Guild Wars 2

Tosha Daydreamer.9251:

If it’s easy to make millions of gold very quickly, then what’s the value of gold? If every player can make a lot of cash in no time, soon you’ll have to spend 100 gold just to buy a bread. Sure, you’ll have pretty large numbers in your bank account, so maybe you will feel rich. But in essence, it’s worthless.

It’s not impossible to get rich if you are willing to put in the time and effort, but you (OP) don’t seem to want to do that. You just want it handed to you.

Here we go with the handed thing again. I did say I DON"T have any problem working for it. What I DO have a problem with is there is no sure fire way to make lots of gold. And with all the money sinks in the game you will never be wealthy or rich.

@Thorp if you haven’t noticed TP item prices are going up and prices of mats are going down.

Real loot? All the loot I have been getting so far is fake? Why didn’t anyone tell me!?

Pradton.8576:

Its fake!

So…a month into the game and most of us only have a few gold between us. Lets talk about this next year about this time and see how everyone is doing.

Seems to be a distinct lack of patience by some around here.

Sorry you can’t get rich quick.

Having played the first Guild Wars, I understand what people mean when they say it’s difficult to acquire wealth.
I have a perma-Presearing character that has 35 Platinum all from low level drops and doing a decent amount of farming and questing on a fairly regular basis.
In another game, I can expect to make enough in 2 months to have double the amount for the bi-monthly special items (costing 125,000 in-game currency) they release, just playing casually.

For now, Guild Wars 2, as beautiful as this game is and as much as I like to play, it requires more grind than most are able to manage.
If I want to consider using gems to trade for gold, I consider how many hours , real work hours at my job I have to work to pay for pittance of gold gems currently exchange to.
I don’t know if it’s the gold sellers or botting or lack of creative vision to foresee that this was coming, but the economy is far to dependent on sinks to support it.
For me, there is no balance. I would rather give my support and buy gems because I am truly impressed by a quality game, than to make up for the lack of it in dealing with real breakage in the economy.

Soulwatcher.2604:

@Thorp if you haven’t noticed TP item prices are going up and prices of mats are going down.

And?

That is how it should be.

Seen some comments about Anet stifling gold to force players to buy gems.

What are you trying to do that would make you feel that way?

My personal experience, thus far, is that gold takes an acceptable amount of time to come by in relation to what you need. I have a level 80 and when I got there I had earned plenty along the way two max to crafts and deck myself out in trading post crafted exotics. I get enough from the rewards to easily pay for waypoints, the occasional repair or salvage kits and still bank a fair amount at the end of the day.

Now the things I want (in the case of this character, tier 3 cultural), are a different story. They are really expensive and will take a bit of time and effort. But that’s the point. It’s why I want it. Look at what happened to CoF armor and even Arah to some extent. Since the speed farms, those rare sets are now so common that a lot of people totally lost interest in them, because you see players with that gear everywhere. The price isn’t prohibitive, it just requires a decent amount of investment and committal, and hopefully that will stand up over time to it retains its uniqueness.

So, if you have the money for the things you need to progress in the game and be effective, and have to work towards the things you want over time, then whats the problem again?

Its obvious you missed my EQ2 posts, the big problem with this game is when you do event’s @ 80 you get a wopping 1s80copper that means you need to run the event 56 times to get 1 gold. 56 x amount of time per event. Do you see where I am going here?

At that rate no one is going to have any money. I think its safe to say most of the people in this thread are not 80 and have no idea what it takes to make gold.

So you want the item prices to keep going up and you want to make less money to buy the items?

In dungeons, bosses need a much larger “rare” drop rate.

I think what we need is a Bank of Tyria (B of T). Then we can walk there and deposit our gold and get interest. Besides earning interest, it can also reinforce lessons in budgeting and saving. The banking system would basically work by people who want earn interest depositing money in the bank while people who need gold would borrow it. It would need to be a system where a loan could only be obtained by having some type of collateral by the loanee. Things like that would make the game very interesting and give players who are interested in amassing wealth another avenue to do so.

Soulwatcher.2604:

I don’t recall saying that at all.

Prices only go up to a point which people are willing to pay. It is called a relative value.

If you flood the market with gold you inflate prices to unobtainable levels for new players. While it might make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside seeing big numbers it ruins the game.

The cost of crafting materials should always be less than the items they create. It wasn’t like that before.

I agree but 2 weeks after release when I bought all my exotic’s item prices were less then they are now and materials were worth more. Materials that were once 2 silver are now 60 copper if your lucky and a few more weeks they will be worth less then that. I feel sorry for anyone trying to buy exotic’s today!

Who cares about having heaps of make-believe gold??

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you want to be rich just for rich’s sake. Personality and political issues aside, that kind of hoarding has been known to upset game economies. Do you really want to do that for vanity reasons? Or if not vanity, for some annoying price-fixing scheme that throws the BLTC out of whack?

I do dungeons in 30-40 minutes. Thats 26s a pop. Not including what I get from mobs, selling drops and TP any rares I get along the way.

So I can say I make safely between 40-50 silver on average for a dungeon. Three paths means right around 1.5 gold. Two characters: 3 gold for a few hours time after work.

And there are ways to make even more than that but I would rather do dungeons with friends and guild-mates than grind paths in Orr with a ton of MF buffs.

If you are doing the same event 56x for 1.8s a pop, then you are kittening up. Bad. In fact, you should probably go sit in a corner for a little while and think about what you have been doing with yourself.

I never said anything about flooding the market with gold. And its already to the point where is hard for new players to buy items. Anyone trying to buy exotic’s at level 80 today is going to have a very hard time.

I can make more then 3 gold for a few hrs doing events, but that’s not the point. (because of drops)

“Now your a happy guy with 3 gold friend A asks for help, you help friend A and you run to town, and then back to your farm spot. Friend B asks you to make some bags. Back to town you go and back to your farm spot and now your 3 gold has turned into 2g50s and lord help you if you die helping friend A because your going to end up with even less money. 3 gold for a few hrs is not much money with all the money sinks!

I like it when a huge group of people take 15min and several deaths to kill a champ, I loot and get a white worth 30c.

That. Is. Pathetic.

Op is an idiot, he doesn’t want to be rich yet he said he amass 100g, if you don’t like it then you’re welcome to go back to that other mmo you came from.

Don’t worry friend in the end most people are going to go back to their old games.

So your real problem isn’t that its difficult to earn currency, its that you don’t earn enough to support yourself and all of your buddies.

So, if you have the money for the things you need to progress in the game and be effective, and have to work towards the things you want over time, then whats the problem again?

The problem is the NOW generation wants it NOW just a mere month or so into the game. Why back in the day it took MONTHS to get one piece of quality gear and YEARS to get the best.

Someone like Soul you have to overlook and discard because he’s playing abnormally for a CASUAL which this game is designed for. This game isn’t designed around wealth because you don’t really need it and a casual will yield better costs and prices because they won’t level to 80 so fast. I’m only level 40 this long into the game and prices are falling and that’s great for ME the CASUAL player. By the time I get to lvl 80 the prices will have leveled out to what they should be. They always do at the rate I play.

This is truely an MMO to play for the FUN of it not for the kitten of it or the I’m better than you because I’m wealthy of it.

no their not, exotics are easy, from lvl1 to lvl80 you gather nodes, ore, plant, trees whatever and you sell it, you will easily get more than enough to buy a full exotic set, so please don’t spout you bullkitten.

Just sayin’.

Now, here’s the thing there OP… if it were possible to make millions of gold rapidly soon everyone would be doing it and gold would be worthless. Who cares if you have a million gold if everyone else does as well? The economy appears to be designed such that gold retains its value over time. Personally, only for a short period of time have I been over 2g on my main. I usually hover between 1g and 2g. For me, 10g would be a bonanza, yet I’m also not sweating the issue of money. I have enough. I have exotics (almost full, not yet…) which I’ve purchased with karma or crafted. I have enough for repairs and travel. I buy siege equipment now and then and use them. I’m also taking my time with things instead of going on an insane drive for more and more shinies.

Wait… now I understand what’s going on! OP is actually a skritt that got internet access! (Maybe?)

That is very good, i don’t have to roll my eyes reading post like these.

What’s the point of being rich with toy money – other than spending it on gear and stuff?

I don’t have a lot of gold in GW2, but neither am i short on gear.

Kind of hard to sell materials on the trading post when most of them are the same price or less then a vendor would give you. Or did you not bother check that?

If “there was a way to easily make money”, then everyone would use that way and there would be inflation, the value of money would go down and prices would go up.
That’s how the free market works.
The only thing which is relevant is relative wealth.
And for that, you would have to find / create / optimize a method and keep it to yourself so that you could make money faster than others → making you “wealthy” comparably.
I’ve made 12g in less than a week at level 30 by playing the market, quite effortlessly, while all my friends had less than 5g at much higher levels.
Getting full max-stat gear is not very hard, but still an accomplishment for casuals.
Getting the unique skins is hard by design in order for it to remain unique.

With all the posts about people making legendaries, it seems completely reachable.

Use those materials to craft your own exotics, or use karma to purchase them. Gold really is a minor currency in the overall scheme in this game. You can have millions of gold and still be unable to buy the Orrian exotics.

When you guys hit 80 come back and post in this thread until then you have no idea what your talking about. Way points are 2s~4.5s each and repairs are not cheap. You guys are going to end up grinding hrs on end for a few gold that’s not going to buy you anything worth while on the trading post.

Oh… you’re one of those people that thinks they need to specialize into certain builds, aren’t you?

I’m using pretty much no more than one piece per vendor in addition to balancing my traits across multiple lines rather than fill a couple to 30. So far there’s nothing I can’t handle being balanced. (Mesmer, btw)

So no, the Orr exotics aren’t junk, you’ve just convinced yourself that they are. In that case, people can still craft exotics quite fine using nominal amounts of gold. You haven’t changed the fact that gold is only one currency in the game, and not the most important one at that.

Based on your evident skill at dodging I’m inclined to believe you.

This thread reminds me to do something.

Thank you Anet for making sure that the economy stays in check, thank you for making gold actually worth something, and not easy mode to come by like what the OP wants, which would only cause inflation. Anet, you did the right thing, thank you.

Clean your glasses because obviously they are all spotted up. Next time you sell on the trading post check and see what a vendor will give you. 45%+ of the high level items sell for less then what a vendor gives or just a few copper over. If your happy giving loot away by all means have at it!

can someone close this topic. is going nowhere.

If you flood the market with gold you inflate prices to unobtainable levels for new players. While it might make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside seeing big numbers it ruins the game.

The cost of crafting materials should always be less than the items they create. It wasn’t like that before.

I never said anything about flooding the market with gold. And its already to the point where is hard for new players to buy items. Anyone trying to buy exotic’s at level 80 today is going to have a very hard time.

no their not, exotics are easy, from lvl1 to lvl80 you gather nodes, ore, plant, trees whatever and you sell it, you will easily get more than enough to buy a full exotic set, so please don’t spout you bullkitten.

Kind of hard to sell materials on the trading post when most of them are the same price or less then a vendor would give you. Or did you not bother check that?

Use those materials to craft your own exotics, or use karma to purchase them. Gold really is a minor currency in the overall scheme in this game. You can have millions of gold and still be unable to buy the Orrian exotics.

I have 530k karma the Orr exotics are junk for a necro.

Oh… you’re one of those people that thinks they need to specialize into certain builds, aren’t you?

I’m using pretty much no more than one piece per vendor in addition to balancing my traits across multiple lines rather than fill a couple to 30. So far there’s nothing I can’t handle being balanced. (Mesmer, btw)

So no, the Orr exotics aren’t junk, you’ve just convinced yourself that they are. In that case, people can still craft exotics quite fine using nominal amounts of gold. You haven’t changed the fact that gold is only one currency in the game, and not the most important one at that.

My necro destroys, so I guess my build must be working!

Based on your evident skill at dodging I’m inclined to believe you.

For give me I was wrong I forgot about all the massive damage healing power gives…….

When you guys hit 80 come back and post in this thread until then you have no idea what your talking about. Way points are 2s~4.5s each and repairs are not cheap. You guys are going to end up grinding hrs on end for a few gold that’s not going to buy you anything worth while on the trading post.

What da hell are you talking about? i swear to god the ignorance with every post you make is mind boggling.

By the way i have 3 char, thief, warrior and ranger all have full exotic which i brought just from gathering nodes whilst i was lvling and selling them on tp, seriously i think you just love to troll.

Clean your glasses because obviously they are all spotted up. Next time you sell on the trading post check and see what a vendor will give you. 45%+ of the high level items sell for less then what a vendor gives or just a few copper over. If your happy giving loot away by all means have at it!

you’re a kittening idiot plain and simple, don’t act like you know kitten.

Are you mad that you haven’t been checking vendor prices?

So…a month into the game and most of us only have a few gold between us. Lets talk about this next year about this time and see how everyone is doing.

Seems to be a distinct lack of patience by some around here.

Sorry you can’t get rich quick.

^this. Why do people feel that if they’re not max level, and geared full of exotics/legendaries within a month or so of release, that the game is too hard?

If you’re max level and can’t afford your legendary weapon yet, keep savin’. You can do just about everything in the game without one, so keep savin’.

No i’m mad because i keep replaying to every stupid post you make. goodby i got better things to do than keep typing to dumbkitten.

To me it feels like the only way to earn any kind of gold in this game is to play around with the trading post which I can’t.

I know nothing about economy and I barely know any math, or how people think, and react to certain things and whatever kind of mental powers you need to play the trading post.

Just admit it I am right, the bots have drove materiel prices to the ground. And now most of them sell on the trading post for the same price or a few copper more then what a vendor will give you.

So you want the item prices to keep going up and you want to make less money to buy the items?

Dodging of the fact that gold is at best a secondary currency in this game and that it’s not difficult to be decked out in full exotics without having to spend much, if any, at all. As long as you have enough for travel and repairs there’s no limitations that are placed on you for not having a ton of gold.

Oh, and there’s more than damage in this game.

You guys are feeding this troll way too much… Getting him all cute and chubby like I’m sure he is IRL…

If you don’t see it, you’re blind… Just stop responding, he’s sitting around fully aroused pressing F5 to see your responses to his blatant ignorance.
