Guild Wars 2

I really hope there is a mod reading this and could say they’re monitoring the issue and I am wrong.

So there are ppl in gw2 with several 1000 gold atm. Proove is a offer that is put on you see in image below. We’ll it actually wouldn’t be a problem for me for them having several 1000 gold, but the problem is with such a great ammount of money they can play set the prizes as they want and make almost infinite money.

Let’s have a look on current t6 mat prizes ( I know some of you might say they skyrocking cause there are no more bots) but see another perspective. one who have 3800 gold to put on an offer on cooking ingrediant. could buy with this gold. 38’000 t6 mats when they were low causing em to skyrock. assume he only buys blood and scales and totems still he can buy with the charge 12’000 of each and sell em on high prize when he wants to.this not only make him make big ammount of money again he as we’ll can be pretty sure that prizes of all lower mats will go up ( since you can uptier em ) and ectos will go up ( since it actually became a money making thing to craft mystic clovers) jackpot you can get crafting 10 mystic clovers is 20 loadstones. so ecto prizes went up as we’ll-> this again causes all prizes of yellows an dexotics to go up.

I really hope there will soon be another possible than trading over the TP since ppl with large ammount of money now can set prizes as they wan’t. I not saying that they have made this money in a exploit way. I think ppl with such mutch money just played the tp and precurser market prizes and made big ammounts of money. 1 day from 1 sec on the other 7 legends disappeared at same moment from tp and one moment later all appeared again relisted-> if sombody have money to relist 7 legends witch is about 210 gold just to list he wouldn’t care invest this money in playing the TP and making some panic for the update with t6 mats.

What are you thoughts on that?
Ideas how you can change it?

Trying to corner a market can also backfire right in your face.

Its harder for them to corner the market since all servers share the same TP. But you shouldn’t hate them because of this. It called playing the MARKET and it should be a viable play style.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate em. And it isn’t powertrading anymore in the sence of trading having a tp makes it mutch easier.. I traded a lot in gw1. The point is with a global TP where you actually have permanant access to all traded items. People can get increadibly rich and faster ritch compared to a powertrader in gw1 finding 10000 ppl to flip an item and trade em takes several seconds now where it would have taken several hours before. Just get me right I just face at the issue that there should be another trading method as well.

On top of that I can’t say I’m poor I have no hate on this people but I think it’s a serious concern that someone has the power to play the market really hard. And there is not mutch of a risk. Buying with hudge ammount of money blood for example it’s sure that even if you just bought over long time t5 blood those will go up. on top if you buy t6 there still be enough flippers for you to fill buy orders on a decent point below the actuall offer you can sell em. like the market shift make completly no sence. They said they adress the botter issue market shifts in upcoming patch → if you look at lost shores area you’ll be likly to be able to farm all t6 mats + bigger rewards on top of that there are new mats what point buying old mats now when there are new mats coming. On top of that there actually adressed precurser journey to an unknown date so it’s not the point that people buying for their precurser.

It’s just simple supply and demand, the people playing the market aren’t causing the problem they are just making it more obvious.

Supply of T6 mats is much lower then demand, so the price rises.

Meanwhile, gold keeps pouring into the economy significantly faster then it’s destroyed, so we have rampant inflation, which causes the price to rise even faster.

With nobody playing the market, the same exact thing would happen eventually.

If anet considers it a problem, they either need to increase T6 mat drops or somehow siphon more gold out of the economy (or both).

Die Zitrone ist Account-Bidung. Was ist das Problem?

Would be very funny if it was suddenly unbound and somebody got those 3800 gold ;p

Sounds familiar – real world economics.
