Legendary sub weapon exploit?
In case you didn’t realize, it’s not even possible to sell something on the trading post for under the NPC value. The starting sale price has to be above that amount or it won’t post.
And this is hardly an exploit. Someone just found a cheaper way to roll the dice. Everyone knew 4 rares had a shot at turning into a precursor.
Arenanet nerfing content. If true, then whats new?
First: Punish individuals who want to farm for particular mats, making magicfind gear all but useless.
Second: Punish individuals who want to speed farm dungeons but introducing a depreciating reward system, thus limiting an individuals ability to arn gold.
Third: Punish players who want to make legendaries by increasing the rarerity of the pre-req exotics.
If the third is true, it is only a matter of time before the exotics inflate in price.

So… Thist guy thought it was sickening that people were making so much money from easily made prerequisite exotics and instead of telling everyone how to easily make prerequisite exotics so that prices on the TP would drop and thus fixing the problem, he decides to tell Anet to shut the whole thing down.
So now the value of prerequisite exotics is going to increase drastically so those guys who had already used the method to get these exotics will only get richer and as the final stroke he decides to buy up all their overpriced exotics exotics from the TP.
Man, I wish I was making that guy sick… I would make sooo much money.
I just stay away from the TP. I know it’s the best way to make money, but I really don’t want to work at an office. I guess I’ll stick to doing Dynamic Events for one silver each at level 80, like a chump. If the rewards in this game weren’t so insultingly bad, you wouldn’t have such a big problem with gold scammers, farmers, sellers, etc as you do now.
I think Arena Net need to comment on this.
I wouldn’t call it an exploit.
Everyone with brain could realize that making sub-legendary weapons using Rares is much cheaper than using Exotics, even if you consider MUCH less chance.
As far as i heard, from 4 rares it was like 1-2% chance, while from 4 exotics it was 10%, and 3 exotic + 50skill point scroll was 25%.
Simple calculation and you have answer – Rares are the cheapest, unless you have many skillpoints to do the 3rd option.
I really don’t see a reason to call it an exploit. Some guys just calculated it, saw what prices on TP were, and Gambled. Mystic Forge is meant to be gamble – like i gambled on mystic chests and lost 2g and some people made nice profit from it.
I was considering to try making sub-legend weapon using rares too, but i personally did not have budget yet to try it. If Anet made this way impossible, then they have less and less respect in my eyes, they are killing this game with every day, and soon GW2 time will end.
We have no REAL END-GAME content… the only 1 were this dumb legendaries. Dungeons are kitten not End-game content – 1. you can do them at earlier levels, 2. They are crap.
Events – too easy and boring… dragons are not challenging at all
WvW – doable from like 30th or 40th lvl easily… so can’t really call this End-game.
PvP – available for everyone at every level… so it’s not endgame
+ They nerfed farming making this anty-bot system.. srsly. “We want to let players play the way they want to” – Rly? Rly?! It looks like you want to FORCE us, to play the way YOU want us to play.
Soon everything resonable in this game would be called exploit… This is ridiculous.
I lost almost every hope for this game at this moment.
