$$, is it ?

“Happen almost any popular MMO game”
This is where GW2 was to be different, no grinding, no need for xxxxx amounts of money, and no profit for bots. Guess what, its not, its sae as aion, lineage, wow…..

Yeah, because you still need xxxxx amounts of money. Weapon skins costing 100g upwards worth of materials, cultural armorsets costing 120g, some runes costing 5g each, etc etc. Money is more valuable than Karma and Gems and that’s a problem.
I don’t blame Anet, I blame the players who want an easy way out and support the botters by buying from them. As long as you have player-player trading, you will have bots.
This does not mean Anet can just lay back and do nothing, but I do not believe they are doing that. botters are the needle in every game developers eye. Why? Because they ruin their creation. Could Anet do more? Maybe. I don’t know what they’re doing right now. Could they communicate more about what they’re doing? Yes.
But bots don’t exist because of Anet. Bots exist because of player greed. The greed to want that shiny pixely bauble NAO, instead of over a year.
I dont agree Tosha. Players like to play, not grind. Everyone hate to grind.
Anet on other side have huge greed for players money and with bots lowering value of gold , its win win for both of them.
When u think of it , they are like rl country (anet) and banks (bots).
1) everyone has a different opinion of what “grind” is.
2) Whenever a game developer puts in content that is hard to get (for example: legendaries), it will automatically introduce a grind. Only when a game developer does not put in any content that is hard to get or rare, then you won’t have any grind, but you would not have anything to work toward either.
3) Players will always look for the easy way out. And the easy way out are the gold sellers.
and 4) As long as the bots sell gold cheaper than Anet, I can’t possibly see how it’s a win-win situation for Anet.
The only way to totally prevent bots from even trying to get into your game is a) forbid player-to-player trading (so they can’t sell their stuff) or b) don’t put expensive
and rare items in your game. At all.
Let’s just agree to disagree. I’ve seen this kind of posts from you a lot, and they are bad for my blood pressure. It’s like saying farmaceutical companies like to make people sick so they can sell more medication and make more profit.
@Tosha You are not forced to respond. I know that you are supporting Anet on just about anything, and thats ur problem. I suggest you to place your support to Anet over buying gems.
Fact is anet is making profit by not removing bots. If that would not be a case, bots would be alot lesser. This ppl who sent mails, and who send whispers are not baned now and im sure they wont be baned prolly ever. How i know it ? I added some bots to lists 5 weeks ago, those accounts are still Online.
