But then the most amazing thing happened someone sent me 500g in the mail.
Woot?!
Wow, what did you do or say to get such a generous gift?
They posted on the forums, and I saw their plea. :P
Really though, when I see someone working hard for a goal, I sometimes feel inclined to help. If they are willing to actually put in the work, they should be rewarded for that work.
And if people really want to spam me for gold, they can. They will just get blocked though. Begging gets you nowhere in life.
Also, Reimia, dyes are unlocked for your whole account, so no worries who to use it on. Every character will have access to it via the hero panel.
Ooh the man himself responded in here! Really helped me out so much <3. I knew that about the dyes thankfully or I would have been even more torn on Mesmer and Necro. Now I’m just looking for a guild. Having way more fun now that I have the look I want, I knew that’s how it would be lol. It was definitely worth it.
Off track but you just started this game a week ago and already have 410g??
Shoot.
Haha yeah I got up to 620 yesterday. Mostly just doing AB every time it’s up and then about 5-6 runs around bloodtide and sparkfly mining throughout the day. But then the most amazing thing happened someone sent me 500g in the mail. Nicest thing that ever happened to me that’s for sure. I think it’s best that I don’t mention his name though, he’ll get spammed for gold I bet. You know who you are though and thank you very much! <3
Put in the 850 buy order and got it a few hours later, been tossing back and forth between mesmer and necro to figure out which one to go with. I’m glad I got it, there’s no telling whether it’s gonna skyrocket in price by Christmas or have some super sale on the gem store for the jormag kit.
Now to relax on the farming and just play. So much else to learn.
It’s not spoiling my fun don’t worry. I’m up to 620 now so I’m almost there. I listen to podcasts or family guy/south park etc. comedy stuff while farming and it never gets old.
I get what you guys are trying to say, I suppose the normal outlook is that I’m wasting my time and should be going for ascended gear and whatnot. But this is just how I play. I spend hours previewing outfits and dyes in an mmo, acquire them, THEN play the game. This is just how I operate and it doesn’t bug me at all. http://gw2style.com/look.php?id=13784 <— this is what I’m going for btw, I tried previewing it with celestial. Doesn’t work for me. Gonna have it shortly so I need to decide between Necro and Mesmer soon.
When I think about it this thread was basically just me complaining about the surprise price jump. I been playing mmos since EQ and that’s never happened overnight before so it really panicked me, thinking it wasn’t gonna stop there.
Newb question but how do I upvote you guys? When I click the +1 by your names it makes the +1 disappear instead. Does that mean the thread creator is automatically upvoting all posts?
First thing to know: the Trading Post is shared across all servers in both North America and Europe – so there’s a lot of people using it and therefore a lot of activity. It’s not at all unusual for things to change much faster than you’d see in other games trade systems.
In this case however there is something unusual going on, but it’s not some nefarious plot by gold sellers (of any nationality).
Permafrost Dye was only available as part of the Jormag dye kit, which is the newest one to be added to the game but which is now unavailable.
A lot of people expected that the 5th birthday gifts – which players started getting on the 24th when the oldest possible characters turned 5 – would offer the Jormag dyes as one of the choices from the Exuberant Dye Kit (which unlike the gem store packs allows you to choose a specific dye). So they were holding off on buying it and similarly many people who got one from the Jormag kit were trying to sell it before the expected drop in price when the birthday gifts hit.
Then the 24th came and everyone found that wasn’t the case – you can’t get any Jormag dye from the Exuberant Kit. So people who wanted one had no reason to keep waiting and put bids in to buy it. Which of course caused the price to jump up.
The price might dip again once the initial rush of demand dies off, but it’s unlikely it will go back down to what it was unless the dye is made available another way or a brighter white is released. (White dyes, along with black, are almost always among the most in-demand.)
I think your best bet is to get a cheaper white dye like Celestial or Eternal Ice.
Yeah this explained it to me in many ways. Mostly the part that worries me the most is the “no longer available” part of the Jormag kit that it came from.
Also there’s no way I can do that vayne lol, I’m the type that studies what I want aesthetically before doing anything else in a game. I didn’t choose it because it was expensive, the look I want just doesn’t work for me with Celestial. It’s so….greyish. Plus now that I know you can’t even get this dye anymore I really do have to get it as fast as possible.
I’m not risking waiting around hoping they plan to release it some other way and then finding it to be the price of a legendary when Christmas rolls around. Honestly I don’t mind farming, I haven’t done twisted yet and the dragon’s stand meta just didn’t feel worth the time. But AB every 2 hours with mining in between + world bosses got me 400g in a week.
A good amount of the gold comes from master disenchanting all the leather armors I get. For some reason the 6th level leathers that come from them are worth a ridiculous amount. Something I’m not gonna bother looking up quite yet till I finish my look. I’m guessing it has to do with end game gear.
Thanks for answering me everyone. I shall continue farming a very large amount and pray I get to it before it hits 1.5k
I started playing about a week ago, wasted about a day in the wardrobe locker and decided on a look which revolves around the Permafrost Dye. At the time it was 600g which is a hell of alot for a new player but I put in the work and got up to 410g today. Was happy to know I was closing in till I saw this(attachment picture).
What the hell is this? Now all of a sudden it’s 1k g with TWO HUNDRED buy orders at 850 forcing me to go 850.1? Is this some korean gil seller plot? are they running rampant in this game too or is it just some singular person impersonating scrooge on video games. I cannot for the life of me understand the two hundred buy orders for a single use item, can someone smarter than me(basically anyone reading this) explain what’s happening here. Obviously some Auction House manipulation at work here that I cannot fathom.
