Guild Wars 2

So wait.. (to start off..this isn’t to start a fight) but..from what i’m reading is that a public forum, one that anyone has the free right to express feelings and talk to other people on is apparently “not allowed” by Devona’s rest, also that we cannot express our own feelings on what other people are expressing their feelings on? seems kind of childish in my opnion.. but hey, whatever.

Also, Not all of PRO’s members start stuff with other people (and no, many of our members defend ourselves and don’t actually start with other people)..so I honestly suggest keeping you’re own opinions to “yourselves” considering we have to do the same.. I’ve been with PRO for about 3-4 weeks after the release of the game, I came here when they transfered over to Devona’s rest, none of you have any proof of why we came here except for you’re once again “opinion” based on you’re unknown facts which are indeed wrong… we came to Devona’s rest because we wanted to have a challanging fight and work our way up, we seen the guilds and coordination that people have on this server and we wanted to work with it to make the server even better. not because we seen people transfering to this server, infact we thought people were actually leaving this server, and honestly its true they were losing people.

So once again..not to “fight” with you guys. but please, don’t dissrespect all of a guild because of some of the people..and especially an entire server.

oh one more thing..we came from Gates of Madness. we were 1 of the (maybe 2?) guilds left on that server that didn’t transfer from the month and a half since the release. yet the last 4 weeks we held our own in WvW on Gates of Madness, so we know how it feels to have people transfer off of a server to the server you are fighting..yes, those people should not be able to do so..and honestly I think its a flaw that should be fixed (but its people that are flawed that do it). if you really want to stop vsing us..then stop WvWing and let us get our score as high as possible so we’ll be out of here as quick as possible. but then again..we’ve had some good fights with both of you’re servers..so it keeps it interesting.

Sorry for the text wall..but figured maybe you all might reconsider you’re thoughts. and no, i’m not an officer of PRO nor am I even near that.

Good :p and will do, you’ll have to do without my Mesmer skills

Hey all, and phiz hope you had a good birthday. Just an update for any pro members or anyone with guildies that have nj members I’m safe so far if you want a full story go check out the hurricane sandy post in the wvwvw forums. As for pro, kick some kitten for me since I can’t be on tonight :p

Might as well try, even though my luck is terrible :p

First off this isn’t a crying thread..just want to point out this stuff out to people. To be honest, I might be wrong about some of this. but I’ve tried each of these methods and crunched numbers maybe I made a mistake or something. Anyway,

~Making money on the trade post. Aka, Buying low and selling high.
I just checked out this because I got tired of trying to figure out other ways to make money.
Alright well, lets say you buy Glob of Ectoplasm which right now is a quick selling material. (I’m not sure if every servers trade post is the same but this is on Gates of Madness)

~Just a side note for people who don’t follow. 1685 = 16s 85c, and everything will be rounded down~

Buying 1x Glob of Ectoplasm =1685
Resell Value is 1713

1713 × .85 = 1456 Resell value taxed
1713 – 1456 = 257 Taxed amount you need to have before making a profit
1685 + 257 = 1942 to break even
+ lets say 5 copper = 1947

so in order to make a 5 copper value on each Ectoplasm you sell you would need to resell it at 1947 when the resell value is 1713.

I checked multiple materials and honestly..every one of them is this way.
(also I might have messed up on my math, so correct me if I did it wrong)

~Making money crafting
To be honest..I’ve checked armors, bags, weapons, jewels..I don’t see how you can make a profit unless its crafting something for a cheaper cost then salvaging it (random profit or loss) and then making the item for cheaper aka I can make level 80 rares for about 17s. and salvage them into Ectoplasm and craft exotics and even that I see very little that can make profit. also even tried reselling Ectoplasm and making rares for cheaper again..till I hit the point where I salvage 20 of them and get no ectoplasm. (like I said before though, I may be missing some stuff)

~Farming Nodes
Farming Orichalcum ore, Omnom berries, or Ancient wood..to be honest I farm Orichalcum ore and Ancient Saplings..but thats all because its a fast 30 minute profit for about 1-2g. but now that its a 24 hour spawn time..its just gone down the drain.

~Farming Dungeons
To be honest..I don’t like the dungeons on GW2. they aren’t bad..but they aren’t my style. plus the Diminishing Returns are a turn-off for me. (I have heard this is a great way to profit though)

~Farming WvW
WvW is very fun in my opinion..you just need to not die and kill people / capture and defend areas. but my server at the moment is suffering from everyone leaving and is losing about every week now terribly.

~Farming Events/Dragons
I’ve farmed events but again Diminishing return is a turn-off, also..I’ve killed about 60 dragons so far..and the last 3 times I tried with a Magic Buff from the Boosters (+50% MF) also, I have full MF set of gear, MF 2nd weapon, and MF Swimming weapon..so I calculated it and I have around 162% MF with the booster, gear and if 2nd weapons and swimming weapons count I have 168% MF.. I have yet to get a rare from a dragon once withing that many kills.. (obviously my luck is very, very bad..)

~Just farming random mobs
Diminishing return..very boring, (guess if I had vent to talk to people though it might be more fun..but thats not my playstyle. I’m more of a WvW/Trade post person)

~PvP
I have no idea how PvP is right now, I haven’t even tried it yet so I can’t comment on this sorry all.

~Mystic Forge
(I know this isn’t the best way to make money, but it can be good) Like I said before..my luck is terrible. I’ve made profit on merging lower tier materials into higher grade ones using skill points..but I ran out of skill points. (went from 50s to 13g using 220 skill points). As for merging items..like I said, my luck is terrible..

I figured maybe this will save some people time, maybe I just have bad luck with GW2 lol.
