my solution is different because it has less of an impact on the economy than a 1% forced margin of difference (which would drive prices down very fast)
if one copper is that important to you i feel a little sorry for you, but you might change your ways someday when you wana sell something valuable
so, i dont like price undercutting, oh i have no problem with it when its a sizable amount (you decide what sizable is) but when its one copper i find it a little bit….cheap. its like paying 1 copper to go to the front of the line and it does nothing but hurt the people who came before you AND the consumers who are being cheated out of meaningful competition by sellers
what i wana do is this, make it so that, as the buyer, YOU have the power to decide which offer you want to purchase, just click the check box and click buy the way it works now (except it will no longer check all the previous offers). this way people can have the power to both buy and sell however they want, you CAN still undercut and people will still probaly buy your offer (a penny saved is a penny earned and all that) but for buyers like me who look at an offer of 99,99,99 under an offer of 100g and go “thats despicable” we are no longer FORCED to buy from the undercutter
i think this way everyone can get what they want (except people who undercut for a living in which case go mess with another game’s economy).
EDIT
i said it below and il say it again here, stop reffering to me as the seller who is getting undercut and giving me “advice” on how to no longer get undercut…this is not happening to me….i am the buyer who wants to buy from the more expensive seller in this scenario

i got a FULL ticket and a mini 3 pack! woooooooooo!
your being a bit dramatic OP, every mmo has a trading post of some kind and they all have flippers, when i got my party hat set in runescape i only logged in to lend and trade party hats for the final 6 months before i quit runescape….but that was also because i had DONE EVERYTHING, what im asking you is, r u sure the egg didnt come before the chicken? maybe u really just dont wana do anything else in this game right now and the TP is the ONLY thing keping u around
Can the instance owner of a dungeon or fractals do this? How about if there is a long queue time for WvW?
Have you ever done WvW or dungeons? Repair NPC is in all 4 borders, everyone in a dungeon/fractal can leave to repair.
What part of not stopping what you are doing to travel somewhere else to get repaired and returning you are not grasping? If I’m zerging in WvW from objective to objective, being rezzed in the field, I would want an item to repair my now damaged armor before it loses it’s effectiveness. Everytime you die in WvW doesn’t mean you will waypoint to rez or even waypoint to a local with a repair NPC.
That’s why they have purpose. It’s to save time, hence a convenience item, which is one of the stock and trade of the Gem Shop.
ok first off u only need to repair armor once it breaks, it loses no effectivness before it breaks, from your post its not obvious that u knew that
second: a mildly convenient item does not justify its continued existence its so niche and so useless to so many people that a few people who are too lazy to take 3 seconds and repair are not enough to offset the majority of people who now think “why does this thing still exist”
i admit its not as useless as the trait reset stones that now sit in my bank waiting to be refunded but its pretty close
every mmo ever made has trade flipping as the best way to make money, from runescape to wow and all the others in between playing the market is always the best because true wealth comes from people who dont need to be guided through things, richness belonges to innovaters and trend setters
it all depends on how many new players come into the game in the future, if they come in droves the prices will rise, but if it stays the way things are they will go down because everyone who existed before the update knew “ok time to get all my dyes”
sorry but it diminishes the value of of items (even untradable ones) to give them out to everybody, there will be other items you will want someday that u can get instead. its unfair to take that uniqueness away from players who did get them and cherish their rarity
While we are at it, why don’t we remove anything that isn’t a makeover kit, BLSK, tickets (remove the scraps please, too broken) or permanent contracts?
what you have done here is stretch my argument to cover topics it was not originally discussing and then critisizing the result. this is an illogical and unethical way of argueing a point. i like most of the items in the chest (including revive orbs) but repair canisters have almost no point to me or the majority of players anymore
Can the instance owner of a dungeon or fractals do this? How about if there is a long queue time for WvW?
ever seen all 4 wvw maps fill up? no never, and i am unsympathetic to keeping repair canisters in the game if the only ones who need them r the in 50,000 ppl who start a fractal AND fail miserably at it.
i got a lion key from map clearing today, always excites me. but one of my reward items was a repair canister (the other was a ticket scrap so im NOT complaining!) but it just seems to me that these are totally useless items now bcuz of the repair costs being gone so i feel they should be removed from lion chests
oh and btw….DO NOT say they arnt useless bcuz they let u repair ur armor from anywehere…..we already have that it is called *open wvw tab ->go to any map ->repair -> go back)
i stopped buying those things too, mostly cuz they re release them too often and it makes me mad. but if all you want is the color to use….why arnt u just buying it from the gem store?
Let them talk, this is what real life is. Everyone talks and make sounds. You don’t want to listen? Fine. Put on some headphones connected to your phone and play some music
ronah please dont pretend that a desire for “realism” is justifacation for your trolling
and no in real life people saying the same thing over and over and over gets them a quick knock to the nose if im around (and if i think nobody important is watching) but i digress….
Wait are you saying all the Police Officers in your Hometown don’t go around saying things Like.." PROTECTED AND SERVED!!!!" every 8 seconds???
hahahahahaah =)
i dont think it really did anything anyways did it?

thats bs when did u ever fight the fire ele with less than a crowded room of ppl
what server r u from kaeineng? lol
its not about u its about every1, most of us love this update, and they added a specific update for guilds like you, now u can spend ur guild points or w/e on starting an event ANY TIME YOU WANT so use that
so i love the megaserver, i hated the empty worlds and now i have a reason to go EVERYWEHRE, this was a fabulous update and i hope it gets spread everywhere, BUT….
its so annoying to listen to all the sound effects of other players, im sick of a mesmer with that boon giving signent saying something like PROTECTED every 8 seconds.
or to hear the grunts and groans of an asura dancing (why do we even make verbal noises when we dance its horrible)
but the absolute worst of all is sitting at a bank looking through my stuff and hearing the banker talk to kitten ear every new layer that walks up and talks to her
so my question is this, can we PLEASE remove some of the redundant sounds from the game
-i dont want to hear merchants and bankers verbally respond to me just bcuz i walked up to them and talked to them (this one is MOST important)
-i dont want to hear ppl dancing (why was this even added)
- i dont want to hear ppl get boons and stuff (atleast outside of combat)
please do this anet its a small fix to a really annoying enviornment
u can still get it just play guild wars 1 unlock some acheivments and link your accounts together
u say that fiction can be a reflection of the society we are in…..perhaps your overly sensative response is a reflectio of how weak and cowardly half of our society (who shall remain unnamed) has become.
grow thicker skin
how funny he didnt mention the unlimited stealth……although he did mention that they have the best damage in the game….so hes not completly off
but no overpowered death machine describes the theif pretty well….
is this a joke thread? theif is the single most op pvp / wvw class in game, even the mesmer has been knocked off their OP tower by theif
yea most of these comments just confirmed what i already knew. theifs are greedy power hungry players who wont take a proper nerf with any dignity. they need one, they still need one
even if these complaints of mine describe seperate things about a few theif builds they are still OP seperate and need attention
but im afraid thats not the case i see most of them all at once
i was hoping the patch would nerf all the things about the theif that were brokenly overpowered, sadly this was not the case.
they still can engage and escape without consequence with stealth while 3 to 6 people chase after them looking like fools because they can do nothing to stop them
they still do overwhelming damage to a single target thats broken by comparison to anyone else
they still chase down a target so easily with their constant dagger leaps and high no cooldowns
im aware that this is where theifs usually go to ask eachother how to be more OP so yea bring on the backlash…and dont say that ranger counters stealth…..it doesnt
Sorry OP but I think few are with you on this.
I certainly been wanting account dyes since… forever. And being able to use any armor and weapon skin I get anytime I want without losing another, thats just fantastic, I love collecting skins and have so many skins lying around unused and taking up space.
i too enjoy that i can swap skins more often now…instead of being stuck holding onto the rare ones i got from LS….i didnt complain about that
but cmon man just buy the dyes again or better yet wait till u get them as drops….getting a unid dye was exciting for me…..now thats going away
and account wide legendarys, i dont own (nor do i want to own) a legendary but i see this as a huge insult to them nonetheless, people worked hard for those and they arnt supposed to be some flighty thing.
you will all change your tune in a few months when dyes are a few copper each legendaries r common place and everyone has every skin you worked for…..all i hear from most of u is greed greed greed
nah just buy them again if u really want them its not that much money and its good for inflation
we dont want account wide dyes……not only do i not want dyes account wide because it ruins the price of dyes BUT i also dont want unidentified dyes to no longer be drops….this is a lose lose for most of us (i say this even tho i have 7 characters)
i LIKE unlocking dyes individually, i like seeing my options for style slowly open up…and i like selling dyes i dont want for MONEY
and account wide legendaries?…….oh god no……
i would deal with it by coming onto the forums and reminding every1 that the theif is OP for all pvp related things
ele is already so underpowered. u wana take more from them? no
the theif is all around broken in pvp and wvw the stealth is just OP
they just need to nerf stealth all around
im unhappy that they look different, some of them drastically and the hammer is UGLY
the frame of the sword is too thick the torm axe doesnt have the deep dark purple its suposed to
in general most of them are just….sloppy
i dont want a legendary, they are all ugly silly weapons, i like more serious stuff
What is a cancer to the game, or any game with an online economy, is discontinued, tradeable items. Not the other way round.
i see somebody is still soar that he never got a party hat in runescape…..
i think it usually helps keep the economy in check
buy skins that come from black lion ticket vendors when they first come out, sit on them, sell them in a year or 6 months, repeat
please u have no reason to complain about not getting the rewards you want , thats random, thats life, its not ur birth right to get a scrap after the magic number 12 chests
either give up or keep trying but please stop complaining….
why, are you afraid they’re gonna improve stuff so it doesn’t make you unique anymore?
no i just hate entitled kids who think good fortune is their birth right, good things are not worth having if you dont suffer and sacrifice for them
oh….and i buy my skins when they come out so this doesnt affect me, not sit around opening chests
buy skins the day they come out, sit on them, sell them, your welcome
please u have no reason to complain about not getting the rewards you want , thats random, thats life, its not ur birth right to get a scrap after the magic number 12 chests
either give up or keep trying but please stop complaining….
i dont think its unfair, if u really have THAT many u were never gana use them anyways
and besides maybe anet will let you sell them or something
i hope not the pvp sucks for any1 not in heavy armor
….y is this a thread? because “other ppl do something i dont approve of so they must be stopped” or because YOU are the bored one….
OMG please no. I played Runescape for 10 years, and the randoms drove me nuts. They didn’t even get rid of the bots properly as they should have done in the first place – in the end it was just a nuisance for all players :-/
What if they made the loot worth it like a huge load of the resources that you were trying to gather and special gathering tools that give bonuses to getting rare items?
For example if you are gathering from a ancient sapling an ancient treent (elite) spawned and tried to stop you (my experience is that elites are solaoble if you are careful). If you win you get like 50 ancient logs a few hidden treasures and an axe that has +25 to fining rare material. If you loose it protects the node it came from but creates an event so other people know its there.
this would help with loot and complainers but i still think all new content should expand the game not just keep it linear with new ways to do old things
the problem is we have too many servers, henge should just die and be merged into other servers, not everyone has a happy ending

gathering is pretty easy i think you can handle a little nuisance
… What are we gonna have a monster made out of string for tailors? How would it even spawn? What about for leatherworkers?…
I just want to add my support to string and leather monsters. Animated dolls perhaps?
oooooh thats a good idea! perhaps they could spawn while you were refining materials
I dont know if I was mining ori in orr and I got tin instead because of one of these random events, i’d be kinda mad.
Besides weaponsmithing and armorsmithing are the only professions that these would really apply to. Maybe Jeweler. What are we gonna have a monster made out of string for tailors? How would it even spawn? What about for leatherworkers?
Regardless of the idea, you’ve only thought about how it would benefit you and not the rest of players crafting different items. These events dropping the materials you can buy from merchants in town is kind of useless too. You’re paying like 5 silver at most, which isnt a lot at level 80. A few gold can be made quickly enough to cover the cost of this.
as for your first point i was expecting that (and i think i mentioned somewhere in there) that the rewards would scale based on what area you were in, but i am willing to say the current crafting system didnt leave me much room to make rewards so if you wana suggest some new ones im all ears
