Guild Wars 2

It is so nice to finally see that the guaranteed drops are having a positive impact on the economy. Exotics are no longer 4-5 gold a piece and you can actually buy exotics and rares for 30 silver a pop.

Thanks Anet for your diligence in changing this problem and allowing players to get rewarded for their time in Tyria.

Hopefully this will repair this economy once and for all.

So now inflation is good for the economy then?

You know what ? I’m going to enjoy the world events before anet nerf the chests to oblivion in the next update.

I rather would hope that they improve rewords for other stuff before i’m bored to death while doing the same things over and over again.

Thank you Anet! I appreciate you listening to our feedback.

This is truly rare for me to thank them.

You say this as if inflation wasn’t occuring before the update…

No one forces you to do these things over and over again. That was BEFORE when you could farm it several times a day.
As for the broken economy, I couldn’t care less cause I’m playing mainly self-loot. The ectos I never buy, always had it by salvaging.

Honestly, inflation I’m not too worried with.

I’m more worried about these events sucking players out of every other aspect of the game, because they’re currently sooooo incredibly rewarding for the amount of effort required.

So instead of cursed shores and cof p1 they are doing world events,
Have the other 2 activities really suffered that much?

I see a lot of people exploring location while waiting for dragon event. Which is good in my book

Excellent point.

Now people have another option other then just grinding the same dungeon(s) over and over. This new update has pulled people back out into the world, and today the world has been more full of players then it’s ever been.

It’s very simple, the players wanted better loot and they will gravitate to whatever source offers it. This update has pulled people out of the dungeons and into the over world. Dungeons will still get run, but now there is actually another option.

Allowing people options that are all rewarding is in no way a bad thing. Making people grind over and over for little to no benefit is a trend that needs to continue to decline.

I think the word you’re looking for is deflation. According to the OP, exotics are going down in price.

I completely agree with your spirit. However, the problem is that these World Events =/= open world. They’re just a part of it.

The 6 locations they are in had lots of people. Which is great. But what about the locations not there? The world is big, but you’re concentrating a big portion of it onto 6 specific spots. That isn’t good for the “open world.”

They need to give people reasons to visit Harathi Hinterlands. Or Brisbane. Those places are really empty, because people have no reason to go there. Not just the World Events, but the whole World itself.

It didn’t change anything for me :/ I still dropped some green craps from Jormag’s claw 5 mins ago, and I mostly drop Porous bones and white in Orr…

Inflation? How? I think you mean deflation. And yes, that’s good for the economy.

Still, that’s better than sticking only to cursed shores.

oh i can think of several more areas that spawn large and rewarding chests.

Chests from dragons should always drop a rare now ?

They have a higher chance, it’s not guaranteed but now it’s decent.
Yesterday Destructor gave me 3 yellows, and Tequalt 1.
Enjoy before whiners mass want nerfs.

I hear ya, this is a careful what you wish for senario. now that rares are dopping from these event very often, ecto prices are dropping fast. also the events in cursed shore are ‘different’ so i just done see them being the money farm they were before. in short, the people who complained about not being able to make money in this game, will likely have the same ciomplaints. oh and watch T6 mat prices.

however, i really like this update, like it or hate it, people are doing events more, clearnig temples more, doing dragons more

Spleen.7836:

Dragons should have always been rewarding for the time it takes to play the event. I stopped doing the dragon events because of the lack of reward. So now i will try them again

I know it’s fun to get 3 yellows with no to little effort. But do you know what would be even more fun?! Getting 3 yellows after a relativily difficult fight!

In my humble opinion!

I’m done with temples fight with only greens or blues after 30 min of wipes.

Surely there’s a fine line between greens and blues, and 3 yellows!
But oh well. The RNG gods can’t please everyone

it’s good to be rewarded for epic fights. I do think the loot should reflect your participation, though. especially with how hard it is to get anything other than gold. silver=half the chance of gold and bronze=half the chance of silver (to get good loot)
Also, we have a new twist on an old problem: everyone posts the rare/exotics they find. use to be 2-4 people. now it fills the chat screen with yellow.

I’ve been doing a lot of WvW lately, and the dragon chests were not enticing at all before this patch hit.

Now that I’m a WvW regular, I feel torn between doing dragon events and smashing some mist invaders skulls. This is actually great if I don’t feel like smashing in some skulls.

Also, with the ectos slowly going down in value, my path to Legendary had gotten easier.

Frozen Maw is pretty silly for the amount of effort to reward: I’ve gotten 2 exotics and 7 rares from it so far across 2 characters.

The other events usually net me 1-3 rares per character.

So yea, thank you ANet for giving me some extra g per day.

Riss.1536:

The temple fights are fine. It’s the stupid easy ones like Maw, Behemoth, and Fire Elemental that’s really skewed.

It’s neither actually. Just a drop in prices for a rather narrow range of goods because of vastly increased supply.

CoF 1 and FotM still have better drops, you could find exotic cheaper then 2g before, so no change, just illusion of not wasting time.

Definitely bug report that! our diligence is the only thing that will keep them informed!
