whats wrong with flipping?

There is no “value added” to an item from flipping, just profiting from other players.

If the general consensus is that flipping, speculation and market manipulation are ok from the majority of players then I have my answer. I’m just disappointed in the answer.

Playing the TP makes the most money, I know. I just thought there’d be more people who thought this isn’t right.

Seems I’m wrong.

Gehenna.3625:

Flipping or playing the TP is endgame for a fair number of people.

So would you like it if they closed the WvW areas or all the dungeons?

If playing the TP is considered end-game then that doesn’t say much for the quality of GW2 level 80 content.

Since when would the TP become closed under such a system? People can still buy anything they need and sell everything they get that they don’t want.

Anything you buy on TP should be account bound, but you can sell anything you receive via loots drops, chest rewards, crafting, mystic forge use etc etc

No more flipping
No more inflating prices artificially
Stuff becomes cheaper due to not paying a “flipper premium”

I cannot see any downside to this idea.

Thoughts?

Are there any EU servers who farm this?

I had a nice 15 mins on ruins of sumaria, got about 72 bags, would be nice to find a server that coordinates not to kill the giant.

BTW thanks OP, wouldn’t have known about this farm if not for you.

Chullster, could u swap in knights armor w/ berserker trinkets/rings/weapons/etc. just to give urself alil extra in the way of armor?

There’s no point doing PvE is anything other than berserker armour, unless you’re a condition build. The hammer stuns and the 30 points in defensive trait line is enough.

Here’s a link to what I play in PvE, I swap Stomp for Dolyak sig when needed.

All the stuff that happens below this is just me bragging while proving my point. None of it is superbly expensive, but it is a collection that has occurred over this games duration thus far.

That’s a lot of useless junk you have there.

600g+ worth of farming not skill to “earn” a Precursor.

Or lucky draw of the rng where you spend 3 seconds killing a risen chicken and getting it.

I can speak from having done it both ways.

My first precursor I got from the MF. However I didn’t use rares like everyone else seems to.

There was an official post from Anet on this forum saying level 80 exotics are highest chance for a precursor, so obviously I used that method, took about 50-60g buying exotic hammers at just over 2g each.

Then one first day of dragon festival Zap dropped for me in cursed shore while I was doing shelter on my own, everyone else was looking at the new shines.

I have never, ever understood why people who actually want a precursor to craft with rather than sell, use rares and sell the exotics, it’s like they’re in love with gambling preferring lower odds but more attempts, madness.

Hello all,

This is my first real suggestion to improve the game so be gentle.

I understand why DR is used, no problem there, stop the botters etc.

I think that a traffic light system, or simple active/inactive indicator would help real players not fall foul of the anti botting measures, allowing them to change location/character when they have been playing somewhere too long.

No idea if this addition would be bad, due to giving botters more help to get around DR, as I’m not a programmer.

All I do is actively play the game and I would appreciate it if I knew I was better off moving location, and when to do so.

Thanks Anet for a game that is great value for money.

LezardValeth.9453:

Interesting, I do have a few questions though.

EDIT: Nevermind, those are sigils.

Have you tried it in PVP? I know this is written entirely for PVE and that’s understandable. It might make a good glass cannon build for PVP though.

No idea I don’t like GW2 PvP compared to GW1 PvP

ZvZ? sure why not? It’s all about the tagging and burst for jollies.

Now you too can actually use Deathshroud to pwn all of pve like me!

OTT title? check!
Bandwagon jumping? check!
Claims of awesomeness? check!

Sigils

Axe – Force
Warhorn – Strength

Dagger – Bloodlust
Optional 2nd warhorn – 2nd copy of Bloodlust

Stuff that might matter if it works:

1. Axe training damage buff should effect the damage from skills in Deathshroud as well as Close to Death

2. Life force gain from crits: have no idea if this works with life transfer or other skills while in Deathshroud, but I seem to able to spend an awful long time in DS, and the lifeforce bar actually refills rather than sustains.

Conclusion with claims of 1337 damage

I wakittenting nearly 8k with no bloodlust stacks, sigil of strength or scholar runes (used ruby orbs until today)

I’m going to finish changing stuff and see if I can get over 10k piecing hits from DS skill 1.

You can 3 shot mobs in Orr with DS skill 1 without the 3 modifications, I aim to 2 shot them in the future.

This build and DS in general is now lots of fun trying to line up the mobs to be scythed by your Life Blast

Remember: it doesn’t drop damage now when the lifeforce bar drops, so use it at any stage for pwnage, and spamming it grants more might and vulerability.

Moxie.8531:

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. Hate to be a bother, but I really wanna try out this 30 0 10 0 30 build. Does anyone have a link? I tried to search for it, but not having any luck.

As I said before, it’s bad, don’t use it, search GWguru for a proper DPS necro build.

Don’t run the 30/10/0/0/30 build; it’s crap.

the real dps for a necro is 30/30/0/0/10
