Guild Wars 2

Why would Anet need to implement a feature to stop player from listing what would net them a loss? If those players are willing to take a loss my posting on the TP instead of going to a vendor then that is on them.

Meh, could go either way, and it would depend on if the skins are soulbound or not..

Yes that is correct, now I’m sure there will be a cap eventually on the Gold → Gem conversion. Right now with the huge spike in prices has a few factors, being that more people are have extra gold on hand to spend on items, being lvl 80 and able to produce gold faster and all of the people buying to invest which is spiking gems faster then normal.

I wouldn’t invest in gems at all unless you want a 100% success rate. The problem with that is you would be waiting awhile to get any sizeable ROI on it and it’ll be tied up for some time. Profit margins still exist on the TP you just have to look for them. In the time you would break even with the gem investment I could easily double that 50g into 100g. I know this from experience. Full T3 armor, Dusk and 100g in bank and almost another 75g in investments.

If more people are buying gold with gems then real money the price will go up because the demand is higher. If more people are buying gems with real money then gold then the price will go down.
