Scythe, 6K gold
1 2
I don’t understand the issue. It’s a skin that some people covet. Why does every skin in the game need to be affordable for everyone? I like that I have to carefully consider my budget in deciding which skins I prefer; it makes my choices more important.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
This skin looks so basic. The main reason that people want it is due to it being rare, and they think that makes it cool. Eternal Rest is so much better looking in terms of creativity, and detail. I just don’t understand the want for a cruddy looking skin like this.
This skin looks so basic. I just don’t understand the want for a cruddy looking skin like this.
Because it looks so basic with lack of detail that adds to its deathly look. It’s not made to look overly detailed or pretty. It’s made to look grim and ominous. As with the other first season halloween skins, severed dagger, the crossing and several others. Some of those also lack detail but are bought mainly for their grim/ominous look.
Overall its about each persons own style preferences. That’s ultimately what this game boils down to apart from other things.
Yes I’m a vet, yes I’m salty. Problem?
Exactly, I wouldnt be having this issue if there was another normal scythe ingame, but there isnt. We get a detailed bat wing and a scythe thats on fire.
Where’s the normal rod with a curved blade? Thats right, behind a 6000 gold paywall…..
I don’t see what the issue is as it’s just a skin like any other. I can complain that the chainsaw greatsword is behind such a high paywall or any other skin with a high cost.

How do you budget for 6K? Thats like saving up to buy 3 legendary weapons at once.
Even if I play 24/7 and focus all my gold on this I’d have to pass the baton to my grandchildren

See and that’s exactly the reason why it’s 6k gold. Your “solution” can be summerised as: make the skin less rare and thus less valuable.
I have a better solution: have them add a different scythe skin.

The same way other players budget for high priced items. It sells for 6K so do a 30G/hr farm once a day for an hour for 200 days.

I would 100% back that up, if theres another normal scythe this one can cost 100K for all I care

You still haven’t explained why this skin should be less rare or less valuable other than because you prefer it that way.

Because its not rare, its practically unavailable. I dont want it to become a cheap frickle, i just want it to accessible through, and not through shear luck or being part of the bourgoise.
There’s currently a 6k item on the TP, but what if that owner decidec not to list it? What then? What other alternatives are there? Do I rob a bank? Do I worship Abaddon, what other alternative is there to getting the combination of 6K gold AND that person listing it at all.
5% is 300 gold, not 600. But their will be 600 gold deducted from the 6000 for “sales tax” so the seller’s net would be 5100 gold (300 posting fee, 600 tax).
And as others said, it’s priced so high because of the fixed number left. There was an uproar from those holding on to them when the MF spat out a few a while back.
We are heroes. This is what we do!

Don’t have this skin unlocked nor have any in storage or for sale. That said I prefer things like this not be made easier to acquire. You want things of value out there like this. if anything would also like to see more ultra rare drops that have limited numbers out that in which people might get lucky to see as a drop. There needs to be things of luxury value in game for people to try and acquire.

Seriously, stop it already. Players shouldn’t get easy access to everything just because they want it. Some people enjoy looking for the rare or expensive items. It gives them a goal to work towards.
It’s also bad enough that Anet routinely gives away event items at cheese it vendors. But that’s another side of the gimme coin.

Ok, it’s practically unavailable, not just rare. Why is that a bad thing?
ANet does periodically release new methods for obtaining skins (including forging shields for the grinning one); you could just wait to see what they do.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
Unlock all the easily acquired skins, key farm once a week, and hope for the best with the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock. (That’s how I got the Greatsaw skin.)
Good luck.
While I agree with the idea that some skins should be very rare and thus valuable on the Trading Post, I also believe that all skins should always have a method of being created. Any skins that are currently no longer available to be created should have some method (even if it is an unannounced MF recipe) available to spawn new versions in game.

It would probably be cheaper if there were still has many people throwing rares into the forge as back in the “good old days”. Might even make that profitable to do now … anyone with a pile of gold and excessive hatred for their own fingers want to do some research? :P
Hopefully you don’t end up with a Bloodbound weapon instead …
I think it is a good thing that items like The Scythe are so rare and costly.
Just because the cost is astronomical, doesn’t mean it isn’t available. If you want it, you have to work for it.
I don’t get the mentality, “Everything should be easy for me.” I’m not trying to be rude to anyone, but if you don’t have to work for something you want, what’s the payoff? What skin or weapon or anything else is all that special if it’s always obtainable with minimal effort?
I worked my behind off to make my legendaries. I farmed like crazy to get all the ambrite weapons. I played WvW which is not my thing at all to get my Tribal Armor.
And just like in real life, if something will forever be out of my reach, I just have to settle for what I can obtain.

Completely disagree. It is basically artificial scarcity.
If this were the ultimate skin, worthy of the best legendary, then I could see price wars over it. As it is it is only expensive because there is no other option that even comes close.
Look at it in real life. It would be like charging a trillion dollars US for, oh, a broken mood ring. Something whose sole virtue was nobody was bothering to make it anymore. (now someone will google and prove it is still made, not the point though)
I think there are plenty of costly things out there being auctioned/sold/traded because they aren’t being made/created/rarely found anymore.
Honestly, it’s surprising how many people here fail to see the difference between “hard to obtain” and “impossible to obtain”. There should always be a reliable way of acquiring even the rarest of items. Anet made their stance on it very clear when introducing precursor crafting or reintroducing those color ball thingies for spinal blades backpack.
Rare item/skin = More Gold, simple.
There is no “paywall” since that is just what the skin is valued at the moment due to supply and demand. Not to mention it’s 6k in game currency and not gems and therefore set by players (again supply and demand).
If in game currency is a “paywall” then you can say that for everything on the tp or any high price stuff you craft.
So if you really want an item you have to save you gold, you can’t expect players/Anet to accommodate the fact you can’t save or grind.
I would have that 6k in gold myself by now if I didn’t craft a bunch of ascended armors/weapons for my characters, let along going to go craft legendary stuff.
I’m still holding onto the holographic wings from living world season 1, currently it’s not worth too much ~200 gold on tp. However in the future I imagine the price going up, as more people bind them their accounts and lowering the supply. As it’s not available to get anymore via the event.
Who knows if the price rises much or it could also potentially drop, I’m not a psychic but I can make some educated guesses and “if” at some point it reached something like 6k in gold, are you saying I should be penalized because someone wants it but doesn’t want to pay said amount for the limited available item?

I don’t understand the issue. It’s a skin that some people covet. Why does every skin in the game need to be affordable for everyone? I like that I have to carefully consider my budget in deciding which skins I prefer; it makes my choices more important.
Price aside, right now there are 2 available for sale, while there are 974 buy offers up. That’s 2 orders of magnitude (nearly) more buy offers than there are scythes available. Clearly demand, while still fairly low, is far far higher than the available supply. Thus its not unreasonable for someone to request a new way to obtain the skin.

Well that is just simple economics for you, which tends to hold more so for limited available items.
If it was an essential item that was not available aside from a high gold/gem from the tp, then I would agree they need a way to find another way. However this is just a weapon skin (not going to kill you if you don’t have it) and if you want it you gotta pay it’s current value.
In terms of real world equivalent, say I want a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Zagato which went for $14,300,000 usd. Would I like it, yes, will it kill me if I don’t, no. Am I going to go to Aston Martin and demand that they make another way/lowering the cost of this limited available car, again no.

That one is probably never going to reach that level.
1) it’s price is capped by the price of Zhaitaffy. While not being supplied in huge quantities it is supplied by the ascended material gobblers.
2) plenty of wings in the game already
3) probably more wings will be added via the gemstore

Again, price was irrelevant to my comment. Sooner or later those skins will be sold, though imo they will sell for less than what they are listed at. Then you have yet another skin that is no longer available to newer players for no good reason. Anet has already introduced other older skins, I don’t see what’s so wrong with someone asking for them to introduce a new way to earn this one as well

There is a very good reason, they are time limited event only items (Holloween 2014 in this case). So if a new player pops in way after the event has ran, then they shouldn’t expect to get said item without some effort, even if that involves a large amount gold <—this is still technically another way to get said item after the event.
To compensate for this new items are introduced each year for the time limited events, which new and old players can get stuff from.
The price was more towards the op who seems to think no one would pay that much for the skin (since op can’t imagine having/saving that amount of gold), however those posting offers begs to differ. Again basic economics.
There is nothing wrong with asking, but there is also nothing wrong with people pointing out why it’s flawed.

Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock is another way to get his skin.
I dont care about the rarity of this item, the problem is that there are only two copies available to the community with no other methods of acquisition. I’ve been active since beta, but that wasnt enough to assure acquisition of the scythe.
Now, if there was another normal scythe in the game I wouldnt be upset about this, it could cost 125000 gold for all I care, but sadly, this is the only normal scythe in the game, and regardless of how expensive it is, only two people can be obliged. It would cost me more than 2 years of intensive grinding to get that gold, what guarantee do I have that the scythe offer will still be there
(edited by Amaimon.7823)
I have an opinion too. Just because someone puts thins thing on the TP for 6k or 10k (the only offers), it doesn’t mean that this is its value.
I think there are 6 to 13 serious buying offers, and they range from 166 gold to 3k. OriOri, I don’t think it’s useful to count 635 buying offers at 1 or 2 copper and say that demand is so high. I know there is no scientific threshold of what a serious offer is, but I think we can agree that probably 90% of the buying offers are ridiculous.
Most people obviously don’t think the skin is worth 6k, and the value of an item is what someone is willing to pay for it. The person who would buy for 600g puts the value at exactly this price. For others, the value is higher or lower, doesn’t really matter here. For me, this skin has no value at all, I wouldn’t buy it if the equilibrium on the market was 1g. It’s a staff skin, I don’t even wield a staff with my Reaper.
About ways to obtain it, apparently it’s super rare. I would sell it immediately for 3k or try for 3.5k, and I’m sure others would do the same if they get it by forge or a Black Lion Chest. We are ten thousands of players, we would see much more offers than those two on the TP. For all practical purposes, we can consider it unobtainable. If those 2 offers vanished, would other people offer the skin they have put into the bank since Halloween 2014? I strongly doubt it, I don’t think there are more active players that could sell the skin. Maybe if someone returns from a long break and finds out what people are willing to pay for it.
Now, is it good or bad to have unobtainable items in a game? For me, it’s fine, I accept that I cannot get things that were seasonal. In 3 years, I might be among those who got some item that people who join the game then will never obtain. I consider it a privilege of veteran players. There are many other things like this in GW2 and other games. If you see someone with the title “Hero of Lion’s Arch”, it shows that he was playing when LW S1 was live. You cannot get the title, it would make no sense for you to have it.

In real life already people will buy and resell goods later after they are no longer available and prices will skyrocket even for things that have many substitutes. This is a common in various collectibles fields. Hence another reason I am OK with this. The OP has many other skins to choose from, but they want one that has very little ways to collect so they are part of the group creating the demand.

What it seems you cannot accept is that there are seasonal items. They are there, then they go. That is life. Even gaming life.
Those seasonal or unique items sold later, in gaming life or real life, have a limited amount available. What good does it do to get worked up about it?
I think it is perfectly fine to ask Devs to help make a way for it to be available, but you should also be willing to accept it if the answer is no.
Yet you see me going up in arms about not being able to have it?
Maybe you should!
@Amaimon
I think it’s healthy for a game that not everything is guaranteed to be obtainable. Some parts are locked behind certain game modes which not everyone wants to play, some are put behind RNG madness. But that also means that you cannot and will not have everything. Everyone will focus on something different.
If everything is available by means of “dedicated playing” it would only mean one big grind. Another one. It’s essentially what the list in your original post is: complete this list of things and we will give you the shiny.
Well if a new scythe should be added it would have to be Dhuum’s soulreaper

You answered your own concern in another thread
And why does all content have to available for everyone?
There might be only two available today (and perhaps none next week); there are many existing owners.
Again, my objection isn’t to someone wanting the skin to be more common. The issue is that the OP calls its rarity “ridiculous” and “unfair,” when it’s simply 6000 gold worth of difficult-to-obtain.

Just a note, it’s available in the BLC Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock. I have gotten the Chainsword and Chainsaw this way, both used to be immensely inaccessible. I will agree that more scythe skins are needed, I have no problem with this one being unique to Halloween 2014. It’s the nature of the economy that it’s soo high in price.
And to think I bought mine when it was 8g on the TP
aka. “The Complainer”
Exactly, I wouldnt be having this issue if there was another normal scythe ingame, but there isnt. We get a detailed bat wing and a scythe thats on fire.
Where’s the normal rod with a curved blade? Thats right, behind a 6000 gold paywall…..
There’s not a version of a lot of weapons in-game. I won’t bother to try to name them. And a scythe isn’t even usually a weapon (yes I know that sometimes it was). I don’t see the need to have a commonly-available scythe any more than any of the hundreds of other weapons that are not available or commonly available.

I know right. It’s just a a staff skin, there are plenty of others out there. Op acts like it’s the end of the world if there isn’t a accessible scythe skin. Well if you missed the time limited event, well tough cookies.
You’ll gonna have to find another way to get one and there are other ways aside from paying 6k in gold, which is still a valid option even if op doesn’t like it. Not to mention at one point as Jumpin Lumpix pointed out it was only 8g on the tp
As pointed out early, others ways to get skin are through the mystic toilet or guaranteed wardrobe unlock.
So if want it you gotta work for it.

I don’t understand the issue. It’s a skin that some people covet. Why does every skin in the game need to be affordable for everyone? I like that I have to carefully consider my budget in deciding which skins I prefer; it makes my choices more important.
How do you budget for 6K? Thats like saving up to buy 3 legendary weapons at once.
Even if I play 24/7 and focus all my gold on this I’d have to pass the baton to my grandchildrenThe same way other players budget for high priced items. It sells for 6K so do a 30G/hr farm once a day for an hour for 200 days.
and thats just if your a casual player, I know a few friends that could pump that out in a few weeks if they wanted it
