Guild Wars 2

I’m lucky I’m in a good Guild. I’ll be honest if a new player wants to do much in this game then they’ll pretty much require help or be kittened. My Guildies were taunting eachother about thousands of gold earlier, this is not just mouthy, one sent me enough gold to change servers (thanks) on a whim!.

Maybe new players will get lucky and random players will always give them cash. Complete \/\/ank, I miss actually helping players not thinking about cash!

Yes agreed i’m glad i started GW2 when it was easier to actually get items now it would be insane to start over…and incredibly boring..

My first toon Necro was so much fun but now all my others feel more uphill than fun

Warr/Guardian not included, they can knock the moon out of orbit and will get buffed next month

I don’t know about this. I have new players in my guild, we don’t give them money (maybe we help out with drops here and there) and they seem to be doing fine. And I know a lot of people who have played since launch and don’t have thousands of gold to throw around. Maybe it’s because my guild doesn’t have very many farmers in it. We don’t have many people who play the auction house either.

There are always “poor” people and “rich” people in MMOs. I put those words in quotes because in my experience, it’s often the rich people that are the poorest people of all.

Oh I did. But I’m not typical of my guild. Most of my guild doesn’t play as much as I do. Most of my guild isn’t as driven as I am.

Talking about me and saying my guild is like that has nothing to do with anything.

Anyway, I didn’t BUY the legendary. The precusor dropped for me, and over time, I picked up the mats to finish making it. I ran the dungeon, did the WvW….but that has nothing to do with physical wealth.

The highest amount of money I’ve ever had in this game is about 430 gold and that’s far more than just about anyone in my guild has ever seen.

Why would you think that everyone in my guild has gold because I had some?

Actually now it’s much easier to get items.

Back at launch any green item cost like 5-10s, now you can buy almost a full set of equipment for that amount.

Exotics were much harder to get, gold was more scarce, and we didn’t have Jugs of Karma. Now we have guaranteed rare drops, guild missions, tons of new events.

Vayne I sorry if you actually achieved it, you surely as an intelligent guy see the problem here. In GW Froggy Wielders gor respect etc.

Oh, no worries mate. As I’ve often said on these forums, I have a notoriously thick skin. A lot of times when people think I’m annoyed, I’m actually laughing.

I’m not a farmer by nature, and I’d be bored playing the auction house. Almost all the mats I got from that came from putting ectos, coins and obby shards with some crystals into the mystic forge and see what pops out. About 20% of the time it’s something really useful, like powerful blood or elaborate totems, which I can then sell to get the mats I need.

Basically, since ectos are at this point largely free, and mystic coins are free or cheap, and karma is easy to get and experience points I get all the time, this seemed the best way to farm mats for me.

The biggest pain in the neck was getting the onyx lodestones. I managed to get 47, before breaking down and buying 53 of them from the marketplace.

Edit: I should point out, I now have the mystic clovers sitting there for my several legendaries. lol Going for Kraitkin next, since the precusor was so cheap.

Mate you keep saying you are in constant pain, how is that? I hate hearing that

I can be a kitten for Scotland, but are you serious
