Guild Wars 2

Well this is a great way to make profit. If you don’t like it, don’t participate in it.

The buyers get what they want and the sellers make good profit, assuming its a fair deal and everyone pays their end of the bargain.

This was going to happen eventually, and it will continue to happen because some people feel that dungeons aren’t worth the trouble (for example, Arah which can take a long time depending on the group), but still want their tokens for gear and would gladly pay gold for it.

Skipping is great. It’s not as easy as some people feel it is. Usually it fails because people fail to skip, but if you have an experienced group you can complete dungeons and get the reward as quickly as possible and get rewards at a faster rate than killing mobs, assuming you are not triggering diminishing returns.

Most mobs drop trash loot (until the loot system is fixed), and in reality the t5 and t6 mats just really aren’t worth the trouble anymore considering the recent price dips, and you could probably farm mobs elsewhere for those anyways at an easier rate (non-silver mobs).

Also, some people run dungeons just for tokens and not for the gold or loot associated with the dungeon itself so the actual route is irrelevant. Some dungeons and mobs that are perceived to be good farm are actually not and this misconception leads to people complaining about skipping.
