Not sure if this would diminish the game or hurt it in some way that I can’t see but I would like to formally ask for a way to access the TP outside of the game. Some sort of App or simply just access through the website would be amazing.
My reasons are pretty simple:
- I can’t always get to my home computer.
- I have multiple other ways of accessing the Internet. (iPad, crappy laptop, etc.)
- I like having access to the game everywhere, even just this small part.
I know it would probably take a lot to get going and it’s probably a ton of work to get something like this up and running but I would absolutely love to have this. I would be using it all day.
Also, I have a degree in Mathematics with a focus in Prob&Stat. For a sample size to really be significant enough for us to draw any conclusions from it, it has to be about 1500. And if TheRabbit is correct about the 75%ish drop rate and a sample size of 5000 we can Math this real nice. We can actually say that we are over 98% sure that out of 4 salvages we will get 3 ecto.
But YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND this is a random event. Each salvage independent of the last. You can salvage 100 rares and get 0 ecto, you probably murder small children to have that bad of luck, BUT IT IS A POSSIBILITY.
ANet specifically denied DR on salvaging.
Could we get a link to that?
Yaaa..... How many classes are there and how many races and how many different story line possibilities? There are reasons to buy gems. It’s for people that don’t have an infinite amount of time to earn the gold needed for those bag slots, and bank slots AND yes even character slots.
And though I have not yet bought any, the armor you can buy with gems does look pretty cool. You do have to admit that. =]
In short yes.
The safest way to play the “trading post game” is to find items that are being offered for twice the price being asked. You place a bid slightly higher for one or two and walk away for a while, i usually wait 12 hrs. When you come back pick up the item and post it for sale or if you we’re unlucky take down your bid. Simple rinse and repeat. Obviously the more gold you have the more items you can bid on and the more effective this becomes.
In the beginning I would scour the TP looking page by page for these items, now though there do be a tool available for finding the items a bit faster:
