Bad Economy

Essence Snow.3194

I’ll reiterate again:

If you or anyone else believes that the economy of the game is causing things to be “unfun” feel free to make that argument. However, you must be prepared to present evidence or logic to support that claim. The burden of proof is upon you.

That’s a baited question though, as “fun or unfun” are subjective and can be dismissed on that basis alone.

of course they screwed that when they made them sellable

Getting the ~2000 gold is still a major achievement, in one way or another.

Which is no where remotely close to gaining everything via play. It’s completely out of kilter.

In the past month, I’ve looted 820g from the TP with constant sales of 2 items (no flipping, simply a twist on core conversion).

2000 gold is not a likely amount that you’re going to see at once, but you’ll get there.

Precisely my point…gaining gold via the tp vs gaining gold/items via gameplay

It’s worth pointing out right here that there is not a single item in this game that cannot be attained simply by playing the game. .

I call and raise you a Final Rest!

I call your bluff by demanding you prove Final Rest actually exists! I will accept you showing me how it’s acquired as proof.

This is the point at which I knew how to link things……but, all the info you seek can be found in 2 threads….1 in the crafting section and one in general chat. There is ofc the data mined code for it, which allows it to be on databases, not to mention the 2 dev comments confirming it’s existence.

Nerf Legendary Grawl Shaman?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

Shaman is only an issue at higher levels where it becomes challenging, which is what it’s supposed to be. If you want it easier go to a lower level.

Unless you actually don’t want added challenge and just want the loot? Then that’s a whole other matter.

Logical Shmogical

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

Logical fallacies are bad, because you’re building your case on a faulty foundation.

Posts that only comment about logical fallacies are bad, because they’re not building a case at all, just taking a poke at someone.

But in the end, if we’ve had ~30 years and can’t get rid of troll/net-cop behavior, I’m pretty sure we’ll never correct the logical fallacy related behavior either. This is particular true in a medium (such as this one) where the actual intent is usually complaint and venting and not debate and growth.

I agree. I hope normal communication never falls into such a state.

Maybe it’s just me, but when ever I see debates take a turn towards calling out logical fallacies, I just sigh. There are many forum posters that seem to use this as their “go to” for every topic. While the logic of it is fine, the over use of it/misuse of it really bothers me.

I guess the vast ammount of people and number of threads popping up complaining about the economy in this game doesnt mean a thing.

This is known as argumentum ad populum. You are correct when you state that it doesn’t mean a thing.

Just pointing out that’s what laws are based on. Kinda funny that logical fallacies are used to argue laws which are logical fallacies in of themselves.

Silence regarding feedback?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

Actually Colin posted in that thread with an update. It’s not Arenanet’s fault that you fail to do your due diligence and read his response.

You’re right, there was one response, 10 days ago. I started only periodically checking that thread because it went ignored for so long. Nevertheless, the point is, it took 2 months to get that ‘one’ response, and all the response says is “we’ve found nothing wrong. It’s in your heads, x-files level of conspiracy. We’ll look into it…” They flat out said in patch notes that vets and champs will be guaranteed to drop loot, and they clearly don’t. Is that x-files conspiracy too?

I’m glad I waited 2 months for that, I feel so informed and relieved. All the frustrated players still making new threads on loot and DR and rewards can now be ignored. It’s obviously not an ongoing problem or anything.

Maybe you need to adjust your expectations? It takes time to collect the data, and you need large amounts of it. Ever heard of small sample size? Terrible to make conclusions on it.

I disagree…nothing terrible bout the obvious. Even though I doubt the “small sample size”, it doesn’t matter when notes said “guaranteed” and even one occurrence happens. If it happened and nothing is done to correct it the the guarantee means bupkis.

Does the economy need more gold sinks?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

I would like to see more of a progressive gold sink. ie…the more you make , the more you pay/get taxed. So instead of a 15% flat tax for listing have a tax on the gold exiting the tp.

For example: Over the course of a week you collect 1g from the tp, then you would pay a 5% tax on that. If you collected 100g in that week you’d pay a 20% tax…so on so forth

I’m not exactly sure how it would work out but imo it would be better than the regressive system we have now.

DR? (Diminished Returns)

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

For now DR is hitting parked characters who you don’t do anything else with but that specific thing. To avoid being hit by this, whether it is intentional functionality or a bug, do some other stuff on that character.
I wish we didn’t have to have the system, but when exploits arise players abuse them, so we have to have something. We’ll continue to evaluate its functionality and fine tune it.

Would it be at all possible to have some sort of visual “DR indicator” in play? It’d be nice to know if DR was in effect, as opposed to just getting randomly bad RNG pulls.

^This…..Having to guess/speculate whether or not one/all of my characters have DR is….well infuriating. It’s basically gambling…if I do this event will I get full reward or DR reward.

By the nature of having multiple alts, it’s basically unavoidable to not park characters. By the time I “clear” the DR from several toons due to “parking” my other toons enter DR from “parking”? Am I to understand that I need to rotate my character play evenly?

I personally feel that there is a lack of competition

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

Didn’t read all the replies and I’m not sure what is classified as “hard core gamer”. I had 16k+ hours in gw1 and 1900ish hours, 5k+points(w/o agent), and 9 80s now in gw2 (purely referenced to show that I don’t consider myself casual). I mainly stay in PvE and have zero desire to have added competitive rankings etc here. I am perfectly contempt refining all professions…ie) being able to do anything, anywhere, with any character, at anytime that is available in the game. That takes an exceedingly large amount of time.

Point being if I am classified as “hardcore,” I am sure there are many many others like me that have no desire for this added competition and thus will not “abandon ship” due to lack thereof. There are lots of us that avoid games that have such things, specially in excess. Truth be told, I’d be more like to jump ship if they added said things.

FotM high level loot - How much better is it?

fractal loot is better then everywhere else? where do you get that info from? you can run cof p1 6-18 times in the time it takes to finish a fractal, I don’t know what kinda loot what you are getting from fractal but im at 30 and my last run i did the most valueable item i found was a armored scale (28) earned a total of 40s in 90 mins.

loflux, I dunno what patch notes said 2 months ago, I do however know that I’ve seen both globs and vial drop during my 30 daily, especially at jade maw it happens alot.

So out of the entire game the you compare one bad fotm run to the most abused farm? What about the rest of the game?

Im at 31, and the diffrence seem so small that it can’t really be measured.. when I was running 1-10 I was averaging 1-2g a run, now I average 1-2g a run.. fractal skins is the only reason i bother with fractals anymore.. if you want loot fractals is not the place to be.

Issue with the bolded part as it is better than everywhere else.

[DPR] 6yr old casual PvE guild lfm-FA

in Guilds

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

Hi,

We are Dark Phoenix Risin, a very casual PvE oriented guild from GW1. We are mostly US and Euro, but have a few Assuies and ex-patriots as well.

Over the past 6 years we have built a strong core of very nice (let’s face it addicted) players. Currently we have around 180 members with very low turnover as we don’t actively recruit. Most of our members have been with us since launch and thus are able to do everything. We have a few players that love PvP as well, but like noted we mainly focus on PvE.

We are always open to add new like minded players even though we don’t actively recruit. We do not require representing or being on Fort Aspenwood server. However we do require being nice. That’s our biggy! We don’t care too much about anything except being nice and we have spent 6 years amassing lots of nice people.

We are mostly “older” (20-50) gamers, but have no age minimum. A bit of maturity goes a long ways, which shows in several of our younger members.

If this sounds like your cup of tea feel free to shoot me a whisper here or in game (Essence Snow.3194)

Thanks!~Take care and have fun~

DR? (Diminished Returns)

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Essence Snow.3194

Essence Snow.3194

DR is still in place, just better now. In this last patch we adjusted DR, but how it works shouldn’t punish efficient/speed running players anymore. If you run the same path continually you will still be hit by it, but we’ve looked at the data and made tweaks in hopes it won’t be punishing players who are legitimately completing things very quickly.
We’re watching it though to make sure nothing weird happens because of it. Please do report your findings if you feel you are hit by it unfairly so we can look into it.

Since DR is a safety net system for exploits, we’re likely not going to announce when and how we made changes to it.

Profanity thoughts

I have just started using “kitten” as a substitute in game for when things aren’t going well. I get more than a few “what was that about” statements, but those who have been on these forums always give me a ROFL back.

I unfortunately find myself using kitten in rl…..guess I spend too much time on here.

OT…In guild chat per guild rules…sure whatever or with friends, but in open world chat or playing with randoms, I do not find profanity acceptable. Ofc there is a difference between a slip and full out not needed. I’m sure those are reviewed when considering banning. I feel pretty good about bans handed out for such occurences being justified.

I would contend that the journey of creating a legendary weapon is a key aspect of the game, much like playing through and completing the story is a journey. Thus by not making said weapons, players will be effectively “missing out” on a major aspect of the game.

Lets ignore the fact that I highly doubt Anet meant Legendary weapons to be a “key aspect” of the game (simply due to the incredibly difficult acquirement requirements).

By definition, you are going on that “journey” without a Legendary. Hence not possessing a Legendary is not stopping you from going through that “journey.” Players aren’t “missing out” on this “journey” because they don’t have a Legendary, but it’s because they choose not to do it. (And lets face it, the things you need for a legendary like gaining karma, Badges of Honor, Skill points, etc. all can be done through normal gameplay)

So tell me again, what does not having a Legendary prevent you from doing, again?

Why would they place the medal on the main log screen? One of seven “key aspects” of the game.
I was in no way inferring that the journey of the story and the journey of obtaining a legendary were dependent. I was noting that they are separate, yet similar in nature.

It does this in the same manner that not participating in the story does not prevent one from any other aspect of the game. It is of it’s own.

Not obtaining one would be like not completing the story. It would be like not finishing arah sm and thus the story. Does being stuck there prevent one from doing anything else, besides starting exp arah instances? I fail to see the mandate that something needs to have that intertwined dependency.

The journey of obtaining a legendary is a journey upon itself.

No more than the “OCD” need people have for Best in Slot gear in a game that you can generally waltz through in greens once you know the fights.

Its not a goal people made up, its a goal the Devs enshrined. Honestly, without that goal, I suspect most people are largely done with what this game has to offer after a few months. The huge gap in goals between BIS-every-slot and Legendaries is one of the things the Devs have specifically highlighted as an issue they need to address.

At this point, I’m guessing you are purposefully ignoring portions of my posts.

BiS gear (Exotics) actually offer an improvement in gameplay over greens. Legendaries don’t offer any improvement in gameplay over exotics (Ascended in the future). This is why Legendaries are considered “luxury items.” Though I feel like I’ve hammer this point repeatedly, it feels to me you’re still not comprehending it properly?

Also again, please stop with the “Devs are forcing us to get Legendaries.” If you feel forced to do so because because of that log-in seal, that’s good for you. Heck if you really just want that seal, go ahead and craft an underwater Legendary. But not getting a Legendary does not impair your playing of this game in any way.

And lastly, please don’t act like those fancy skin 300-500G exotic weapons (Volcanus, Foefire, Aether, etc. etc…) don’t exist. There are many cosmetic skins to grind for that is not a Legendary.

Legendaries do have the distinction of being BiS now and forever. While that exotic will be second rate at some point, the legendary will not. This means effectively never having to need another weapon, thus bypassing tier progression as it unviels over the life of the game. This bit is reaching some, but for the time it takes for player to gain the new tier once released….(ie…..it takes us minimum 20-25 days for ascended amulets except the triforge)… the legendary will offer a stat advantage.

Anywho, there is nothing in the game that forces you to be good at the game. After all it’s just a game that gives players the option to partake in whatever they please. By the same pretense that no one is forced to obtain a legendary…..no one is forced to progress past the initial instances or character creation for that matter.

Precursors, like all other luxury goods, are the worst example to begin with. Nobody really needs them.

I see this a lot, and I have to wonder…

What in this game do you NEED?

Its a meaningless distinction.

Every single player has a hollow seal on the character select page tapping them on the shoulder saying “hey, you haven’t done this yet…” Not 1%. Not 5%. All of us. Its on everyone’s to-do list.

Imo no, they are not. They would be, but there are simply too many varying methods to obtain them that do not balance in terms of time or effort.

Stop Precursor Elitism

Acquiring a precursor through the MF is already insane grinding unless you are very lucky. I mean where do you get all those rares to throw in? Either from running dungeons for exotics(which are anywhere from 200-390 tokens) or farming mats to make rares or farm gold to buy rares off the TP. Regardless, unless you are just doing 1 try a day, it will require you grind. And how the hell can legendaries become more devalued than they already are? I mean for christ’s sake gold sellers sell em as well as being able to buy em off the TP.

Believe me, they can. As you said, the only thing preventing further devaluation is the precursors not being readily available after only a few months of grinding. But guess what – right now they totally are. Grind gold and get one… easy.

My personal opinion is that the precursors should be:

1. Account bound on acquire (no TP listing possible)
2. Awarded for completing an extremely difficult, multi-tiered, multi-skillset challenge. Something only a select few can accomplish via gaming skill. And I mean only a few. Like 1 in 300 people or something like that
3. Available via really, really low RNG as an alternative, because having luck in the world just makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I can guarantee you people would be complaining ten times as much as they do now though.

My question is why make legendaries so rare that only 1 in 300 people get em? I mean all they are is a skin. Who cares if someone else has one. I mean look at everything else in the game, everyone can get it and it’s an MMO where no one is actually a unique snowflake. I mean if you want to be semi unique, play an MMO that has hardcore raiding and join the top raiding guild and devote 8 hours a night to raiding. This game doesn’t have raiding vs casual so i’m guessing you want the legnedary to be the status symbol that differentiate the casual from the hardcore?

The very reason people want them is because they are not everywhere. You have many cool skins in the game, some arguably way more cool than legendaries, and yet you don’t see people clamoring about those. Why? Because anyone can get them with relative ease and there isn’t much of a prestige factor tied to them.

Make legendaries common and nobody will care. Make them common and actually wearing one will become cheesy and unwanted even. It’s like a Super syndrome… everyone wants to be Super – but when everyone’s Super, no one is.

People want legendaries because they have shiny pixels, footsteps, and swirly twirlies. They look different than other skins. Not just because they are rare. Oh, and the fact there is an achievement for it and an icon on the character select screen staring at you every time you log in.

And if everyone has Twillight, how different from other Twillights is it? It becomes a very shiny, very boring item nobody cares about. Rarity translates directly to value. Humans are like that. Prestige means exclusivity, the particle effects are there just to make it more obvious who has it and who doesn’t.

I was unaware the “prestige” meant exclusivity. I was more under the impression that is was admiration or respect for achievement or quality.
