Guild Wars 2

Hey guys. I’m back to gw2. I am coming back after getting into archeage. I loved that game except trion went and killed it with their stupidity. Been playing gw2 again for a couple days now. One thing I miss about archeage was the fact that making money was simple easy and just required time investment. I NEVER went into crafting in that game and found that I lost money by crafting an item. Ever. And that’s how it should be. Raw materials shouldn’t be worth more.

So enough of that little mini rant. I remember despite the good things about gw2 it was yet another game where people are punished for crafting by a loss in money. Did they do anything to fix this? Is there any way to make money that doesn’t involve brain numbing grinding or some hidden trick that the developers overlooked? Help would be much appreciated.

I feel the same way you do, one of the aspects of a mmo I like the most is the crafting but it’s like you say, almost always a penalty until you get to max level or sometimes not even that, as the best gear is always found, not made. So, I have an interest in games like Arche Age or Wurm, or even Mabinogi (I think), but sadly those games tend to have other problems that makes them boring or infuriating.

Anyway, I’m also returning to gw2 after a long time and back then I didn’t get that far either, but my guess it’s still just a money/time sink. Of course, I still do it, even if it’s a waste of time I take pride on equipping myself with stuff I made.

I think they should take a page from ArcheAge’s book and make crafted armor the best in the game. It helps the economy a lot.
