Sorry, but I wanted to get all of this out.
It doesnt really matter, where my gold comes from, if the simple fact that i have more than you makes you feel uncomfortable or unfairly treated.
Honestly, the gold itself doesn’t bother me at all. You could have 10m gold for all I care. What bothers me is what having that gold allows you to buy (if you want them, doesn’t matter whether you do or not). There are plenty of items in the game that cost thousands of gold to procure. If I had substantially less gold than you, but I still had plenty that I could buy every item on the TP that I was interested in and still have plenty left over for a rainy day, then I wouldn’t mind in the least you having more.
So you don’t dislike the gold, you dislike that he can spend it. I see the logic…or lack thereof. Consider this: if you had the gold to buy every item on the TP that you wanted plus some, what would keep you playing? What motivation or goal would cause you to log on? Personally, I’ve found I don’t log on as much right after finishing a big goal because I haven’t set a new one to work towards.
I your personal perception of others that are better off than you is so important to you, I am not sure if an mmo is the right game for you and I would say that a solo rpg is what you are looking for.
And if you can play this game for 10K hours and not even care about “alts, . . .style, . . . gear, skins minis, dyes or other non-essential shenanigans,” then I’m not sure GW2 is the right game for you, you might be happier with a more pure economic simulator like EVE, one where the economy does not have actual impact on people trying to enjoy an adventure game about sword and armor.
He isn’t the one complaining about the game, you are. He is fine with the game as it is, and enjoys it enough to log 10k hours. You don’t seem to enjoy it, but rather despise some parts of it. The only suggestion here is to find another game that caters more to the parts you do like. Now, if you would mind proving that it affects you enjoying the game….
Why is it that i dont feel neglected by anet because other players can earn stuff with their playstyle that i cant while trading but you feel worse off just because i have alot of gold?
I don’t know, and ultimately it doesn’t matter. You’re you, I’m me, everybody’s different.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, unless it’s your feelings that are hurt. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, but Anet should still change the game to be the way I want it.
/sarcasm
Seems like a personal problem rather than a problem with the game.
It’s a personal problem I have with the game, yes. You say that as if that means it’s an irrelevant problem. Personal problems are not irrelevant when the game is populated by people. Personal problems ARE game problems.
Again, find another game that doesn’t involve the mechanics you have a problem with. Again, you seem to think you speak for the casual playerbase as a whole. You don’t. As far as I can tell, the vast majority of people don’t care about the TP.
How do I affect the game any differently compared to someone who buys his wealth in game with real currency?
Not much, although personally I’m no fan of those sorts either. If there is any distinction, it’s in how your methods prey on your fellow players, however much you try to pass that off as “them asking for it.”
Random player (A) just got a random exotic (1), for the sake of example. A could do pretty much anything they want to with 1. They choose to sell it to the highest bidder (B). As far as they are concerned, they are happy. They got to conduct the transaction they wanted, they have their money, and go on about their business. Why should A care what B does?
~snip~ Things would not be listed for thousands of gold if nobody could or would ever pay it. If anyone tried, someone would just undercut them. The costs of goods are all relative to what people are willing and able to pay for them. I don’t particularly blame you for taking advantage of the system as it exists, you’re just doing your best with the tools available. I blame ANet for allowing the system to exist in its current form, and what animus I hold towards you is only for you publicly defending the corrupt system.
You got one thing right: costs are relative to what people are willing and able to pay. Perhaps not you, perhaps not Player #231,468, but enough people. And yet you somehow seem to blame traders for these prices, or at least for inflation beyond what you can pay. No, what people like Wanze do only causes deflation.
