Guild Wars 2

As someone who is currently working on my Flameseeker, I am of the feeling that the other items are completely fine to get, grab and otherwise farm up and craft at the forge. They are very balanced and ask for items that I would expect SHOULD be a part of an item like it. Right now, I’m sitting with my Gift of the Flameseeker, Gifts of Fortune and Gifts of Mastery in my bank. It was fair, fun and I liked farming for them!

The Precursor, on the other hand, is a joke. It’s based on RNG, a market that, sadly, is ruled by individuals and by whatever rules and loot scales are set by ANET. This, whereby, being the issue that is being addressed. Hopefully, with the new content and patch coming soon, we will see an increase in the drop rates for the ’cursors, because the rate at which you can earn this gold is a little nuts.

Let me state this another way: The Chosen, though not nearly as expensive as other ‘cursors, went from 200g about three-four weeks ago to now being 500g just a few days ago. The price has come down a bit again to around 430-450g (which I’m personally glad to see… heh) but just two days PRIOR to this 500g price tag, the price on The Chosen was 300g.

What happened? What suddenly made people go “Oh, people want this; we as The Chosen selling community need to spike the price.” Nope. I’m better (theory incoming) it was one person with a good amount of gold that bought up the cheaper one’s and now has a few up again at higher prices. The asking rates? Still around 310g.

Personally, if you are farming for one of these ‘cursors and you have a price set in mind, then don’t buy it from the broker at that price. Give the demand at a price on the broker, and eventually someone’ll get fed up enough to not just post it and hope someone may buy it.

Thanks for reading, and I’m hoping my view gave someone some insight. Still crossing my fingers for a scavenger hunt…

Glad to know I’m not the only one having this issue… First it’s not being able to access CoF, now it’s I can’t DO CoF properly… Painful.

Can’t wait for Magg to get worked out; he’s by far one of the most screwed NPC’s ever.

How can this not be priority #1. Ask Blizzard how they do it, anything. Instead your adjusting tokens, nerfing dungeons for people who run it too fast and all kinds of things while the majority of people can’t even get a group into the same instance??

We have multiple teams working on different things. In the case of this issue, we have programmers working on this solution since it is purely based on background things.

Whereas tokens and exploit fixes/nerfing/buffing is largely a design thing with code support for things we currently aren’t capable of (see: DR system). We’re actively working on an assortment of issues, and I guarantee you that the party functionality is top priority for a team of very dedicated folks.

Only one question… WHEN? Its 5 days now… and weekend is here and still nothing…

They updated the stick for the dungeons mentioning they had found the fix for the tokens giving back low amounts of tokens, so my bet is hopefully a fix around then.
