Anyone else notice taking considerably more damage in spvp? It could just be changes to other classes but old attacks that I’m very familar with from numerous classes appear to be doing more damage.
Also I have noticed that other thieves are very squishy as well, just did a few 7.5k backstabs on a thief and 2 hit him but stomping is almost impossible now. Not sure what this is due to this early on….anyone notice this? Of course restoring the 3s revealed time would be helpful…thanks for nothing anet. I was doing considerably better last night before the “update”.
If what you are saying that some cores are more rare than others as far as drop rates I would agree that this should be fixed. These prices are ridiculous mostly because farming is not very efficient at this point because they (Anet) are scared of making it too easy for bots. That being said they have no excuse for not fixing it.
They do need to implement a better way to reward legit players, I think by adding better loot to WvW kills and event/fractal chests while not changing the drop rates from normal mobs. If this is what you are getting at I think everyone agrees with this. However they have to do this gradually or else players, especially those with legendaries, will complain of the huge market shift.
I still believe the reason the cores you speak of are much more expensive because they are part of by far the most common legendary crafted. If you play an hour of WvW you will see more greatswords than all others combined. But the greatswords are by far the coolest. At the very least they could add trail effects to all legendaries to try and even demand some but I doubt they will.
At current prices, just gift of fortune mats will cost over 300g, so obviously most people wont be crafting a legendary for some time without doing a gold exchange.

With all due respect, I think you are missing “the bigger picture”. In no way do all legendary prices have to be the same or even close. Part of the reason certain mats are much higher is due to an economic reality called DEMAND. People want the flashy greatswords because they are the most noticeable and thus willing to pay more for them.
Can’t afford it? Go for a cheaper legendary like I am, instead of my first pick, or work for the other one. Work some extra hours and buy some gems then convert to gold.
Let me repeat that again….it’s not supposed to be the same. It’s a great lesson for life. The amount of entitlement and people whining how they don’t want to work for their legendary weapons in this forum is sickening. Look, it’s a game. It’s optional to play and optional to get a legendary. One of the greatest reasons people want them is because they are rare/hard to get. If they weren’t then they lose all their value/appeal.
Yes prices are inflated through the roof and I do think drops could be improved in less bot friendly zones, such as higher level fractals and event chests but everything else is a suppply/demand econ 101 course. Learn and prosper, use the market to your advantage.
