the current average sits at 1.2 ecto(s) per salvage, it was 1.8 before they nerfed it…
My calculation are based on probability with a sample size of 5000
They need to redesign the trade post UI, so that when you click to buy or sell an item all of the relevant information is shown on a single page(i hope someone from anet reads this simple sentence)
IE buy/sell orders listed on 1 window, with your own order highlighted amongst the masses… i find myself checking orders and sale prices when selling or buyng things just because this information is highly valuable…
This has already been done properly in games like EVE online, and i dont see why ANET just doesnt rip some of the user interface ideas from ccp…
the whole trade post user interface is complete garbage, who ever designed it obviously doesnt use the thing lol
The BLC are already a complete waste of gold as is…. with this most recent mistake they made extending the time these items appear they only make these chests look even more useless…
Ive opened around 3000(atleast)chests just for the hell of it, and i can say 100% that its not worth even buying 1 key. Anet doesnt think these things through… ill never buy another chest again and soon they will realize this one choice they made will stop players like me buying(which for sure 1% of players open 90% of chests)
So basicaly ANET shot them selves in the foot, no one like me will ever take these chests serious again, and avoid buying keys…
just FYI 80% of the items i got from chests i had to destroy because they dont stack up…
i buy 3000 keys because i made alot of gold, but i HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! DO NOT BUY BLC ITS A RIPOFF!!
I really like the current system as is, and i do alot of speculating on the trade post daily, roughly 1000g atleast specifically being used because i think those items are being sold to cheap at this moment and i am expecting a price rise.
Some items i may lose a small amout or a may make a small amount but the volume of goods being bought and then resold is a profit overtime. This is your key to having basically an unlimited supply of gold, however it takes alot of work and the trade post interface is very very cumbersome, its not very efficient at all and to keep your orders on top all the time is next to impossible.
The way around all this is to try and speculate on a great number of different things, where the overall profit margin is your goal, not the individual items!
After opening another 125gold worth of chests i eneded up doing quite well yesterday with getting a few high value skins!
definatly not making a profit but im still pleased to say it did give me a “luck” streak…
I want the permanent trade post npc, the rate must be quite low…
Please enable these black lion tools to be stackable (250)
The second i have to destroy items i get from black lion chests is the last time i ever purchase keys…
I have all bank tabs open,personal guild vault… all full and mostly with items from black lion chests.
Soon i will have to destroy these items to make room, and theres no way im leaving lions arch to use them until the bots are fixed!!
FORGE FORGE FORGE FORGE
when ya fall asleep at the forge multiple times… then ya know your making the big $$$
They close the threads because anyone who may want to buy GW2 might come into the forums before hand to see how things are shaping up…
Had i known about ANETs history of botting issue in their previous titles i would not have bought GW2 at all…. my bad i guess
25 years of online gaming i learned time and time again to do my research, i overlooked the botting issue but never again!
ANET will come to a realization when they release the 1st expansion pack… million+ players will not buy it because of the botting problem, and i wont get suckered in either, youl see they do a big bunch of ban waves when that date comes, but unless the problem is 90% fixed theres zero chance ill ever spend a penny on this game.
wts 2 bank tabs full of these tools….
oh wait…
400 chests or so opened so far, i got 2 bank tabs full of blacklion tools 14 stacks of blacklion salvage kits 200+ repair canisters 300+ transmuation stones + tons all the other garbage
None of which ill ever use… I keep buying keys because gold is so easy to make but even then what the hell am i supposed to do with all this garbage. The worst thing is that mad king chest, they want me to use the only usefull item coming from chests guaranteed… fail
i would like to see ALL of the bots gone so i can go back to enjoying the gw2 world
I have noticed a trend aswell prices have droped since the first day of the event but have become stable at current rates.
I have given it some thought as to why and my guess is that demand is way down with more and more players busy with the event rather then at the trade post…
Bots are the main supply of items to the market, their supply doesnt drop but player demand drops because of event = falling prices
I have made more gold starting from 2nd day of event then i have made any other day previous, lower prices means greater returns using the forge… (HINT for ALL)
part of the problem is everyone having to put a value on gold made in a game, this is just CRAZYNESS
nothing you get in a virtual world has any value whatsoever, If you want to put a value on your time GO GET A kittenIN JOB.
I wanted to see what if any progress had been made getting rid of the bots today, i left lions arch for the 1st time in weeks and went to penitent/shelter in cursed…. EPIC FAIL
Theres nothing ANET can say to me that can explain to me why they dont hire some slacker pay them minimum wage and sit at these “botspots” in 1 day i could eliminate 1000+ botters alone( on one server)…
THERES NOT ENOUGH EFFORT BEING DONE.
i dont know any other way i can think about this problem, sheer laziness of ANET staff is the thing i can think of the makes sense…
My weekely bot post, cya next monday!!
Ive done very very extensive testing on this mystic forge thingy…. lets say i have run through over 2000 gold worth of items and time and time again $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I have to say that it is not completely random, it cannot be from my own extensive observations. There is a random element to it but it goes much much much deeper then just a “RNG” this i gurantee!!
My sales operation is so huge theres no way i can know for sure how much i lost, i did get some of the $$ back from cancled orders but i certain i lost atleast 80-100g today
1 minute after they annouced part 3 of the madking quest, the lag caused screwed it up..
wish i knew for sure how much $ i lost, id make a much bigger stink about it had i been 100% sure the amounts here.
Only part of MMO i truly enjoy is amassing a huge amout of wealth before i get completely bored!!
You wouldnt beleive the amount of work it takes to complete nearly 2 million transactions possible… I deserve every copper!
No way i could ever spend my horde, but ill keep plugging away at it for now!!
Without giving away my secrets, ill just say the the current bot driven economy + forge is your freind….
It all started to go bad when they annouced the part 3 of the mad king quest, everyone swarmed to lions and the problems started…
Im not willing to accept a 300ish gold loss… lets hope for the best!
I been losing 300+ gold already everytime i cancle a buy order im not getting the $ returned, this is the 1st time its happened and it keeps happening at this very moment
Lucky i caught it before it ate more then 300g,,, FYI it needs to be checked.
Something to do with being thrown into Lions arch overflow server messed it all up
1372190 of items bought
187260 of items sold
It totaly crazy and ive already reached the top amout of gold per hour 1 man could possibly do unless they redesign the trade post user interface…. complete overhaul is needed
(edited by Zelot.8276)
I have so many black lion tools,repair kits,transmute stones,mystery tonics,bank/merchant….
Theres no way i could ever use what i have even after 1000’s of hours of gaming, in a year ill still have much of this stuff!
Im VERY disapointed ANET decided that to get a madking chest i have to use one of the only usefull items coming out of blacklion chests BOOSTERS!!
Bad form!!
Add recipes for ALL these garbage items, anything that is souldbound i want an option other then clogging up my inventory space or destroying the items. With all the BOTS around i refuse to leave Lions arch for more then 30 mins or so at a time, so the 1000 tools i got are useless to me….
Thanks!
in the meantime i am no longer having fun playing gw2, aswell as all my freinds and basicaly my entire guild of 200+
Game over….
it doesnt matter, it doesnt look like they are gona do anything about the bots, thus no one is going to spend anymore $ on this game…
Its been way to long since ive heard any word from ANET about the mass bots destroying the game… how about an update on your lack of progress and your next plan of action to mislead the community into thinking your actualy doing something about it?
ban waves of 3000 is just an insult, theres 1 million bots out there and this game is starting to die fast, NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY VS BOTS
crafting/forge, what else could it be!! 12 hours at the forge = 100/g a day profit but you need to create and forge the proper items to come out with that kind of profit…
But i will say that i stopped counting my profit margins weeks ago, its guaranteed gold!
yea prices are so low because of the million + botters, this allows a smart consumer to make 100g/day easy without ever leaving the city.
I cant just say how i do it, because it would just make things harder for me.
Fighting bots for kills at the best farming spots just isnt fun so i gave up farming all together.
All the highest tier crafting mats are so cheap because of the million bots, theres no need to farm anyways.
Its all for the best though because ive managaed to make 1700 gold so far just sitting in LA, but now i kinda wanna go back out in the world to farm a bit…
Has there been any improvement in the amount of bots yet?
the game already getting a horrible reputation worldwide as botwars 2, theres no way this goes much anywhere as an E-Sport until they clean up the other aspects of the game IE BOTTING
Ive opened well over 200 chests already and im getting 90% garbage. I had anticipated ANET putting in recipe to remove all this garbage to give me chance at something etter, the problem is they got it all wrong…
Instead of making us use the ONLY usefull item that comes from black lion chests(booster), how about these mad king chest use some of the 300 or so transmute stones that i could never ever possible use!! Perhaps have the mad king chests use some of the 100+ repair canisters i have… wow what a great idea since repair canisters are pretty much useless and id never use 100+ playing for thousands of hours…
Hmmn now that im thinking on it why not just put a recipe in to use 100 useless tonics… er mystery tonics for a mad king chest, i only have 800+ now which give me a good giggle everytime i spot them in my bank!!
Hire me i got lots of good ideas that your staff missed!! what a joke!!
