Guild Wars 2

every new update makes certain items go low in price while making others very expensive, now that legendary weapons are multi-stats, now more people want them and of course t6 mats are crazy expensive and in a day precursor are up to the roof on prices….

and to say that we getting more gold in open world and dungeons BUT apparently is not gonna be enough to keep up with the NEW RELEASES or UPDATES

Currently people are going crazy with speculation. There is always weird market upsets when that happens.

Wait till a couple days after the patch, and then we’ll see what is what.

exactly, it happens before every update. Dont panic, just wait.

agree, made some gold playing tp and i was thinking of buying mats and now…….. it freaked me out

It is not about legendaries. It is 500 craft. I think we will use T6 mats to craft items between 400 and 500.

Back when they announced that the Sanctum Bazaar was coming, they let slip that you would use older crafting mats to make the boxes that held the celestial recipes in them. Prices on lower tier mats skyrocketed…

Only to come right back down to sane levels once it actually came out.

Now, It won’t necessarily happen that way this time, it could very well ruin the economy forever! Probably won’t, I trust John Smith too much for that, but it could! Too early to tell though. Not enough details, and I’m not an economist with a working model on MMO economics.

Maybe we should see what happens before we all go crazy?

I posted about this in crafting awhile back. I’m concerned with T6 fine mat prices mostly. There isn’t much supply even with champions dropping them in the new bags and the last couple living stories have flooded the game with money. I can only see the prices going up while they remain so difficult to acquire.

Save your laurels. Those T6 mat packs might become even more valuable >:)

I have a feeling that with the addition of these ascended weapons, they may reinstate the old drop rate for the T6 mats to compensate for this and stabilize the prices for them. Doesn’t mean they will though…

I predict T7 Mats will be introduced.

didn’t they mention new tier of mats will be created from combining lower tier mats? i didn’t make that up did i? :///

though of course, we’ll have to wait for the finer details. as long as it’s not 250x T6 + 250x ecto for one new tier mat, or something like that. XDD

The mats required are combinations of mats.from various tiers. These are typically BoP and cannot be traded. For example, by combining Steel with a dust you get like Glistening Steel, same applies to other mat combo’s.
So there isnt really going to be a t7 in mats.

Also might require some drops. That is whakittens looking like so far.

Pve farming should be nerfed, players feel like they are obligated to go farm all day with these new patches. I mean, they offer us a new opportunity to get good amount of gold by farming champs/map events/crown and many players can’t resist it and farm all day instead of participating in wvw etc. since it’s not as rewarding as these farm spots. You can’t sit and do nothing while others get rich by farming. This psychological obligation makes many players farm all day, thus increases inflation rate. Also it makes the gameplay boring, since entertaining gameplay style doesn’t offer you such amount of gold.

I love all the people whining about prices for legendary’s. Guess you should have made one early on like everyone else!
No excuses cause I have friends with 5-7 legendary’s, and it’s been a year since release, so you should at least have at least one by now.

Ok… this is what will happen imo…

They said we would be able to get the required stuffs once per day from several sources. I don’t see them requiring a lot of t6 mats, but mostly those to make it take longer to hit 500. At that point though I could see them requiring a lot of t6 to make the ascended/precursors. We’ll be getting MF boosts when we salvage blues/greens some times as well with the next patch. This will cause an increase in the wood/metals we may need.

Somewhat related… they also did the previous CP LS which yielded lots of t5/6cores/lodestones. If you were smart you saved these instead of selling t5 at 60c ea… and bought extras.

I have a legendary and am working towards a second and I play a lot.. so I can say without a doubt that having 5-7 legendaries already is insane (and more than likely your friend got them from playing the TP and not the game.)

They generally buy gold with real money.(players with 4 or more legendaries)
It’s hard enough to craft 2x legendaries as a hardcore and legit player.

I am also concerned about the one-sided economy. It only supports people who have tons of time to farm or extra RL cash to convert into gems-to-gold. As someone who has been trying to get my legendary since day 1, this price insanity is only growing more one-sided.

Items with little use will have some use.

That’s not bad for them ecomoneys. That’s good.

Still, I can’t say I like how people can just stick to some spot and mindlessly grind it.

They should do stuff that encourages exploration and traveling the world.

Finishing 10 different champions, event or meta events should provide better rewards that doing the same one 20 times.

Nope, everyone delete all your characters right now and format your hard disk….it’s our only hope, Obi Wan!

AN should make T6 mats farmable without chance of getting T5 instead from 75-80lvl mobs.

People can farm ori and ancient wood the problem is only mats and dust in particular.

It would be awesome if mat packs purchased with laurels gave more mats. Right now, they only give about 3 per pack — that’s nothing compared to the value of a laurel. They should drop 6 per pack at least.

You complain so hard guys. If they make getting legendaries easier, it would be unfair to people who made it in “hard” way. And actually creating it is not that hard, you have to play a little bit more than others. No one ever told that getting legendarie weapon is a week procedure. Some people need months or even year to make it.
Purple color and name “Legendarie” means something, you know?..
Its only shame that when you get one, its worth 5 achievment points and there is no title for it….

And by the way. Prices of t6 materials are not getting up becouse of legendaries. Its only becouse of 500 lvl crafting. You need a lot of ecto and t6 mats for discovering exotic weapons to level up from 400 to 500.

The price for t6 is so high ’cuz they are unfarmable. why there is t5 mats in every table with t6?
