A quick look at that page shows that Legendaries cost around 600-1100 gold depending on which on you’re going for.
GW2Spidy says that 1g costs $1.07 USD so Legendaries would require around ~$650-$1200 in gem purchases assuming gem exchange rates don’t fluctuate when you convert them to gold.

It’s your own fault you didn’t read and notice that there is a listing fee when you put an item up for sale. That listing fee will be deducted from your current balance regardless if you get a sale or not. The projected profit is what you will get from the TP after you item is sold (it takes into account of the 10% successful sale fee).
Assuming that the project profit has included all expenses is a reasonable assumption. When you have the computer doing some math, it should be doing all the math.
Why doesn’t it ?
Because its not there to tell you how much you’ll earn from any transaction. Nowhere did ANet state that the projected profit is going to be profit based on all expenses. It’s only there to inform you about the 10% tax the TP takes when you have a successful sale. The 5% TP fee will be deducted regardless of a successful sale or not and is not considered part of a sale. To avoid confusion the TP gives you both numbers. You’re the one responsible for calculating actual profits, while the TP gives you a ‘projected profit’ off the sale alone.
The game shouldn’t have to hand-hold you. If you want to know how much actual profit you’re making, just subtract your listing fee from the projected profit.

If you don’t have extremely strong ties to your server (guild/friends) you could consider moving to a different server? It may not sound like the most enjoyable option, but it’ll get you into WvW more consistently.

I don’t know why the TP doesn’t work like in every other MMO ever made…
3 day list -> Item and listing fee are returned once the 3 days is over.
I think one of the biggest problems right now is that people don’t ever take items off the TP because there is NO way to recover the listing fee. This means items just sit there, and as soon as they are undercut they sit there forever and never sell. It is causing the market to be clogged up with things at values that can’t even be sold (buy orders below vendor price) and items whos prices are no longer valid and will never sell, just filling up database space.
I bet we would see a vast performance boost if they removed items after 3 days as well.
If you want a cookie cutter MMO there are plenty out there. Take your pick. GW2 was created to break out of the norm and CHANGE MMO’s. That’s why many different things are different from the conventional MMO.

They allow you to instantly go from above to below. By the time they’re on you, you can’t react. Often times they drop on you so fast they look invisible. This is obviously an exploit and their ‘Fall’ skill should be removed from the game. Its clearly not working as intended.

Do note that there is a hard limit to the distance in which the portals work. If you go beyond this distance the portals won’t work. Therefore you should always be cautious about lone mesmers running towards you or large groups stacked in 1 spot. They should all be within your visible viewing range. If you’re more aware and observant it is not difficult to thwart these tactics.

What kind of logic is ‘mesmers can do it so why can’t I’? Its a class skill for the mesmers. By having the teleportation gun, you don’t even need the mesmer skill so you just completely negate the necessity for that utility slot. That’s like saying: ‘engineers can drop turrets, thieves can invis, rangers can have pets, elementalists have mist form; therefore ALL classes should be able to do this’.
‘Arena Net has said before that mesmers being able to port armies into keeps, or up jumping puzzles was part of the game, so why do the go right ahead and take away a part of the game that I had learned how to exploit? this simply is not fair.’
Because you’re not supposed to be able to do it without being a mesmer. Because its an exploit, as you stated.

Ah sorry about that, I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything. I thought you could have been someone from that guild trying to stir up trouble.
Thanks for the clarification
Edit:
So, conveniently after Yak’s Bend sweeps their borderlands and we’re about to engage in a flank attack, everyone gets disconnected and are unable to rejoin the borderlands. Only Yak’s Bend is down… At the same time, all the territory in the empty map is still contributing towards Yak’s Bend’s point total.
Everything seems to be going Yak’s Bend’s way…

This is video proof that I mentioned earlier that our buildings were completely undamaged and the altar was broken. You can also see near the end where Yak’s Bend instantly hast the orb in their keep when it was supposed to reset.
Very good video, that’s undeniable evidence. I also have a screenshot where a member of the same guild Project Mayhem teleported INTO terrain after I started attacking them.
Seems like we know who’s doing this. Can Arenanet PLEASE take some action?

The altar at Etheron Hills was destroyed with no walls being touched, no NPC aggro’ed, 4 hours after constant sweeps inside.
After the reset timer began to count down we moved everyone to Godsword to prepare to fight for the orb. As soon as the timer went to 0, instantly, the orb appeared in Dreaming Bay owned by Yak’s Bend.
We have video of what happened.
Props to NSP noticing and being good sports about this. We, at SoR, appreciate you guys coming forward about this and showing your support.

No, it’s not. But you keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night.
Having gamed with a lot of SoR in previous games, including gaisocks, I know to expect SoR to be very organized, they were last week too. The numbers increase however has occurred, regardless of what pile of sand you wish to put your head in. Lots of new guilds running groups, couple guilds I recognize from being on SF last week, and suddenly now we are seeing crud behaviour from SoR that was unseen in three previous match-ups. I like to think that’s the transfer crowd.
Whatever lets you sleep at night I guess, gaisocks always did have estimation issues when it came to rvr
Just a tip, its Gaiscíoch

Because its advantages the defending site and if they want to get revived there are Reviving Orbs for the times where there is no friendly player around you for revive.
Yup, WvW newbie. Disregard everything.
Yea that newbie sadly have Invasion Coat (400 badges) plus 250+ badges in bank.
And around 3 000 WvW kills.
Totally newbie yea…while you’re probably not even close to that badge and kills numbers.
P.S. haters gonna hate lol.
Uh yeah…
+ the Invaders Scepter (264 badges), and not counting badges spent on siege.

Can you describe the ‘click-teleporting’ to me? I’m always curious about all this so called hacking that is going on. I WvW a LOT, and have yet to encounter anyone who was obviously hacking. That said, I tend to avoid the zerg when I can, so perhaps that is the difference.
Regarding the click hacking, the reason I ask is because I play a S/P thief, and also have various shadowstep/return utilities. Someone who doesn’t know the thief class and/or that particular spec could mistake it for hacking. Just curious…
The click-teleporting is where users are able to instantly teleport to any location they can click on. It looks a bit like lag to people who aren’t aware. Depending on whoever is using it, it could be very obvious (jumping across the map), or discrete (small leaps every few seconds)
It was quite obvious. I am a mesmer. The hacker was a mesmer. The hacker was holding an orb. So I obviously could tell that it wasn’t any mesmer skills, coupled with the fact that you are limited to orb skills while holding the orb means that class skills were out of question.
And I’ve played other classes and can recognize the difference between hacking and skills.

@Isredel
I didn’t say it couldn’t be simply Mesmer portaling, I said that it’s more likely that at least some of them have gained access illegally, due to the insane amount of times this has happened. It has happened to us a lot, and I don’t think it’s reasonable to say you guys have a Mesmer on hand and in the tower/keep that often. It could be another way, but what’s the more reasonable conclusion? That your server is perfect, stashes Mesmers in tons of towers/keeps, and that we just happen to never ever find your guys (even though I’ve personally found multiple people)?
@Foresight
Many Darkhaven players have shouted (simultaneously) that they’ve witnessed all sorts of cheating, from hacking to exploiting entry into our towers. It’s not uncommon for you to be in WvW, and suddenly see multiple people shout things like “Did you guys see that? They cheated to get in!” all at the same time. More than that, SF members have separately claimed to have seen the exact same thing on more than one occasion. It’s not just Dh that thinks this.
I’m not saying that it’s impossible SoR is entirely innocent of any form of cheating. I’m saying it’s unreasonable to suggest that is is.
To be fair, there are many players who are unaware or don’t understand the use of portals. To them, seeing a bunch of invaders in their towers must be puzzling. On the otherhand, I’m not saying SoR is completely devoid of hackers. I, myself, saw a click-teleporting character last week. However, the actions of a few individuals whom the server has no control of should not tarnish the server’s reputation. There are hackers on all servers, but they do not represent the entirety of their servers.

Honestly, DH doesn’t sweep or at least doesn’t know enough hiding spots. I can frequently hide in half the buildings in the the borderlands and not get caught.
Unless you actively see people flying or speedhacking, its not fair to assume hacking is taking place.

Sanctum only has really 2 guilds doing WvW and lots of other pugs, that do the jumping puzzle of sit afk. Sanctum of faces a lot of problems in the WvW area but Fallen Lords is uniting the server and has started an alliance to assist in this matter. However, as things are you never know what will or will not happen when 2week long battle begins.
I’m EST but I’ve been told that Sanctum is a PST server. -_- so yeah arond 6pm pst sounds about right. I know when Server reset happens at 7pm est my guild is there in full force all 300 of us. o/
This is the biggest load of crap I’ve read on the forums.
As I’m writing this, you’re sitting in EB jumping puzzle with pug you pulled and FL.
Pray tell what alliances you’ve made? All ‘alliances’ that you’ve attempted so far have broken apart because you refuse to work with people unless they exclusively use your Raidcall (lol) channel.
