Guild Wars 2

It’s sad that the only way to get rich in guild wars 2 is playing the trade post, when i used to grind i made like what? 10 gold a day? seeing how ridiculously high precurses were i just gave that up and started researching the trade post and now i make atleast 4 times than what i did with grinding. i’m not here to brag, i’m just pointing out how i make gold doing nothing while people are out there grinding their kitten off and getting not even half of what i get, and i think it should be other way around. i don’t know how, but arenanet you got to fix this whole problem, people who play more should be rewarded more than people who list a few items.

Run dungeons.. best way to make lots of money.

You know what’s funny is I tried to play the trade post and lost money. Guess someone is telling me not to get in the day trading business.

The unfortunate thing is I don’t like dungeons and fractals, so my money making prospects are very slow. I can make good money in WvW if we have a PvDoor week, but sadly that was not this week. Well, partially sadly, on the bright side I started learning how to defend, which was fun, it’s just defending isn’t prosperous. At least not for me. My Elementalist seems to attract the yo-yo champions, which means I get pulled off walls and squished quickly, like a grape. And then I wine. Hah!

Wwwhats the second best?

collecting mats is the next best, doing chain events, that sort of stuff

Not dying?

You really wont make lots of gold unless you play the TP. To play the TP you have to loot something. So go farm. heh

I agree there are mats to farm if you dont need them and its kinda fun at times with friends etc.. is it grinding well yes but to get what you need and want in real life we have to put some effort in .. same here in Guild Wars 2. If you want a awesome weapon or that armor set its there waiting now just some effort on our part and you will have it. This game is only been out now for 3 months. patience is needed as ArenaNet fine tunes things. In the end im sure it will be balanced and work for all of us willing to invest some time and effort. Just my 2 cents worth….

Oh I thought he/she meant buy low/sell high, literally ‘playing’ the market.

Yeah, I’m getting close to being able to sell stuff. I’m a crafter and a pack rat so before I could sell something like, say, Mithril, I have to make 250 bricks and have 250 raw in my collection before I sell what I can’t store.

I am getting close on a few things.

Does the wiki or another site have good listing of zone chains?

I mostly like doing older zones. I’ll do some Frostgorge, and really don’t like Orr. I love loitering around lower areas though. Other than that one long series that ends with the big champion in Harathi, I haven’t found a lot of DEs that are full chains yet.

Point is we can’t all play the TP because essentially the TP is played on the back of other players. They can either farm or get lucky or spend real cash.

playing the TP means buying an item then reselling it on a higher price, or buying the item “modify” it and then resell for twice as much.
