Guild Wars 2

First, you can not buy them all. It is technically impossible. But I asume you want to go theoretically.

Theoretically

If you buy everything from one item, people will offer the ectos in their inventory. This will set a certain price. At the same time, new items will come in and a new price)level will be created.

So, that is the answer: people will find a new price level where supply & demand meet each other.

This new price level will not be 2 gold or something crazy like that. The price can not go up indefinatly, because at a certain moment people will simply stop buying them.

Why can’t you buy them all?

A. The current TP.

According to the TP, there are now 12,800 sell orders for ecto, 10,700 of them at 50s or lower.

So, let’s take 42s as the average you will pay for those 10,700, that is 5,000 gold.

1,170 of them are between 50s & 1g, so let’s say another 3,000 gold for those.

350 of them are between 1 and 2g, so that’s another 500g or so and ley’s assume the last 50 ones cost you another 200g (doesn’t matter much).

So, you just spent 9,000 gold to buy all ectos.

That is about 1.25$ = 100gems = 1g28s, so about 9,000 dollars.

B. People’s inventory.

Now… when you start buying up stacks of 250, people will add more ectos. Players will tell it on their guild Mumble servers. People will yell it in map. And as time goes on, more and more people will add ectos, because more and ore people will know someone is paying whatever price for them.

And this is an item that people HAVE stored away, trust me. Pretty much every hardcore player and every trader has them. Dozens. Multiply this with the amount of hardcore players and you are looking at more than 10,000 new ectos, this time at prices waaaaaay higher than the ones on TP.

C. People making them.

Once the ecto-prices are up, alot of people will stopwhat they are doing and start making ectos by buying rares and salvage them.

This will simply break you. You can not keep buying these, because they will keep comming and comming and comming. As in, literally, 100,000 of them if you don’t stop.

The fact that people can make them at will, makes it impossible for you to buy them all.

tl;dr: If you tried this, you’d likely be out tens of thousands of dollars, the price of Ectos would spike, and people would intensively farm ectos until the supply equilibrium with other commodities was restored.

Idk how to get back in Seriously this is so stupid. At least with dungeons if you get dc’d, you can go back in, and continue the dungeon =/ I understand being more experienced etc to do them, but I didn’t realize my net connection has to be strong as well

It’s the armies of robotic squirrels that will invade LA during the final Wintersday event…

Unless you’re salvaging hundreds of rares and exotics after each patch, you don’t have enough data to figure out whether the rate has changed or not.

What is the problem if more important real-life situations took precedence over this one time event? I missed most of the Halloween event just because of that. But I don’t care because real-life is more important.

Would you say… Repeat the Superbowl, I didn’t like the outcome. Repeat the Worlds Fair, I was too young to remember most of it. Repeat the guild event, I was out bowling. The event was announced a long time ago and was specific about times. This game is supposed to be dynamic and not like all the others. There will be more events. I know I won’t make them all but I won’t expect to either. I already missed most of the Halloween event due to work, but I wouldn’t expect them to reset it because I had more important things to do. It’s also not a pay to play so you have to keep that in mind too. Just sayin

I can say one thing about this event. It turned the forums into something like Bliz forums real quick. And I was actually using them too. Oh well, I’m off to watch a movie with my Wife and enjoy real life for a bit. Have fun peeps and get some air.

Yes its an adjustment. Take advantage of cannons, oil and other things you can LOS. I’m just happy Anet didn’t bow to the loud cries to nerf the portal into oblivion. That would be a sad day indeed, and don’t think it can’t happen EASILY. This class is not a class for the mindless zergling. They fear and call foul that which they do not understand(or have to lift a finger or think about countering). But they sure can holler loud on the forums, and they will ruin this whole game eventually(like every other game) with mindless baby-talk if we don’t holler back.

If you see Nerf mesmer posts, make sure you put the hammer down on that malarkey and make your voice heard.

Mesmers still suffer from the world completion star problem after such a long time. There’s obviously not a team specialized on each class, or – sorry – whoever is in this team has no idea of the game, which is pretty much the only way to explain the portal change for example. Which is actually not a nerf or a change but just a case of “uh, let’s do something and see if it works out”. Nope.

The problem is that mesmer really isn’t that ridiculous in PvP (compared to thief cough, cough), people are just stupid as hell. After playing a mesmer for a while you learn their tricks, you learn their weaknesses and strengths, and you learn what to watch out for. I can say with certainty that in sPvP, and especially WvW, I can kill 90% of the mesmers I find regardless of what class I play. I know I’m not that good and I know they’re not that bad (most of them). It’s simply the case that I know what to expect from a mesmer and I know how to spot them in a crowd of clones, which isn’t hard.
Now what upsets me is when I see some idiot ranger or warrior sit there with two or three of my iBerserkers blending them into a fine paste every couple of seconds while mashing buttons trying to kill my clone. It upsets me because these are the people complaining that mesmers are OP and these are the people Anet is listening to.

As a result we get more nerfs on things that weren’t really broken to try to appease these imbeciles. The problem is these imbeciles will still die to the nerfed mesmer because they can’t figure the class out fundamentally. They will continue to die until they figure out the mechanics and they will continue to moan until the nerfs effect us so much that even these basic mechanics can’t kill the lowliest among them.

It is because of this we have such a monstrous reputation in sPvP while our PvE is utter kitten. It is because of this that we continue to see (and will continue to see) numbers nerfs in every patch, despite our abysmal PvE numbers.

I’ve come to the point where I’ve pretty much had it with this game. This last patch has been the straw that broke my mesmer’s back. Until they get their act together and actually fix things that are broken, stop arbitrarily changing numbers, and stop listening to the people who are upset that it’s a bit harder to kill a mesmer than clicking the person and rolling their face on the keyboard, then there’s really no hope for the future of mesmers. On top of the gear treadmill they’re adding, I’ve lost all hope in the game.

Basically you kittened up all the GS mesmers for the upcoming dungeon, I doubt any group will want a piece of dead weight on their teams, please fix it.
