You’re thinking of the wrong solution. If prices for T6 mats/Precursors etc. are the problem, then the answer is to VASTLY increase drops of the above. Make T6 mats a guaranteed drop from certain foes. Increase supply faster than players can use it up, and prices will tumble.

Trying to farm more gold for a finite supply of mats will just result in prices continually climbing higher, creating a vicious cycle.

You are wrong. this event provides a large quantity of Champions bags and packets, from where t5 and t6 mats drops. make 50 t5 in an hour per type allow people to convert easily in t6 mats.
The more we can loot, the lower are the prices at AH. If anet don’t give players ways to loot t6, the ones in AH rise higher and higher. The more we farm, the lower the prices get!

The Champ bags also give raw coin. THAT’S the main problem with them. Each bag on average gives about, say, 5 silver, right? Well, multiply that 50 bags for 1 hour of farming. Now multiply THAT by 100+ players. And multiply that again by however many map overflows are farming Blix. That is an extraordinary amount of gold being pumped into the economy, far more than would outweigh the extra T6 mats and Cores/Lodestones being generated.

Again, if you want prices to tumble, you really need to VASTLY increase supply. I’m talking about an increase in supply on the level of every single Veteran killed dropped a guaranteed T6 mat. Every single Champion killed drops a guaranteed Lodestone.

I agree. But here we are talking about DECREASE the t6 mats drops. Lodestone prices aren’t the problem. They’re not rising. The problems are T6, runes, sigils and exo/precursors.
If anet continues in his decrease of ways to drop this things, prices will continue to rise and a lot of frustrated players continue to leave the game.

Better be careful with this fixes. Anet continuosly nerf drop, nerf rewards, nerf loot… We are earning every day less money/drops than the previous and the prices continue to rise.
1g = 5 gems (WTF, a year ago 1g = 100 gems)
But this is the gemstore, i can stand it
62s = 1 powerful vial of blood (5 months ago 28s = 1 powerful vial of blood)
1300g Spark (march 2014 525g = spark. April 2014 715g = spark)

The prices are rising of more than 100% and the loot and rewards are getting worse and worse.
The ridicolous thing is that fail events and repeat them is more rewarding that succed in them.
This game is getting more and more frustrating, buy something at trading post is becoming ridicolous.
And moreover, why nerfing this kind of exploit, when there are people grinding auction house making money that way? I’m sure and well aware that also auction house isn’t designed to get the rich richer and get the poor on the pave.

Useless change. Who cares droppin 6 – 10 bags in a mass event like this? The worst reward in all the gw2 history.
I’d like to know WHY, devs take a great and appreciated event like the old CROWN PAVILION and change it to this kitten. No drops and YOU HAVE TO PAY for the main event. And the main event have very poor drops.
Please, give us back the old, good, rewarding crown pavilion.

20th March 2014: Spark price: 580g. 22nd April 2014: Spark price: 929g.
“We want to control the price of precursors on trading post”… Anet, u’re doing wrong…

I can’t farm enough money to keep up the price the precursor i want to buy. On monday, spark was at 628g/680g. Now is 840g/962g. Nonsense.
T6 mats are rising too… That’s not so legendary.
Feature patch will not fix this problem and as well, will not fix other problems of this game (RNG, same build for every class, Ranger and engineer un-playable in pve, more use for commander and account bound, new skills, new maps, new dungeons).
Quite disappointed, wildstar and teso are coming. The new WoW pack is coming. Diablo 3 expansion is already out. And gw2 is offering nothing of what we need.
4.2k hours of game, 2 legendaries, need only precursor for the third, never drop anything with more valuable than 3g outside of the key farming. If i need to farm kittening Keys to keep up with current prices, well, it’s a little sad…

I’d just like to have dungeons feel like dungeons, and not stacking on every corner to afk auto attack everything dead. If there was a trinity system, maybe it’d be better, since as it stands PvE is basically “Wear zerker, stack and kill everything.” It gets really dull.

You know, you don’t have to do dungeons like that….

Why don’t you fight the mobs and bosses without stacking? Oh wait, would that be too difficult?

It’s like everyone that complains about stacking is complaining about how dull and boring dungeons are because of it, yet if they were to try it without stacking, suddenly its too hard and takes too long and no one wants to. So which do you want, difficult content or easy content?

Why don’t you people quit taking the easiest possible path to completion. Then maybe dungeons wouldn’t be so dull…

Wanna make dungeons interesting? STOP STACKING IN CORNERS. If you continue to just stack, then you can’t complain about it being dull because there are other options.

You think that you REALLY can make millions of player stop using game glitches to speedclear simply telling them to not do?

I think that Anet simply wants to make an end to the word “Speedclear”. No game I played have boss encounters of 3 seconds.
The problem is that everything could be solved introducing a better system of collisions in game, so the “mechanic” of stack couldn’t be in game anymore.
But “nerfing” the speedclear gear is simpler.
Personally, I think this nerf will not bring anything good to the game. Squishy zerker will be MORE squishy, because the fight will take more time. And OBV squishy zerkers, proud of theyr big domages, will not want support build to not slow theyr run any more. So, a party of 5 zerk pugs, will take longer time, because of the non optimization of party. The more squishy is the class, the more beginners will be kicked from parties, fearing they makes zerkers pro slow down. Speed. it’s all a matter of speed. And personally, I don’t find any sort of enjoyment to end a bossfight in 3 seconds, but this is not the solution. Maybe a start, but knowing only what we know, this solution is worst of the problem.

Having the same problem, Yesterday I had no connection issues at all

So, noone answer me. This is a demonstration of your way

Still haven’t an answer. Thanks anet, you make me waste a lot of time!

Still don’t get an answer… And still disonorable. Still can’t play with my friends for your fault… Thanks Anet

And obviously, I’ll not get a refound for this time wasted…

Ok, wanna check something. I’ve been reported for flaming and i’ve been instant contacted by a moderator. I had this problem 22 hours ago, i lose the possibility to have glory bonus and packs and NO MODERATOR contact me. It’s a little absurd…

15 hours, and i still can’t doing PvP… I’m losing Glory and Bags… I’m really starting get kittened

10 hours passed… I can’t play… And no answer…

I still with Dishonored debuff in game… Wanna do something?

I still waitin a response. Already lose an hour of sPvP with glory bonus.

because the high damage (less than a war, mesmer or Ele) comes at the cost of condition removal, heal and boons for party……..And a guard with no such support skills is like a War without his big damage coming from GS2.

- Guardian has better potential DPS with most of the damage buffs present than warrior. Already mathematically proven.

- What use is your heal if the party doesn’t need it?

- DPS guard can bring condi removal/boons/reflects/aegis using utility skills. All the extra you bring by using useless PVE traits are just extra fat.

- The point is optimization – meaning don’t be fat, be lean.

Stampede.5308:

Stampede, 3500 hours of game maining a support guardian, never been kicked from a party. Support is a reality. Only idiots thinks that this game is all about zerk gear!

3500 hours yet you’re not exactly breaking records or having the math in proving your build is better.

When it comes to dungeons PVE is all about zerk gear for now, it has proven to be the fastest and best. I distinctly remember hrouda (previous dungeon designer) to say that if you have a good team you can run full zerk, if you dont then pad up with defensive stats.

More damage = faster kill. So unless you can heal your enemies to death i don’t see it being essential

So if you think you’re better than the people who create the records, please post your own evidence or mathematical calculations; claims with no evidence are worthless.

Never talked about records, But succes rate. A downed player makes no DPS.
If noone goes downed, DPS of 4 player is the same of 5 that continuosly go downed. If the thing is MAKES THE MOST DAMAGE, you only need to play a party with 5 same classes/builds. So, what’s the point of having 8?

Hoping to see you in game, so I can see if u with an Obal’s build guardian, can have a normal run without being downed!

Cat Has Ducks.1982:

@Stampede. He brining dem OP dodge healls. Keeping all you zerker noobs alive.

Zerker are not noobs. The game need zerkers. And zerkers needs someone who keep them alive.

The Obal build is 25/30/0/0/15.
The Support buil is 0/0/30/30/10.

I don’t see where Obal’s one have traits in support’s trait lines.

In the Obal’s post, he says that build is the one with more damage, not the strongest and not the most useful.

With my mesmer normally can do 40k+ damages with first burst, never see that numbers, also with obal build (that I tried a lot).

Please, learn to play before copycat builds thinking to be pro only just watching a video of big damages, after minutes of boon set up.

Dungeon’s run are very different from DNT gameplay videos. I repeat, never seen a support guardian been kicked. I see lot’s of time a Obal permadowned guardian been kicked. If a guardian can’t remove my conditions, is rubbish. With my guard i have 3 aoe skill that give 2 boons and convert 1 contion into boon. Break stun, stability, protection, regeneration, and other useful things to turn a permadowned zerker
into a war/mesm/ele/necro/thief. I got 12 stacks of might, lots of healing skills and regen and dodging (and with sigils i can dodge a lot) i heal 1.8k AoE for dodge.

I have 4 skills that give Aegis (yes 4) and that can let the war end his hundred blades. These are ALL things that Obal’s build can’t grant to party and yourself. But obal build can do 3k damage of autoattack. GREAT, the same damage that my mesmer do with HIS autoattack.

I think that most of guys write on this post never try out a guardian. And, moreover, never try out a ranger.

Please, learn to play.

Hi, a few minutes ago I tried enter a tournament with a team of guildmates, in Team Arena. It disconnected me badly and the game didn’t make me log in (when i chose a character, the client kick me out of the game). After the match, the game let me enter and now I’m dishonored. So, it’s not my fault if THE GAME DIDN’T MAKE ME JOIN MY TEAM. Now I can’t do PvP with friends for 3 days. In the glory bonus week end. I hope you solve my issue quickly.

Ah, ok, i misunderstood. I’ll wait for the mods to move this thread

But other accounts drop and mine not!

Hi, I’ve played this game, according to /age, for 3995 hours. The Biggest drop I have is an exotic staff (about 2g). In my guild I see everyone dropping nearly averything existing in this game. Got 2 guildmates (1200 hours and 1500 hours) that dropped 6 precursors each one. Another drops 2 precursor in 4 days (700 hours). Another one drops 2 molten jetpack from this event (about 900 hours). I’ve the highest magic find in my guild (nearly 180%). I’m starting to think that i’m bugged. I think it’s impossible that everyone is dropping like hell and I’m dropping [Banana].

1- I use greatsword and axe+wh (greatsword let’s me dodge,which is critical for 1 hit bosses)

2-Yes.

3-Yes.

4- Spider and jaguar/jungle stalker for might.

5- No, I use soldier with zerk trinkets.

I am a dungeon forums frequenter. And the axe on a ranger is seen as a giant No No. That thing is terrible, and will often get you kicked. Running stuff like that will create the bag stigma people have with Rangers. The Longbow is the obvious kick on sight, but axe rangers are generally viewed as not knowing their class(I’m not being mean here, just letting you know what the perception is).

Same as Guardian. If they join the dungeon holding a staff, mace or scepter then they get the boot. Unless its TA, and the staff is only for clearing blossoms.

Point I’m trying to make, is that Rangers dig themselves their own grave by running terrible builds, then it makes everyone who plays the class suffer. The reason why guardians are often saved from being so strictly banished, is because people are dumb. A bad guardian is a bad guardian. They should be booted just as quick as bad rangers, but the general masses of pugs don’t know how to properly filter out bads from goods, so they just use the “kick all X class”.

Any group worth their salt will keep a ranger who has:
1.) sword
2.) spotter, frost spirit
3.) zerker

So if you run the right build and get kicked. Its their lost. If you run a bad build, then you are to contributing to the negative stigma of your class.

So you kick support guardians? The main build of the guardian is support/heal with Mace+Shield and Staff. AH build is Staff/Gs. The only build you are considering is the one with Sword/Focus + Gs, that is completely useless, because the high damage (less than a war, mesmer or Ele) comes at the cost of condition removal, heal and boons for party. And a guard with no such support skills is like a War without his big damage coming from GS2.

The question on ranger is: Range is useless in this game, until the stacking warrior hundred blades system is up. Melee Rangers are DPS, but less than a warrior. So, the “pros” of the game don’t want such style of gameplay. Anet understand this and is trying to fixing this way to play this game.

In Italy we say “The mother of the idiots is Always pregnant” so, u’ll Always find who kick you because u are a Ranger. Also if u got spotter build, Jaguar, Sword+horn/Sword+axe, Frost spirit, healing spring and so on.

Sorry for my english, see you soon!

Seafarer’s rest complete the marionette at 1:05 attempt.

They postponed Ascended armor to next year. They said it last month…

Ok, i checked now and it works regularly. Dunno why Yesterday it doesn’t work. Thanks for the help!

The trait “Juggernaut” of the engineer add to my toughness only 130 points instead the 200 granted from the description. Anyone is experimenting the same issue?
I take the stats at level 80, so it’s not a level scaling problem!

I’ve finished to gather things for my bifrost, and I am on the way for Flameseeker. Only need precursors. I waste (over time) about 2k try in the mystic toilet, with awful results. Never get my Legend (only 6 Ymrildeen). Quite disappointed that Anet gives priorities to other meaningless things (SAB) and not to the prices in the TP, where EVERYTHING (from soft wood to Iron to Precursors to Rare weapons) is Skyrocketing. Before the Ascended weapon patch, Rare staffs on tp can be finded at 28/30s. Now prices are 38/40s. It’s absurd. The legend wet from 580g to 850g, an increase of more than 50%. In 2 days.
Quite disappointed!

Toxity.2547:

Crafted precursors should have their own set of legendaries.
That way, people know who the real “legendary” players are and who got their legendary from easy-mode crafting.

Yes, it’s right! If I want to craft my precursor, obtaining material and stuff trough dungeons and loots, I want a different legendary, not the same of who obtain it from mere luck!

Hi, since Friday evening, I’m experimenting a strange behaviour of my account. From about 21:00 to the next morning, the game continuosly crash and/or I can’t login, giving me an error of connection to servers. Game crashes in the loading map screen. Please help me!
