There is also some limitations on the capability of profit maximization because the consumer in the GW2 environments gets all of their options in one source (the TP), which rarely happens in the real world. If I want to buy a TV, I can search many brick and mortar stores, their corresponding websites as they often vary in price, as well as many online retailers. Even price comparison websites fail to keep and update all the details specific to special offers with each deal. In GW2, the consumer can instantly see every possible seller and obviously chooses the lowest one. Also, producers being unable to differentiate themselves via value-add type services (customer service/quality of goods) is another significant difference. In GW2, every Elder Wood Log is the same, it doesn’t matter what server or tree it originated from. It’s lumped in with all the other Elder Wood Logs.

Not sure where best to post this, but this seems like a good start.

I just started getting into WvW last week and I’m absolutely loving it. For now I just flow around and try to pitch in whenever anyone asks over the map, and of course running with the zerg at times. Since I am still working out some of the dynamics, it seems improved coordination or information about planned online times etc would be useful. Maybe our server doesn’t play to this extent, but I think I’ve seen mention that this all generally exists. Anyone able to provide additional insight or specifics?

Added question… how do you add a signature on these forums? I’ve clicked the forum profile and my account and not seeing that option.
