Guild Wars 2

The auction house/black lion trader has been takeing fees for every transaction. In the past 3.5 years how much has it accumulated?

Enough to buy the whole world.

GG, Black Lion!

They now own America I believe…….

How much?

This much.

I made that very same pose when I went to Disney World, but I didn’t have a princess dress or a fabulous tiny updo and tiara. I feel like I missed out now.

Memories are forever.

For everything else, there’s Photoshop. ^^

So much, in fact, they are the multi trillionaires behind the New World Order. They own your very soul.

Well you have to remember not all of that is profit.

Even Evon Gnashblade has to pay his staff, all those TP locations are manned 24/7 by 1-3 agents, then there’s the weapons specialists (and anyone with specialist in their job title is going to be earning more), the Armor and Weapon traders, and that skritt who’s sorting the warehouse.

Plus they’ve got to feed the pigeons, and now parrots, ravens, griffons, quaggans and who knows what else. (They’re probably getting a good deal on the ghosts though, I think they feed mainly on despair and inconsolable rage so a few minutes of free time to hang around the Mystic Forge probably does it.)

How much has been spent on waypoint fees as well?

Now that you’ve asked I still keep that infographic from the beta weekend events back in the day..
I guess ANet can answer with statistics.

No, this much. Like most people your little princess underestimates the humongous fungus that is the global in game economy.

they own everything besides cuba and north korea.

They have to buy a lot of birdfood for all those delivery birds and pay for their schooling.

That and the cost for balloons and Quaggan health insurance in-case they’re injured on their flight, among other shipping expenses.

Precisely! It’s not all party time and endless profits. There are many ’spenses to pay!

Have you forgotten who pays for your armor repairs!?
And what about that thing where Mr. Gnashblade was ..asked..to do by Ellen after la was destroyed?

If they’ve got skritt sorting the warehouse, they’re losing money.
Entire warehouses full of shinies…hmm…

Now I have an idea for a raid. A real raid. On the warehouse. Full of shinies.

Lol so many great responses

Tarir didn’t just build itself from natural found resources, ya know!

On a side note I would like to know how much it cost to rebuild lions arch after it was destroyed. Workers, materials, engineering ect…i could see the black lion putting up some of the bill….lol

And now I have new headcanon for the Mystic Forge. I hope you’re happy with yourself.

Ever wondered where all the NPCs in this game who buy your junk items get the money from?

I wonder what they do with all the junk.

Someone somewhere must be building some kind of gigantic war machine out of broken lockpicks, cogs and spikes.

How do you think the steamcreatures came into being?

Id actually like to see a bit more economic reality added so the next time you try and sell your junk to a random NPC you get this message.
Sorry, Ive already bought enough junk items this week so dont need any more atm.
Come back in a week, or you can leave your junk here for free.

Or lets have some competition amongst NPCs in buying junk.
Ill give you xxx gold for your junk, but if you go and see my competitor on the other side of the world in the depths of Dragons Stand , he will give you 2X xxx for the same junk, but only for the next 24 hours.
PS I also hear that my competitor is rumoured to be selling some limited supply hi end exotic gear, but only for the next hour.

More fun economics adds another dimension to these types of games.

Don’t forget about compensations to families of all the black lion summonable merchants, who die withing 15 min from summoning instabilities.
