Lets late a global look on the market with materials in GW2
The market with mats will ultimately fail at some point because of this:
1. Who ads the value to mats ? Crafters
2. So who is the target group for purchasing materials ? Crafters
3. Is crafting viable ? In global point of view NO. 90% crafted items are not profitable
4. people will soon realise that the crafting is not profitable
5. The target group for purchasing mats will dissapear
6. The market with mats will collapse
or maybe not because max crafting is also achievment so people will level crafting only because of that and its a pain to collect all mats so they will buy them from TP
I agree that there is no sense of oportunity in GW2 economy (TP). But its not problem of the game design. The GW2 economy and TP is the best I’ve seen in any mmorpg
The problem is external. Its those sites like guildwarstrade.com, gw2spidy.com
I admire the people who did that but it kinda destroys the oportunity to make some money for me on TP
Like crafting… 90% of all goods all proffesions can craft are unprofitable to sell on TP because the mats are more expensive
I other games I always found a decent way to make money on TP
In GW2 its very hard because thanks to those sites I’ve mentioned everyone knows everything about the market so yes there is no oportunity or very little oportunity.
Got couple of questions about ascended gear regarding infusions and agony resistance (AR)
1. AR is only obtainable via ascended gear ?
2. AR is basicly needed for >=10lvl fractals. AR is needed only for fractals ?
3. To get some AR I have to run fractal lvl 10 or higher numerous times without AR because its the only way to get AR ?
4. So when joining group for fract lvl >=10 is it legitimate demand by players to have AR gear ?
When does the daily’s reset in EU servers (CET)
yesterday i got really kitten off because I was just about craft some 10 ignots to finish my daily when the electricity went off (it was 23:40) so I logged in today morning to find out that the stupid daily allready reseted
I usually just hit Orr and get the T5 dust and convert it when I get 250. The drop rate is fine where it’s at. Not everything in the game has to drop all the time. There are numerous ways of getting what you need. Right now, this is a great option.
Converting T5 dust into T6 dust via mystic forge isnt viable now because the price of T5 dust also skyrocketed in price. So you can just sell T5dust and buy T6 dust. Otherwise its only loss of skillpoints
So after collecting information from many sources I’ve had come to a conclusion that t6 fine crafting materials are not “fine” (by rarity)
The fact is that there is no source in the entire game that would have the drop rate of t6 craft. materials high enough to be considered as “fine” by rarity
By marking the t6 crafting materials as “fine” is actually deceiving (in current state of game) and creates lots of missunderstanding and confussion in the players community (ranting about prices at TP, low droprates, bugged droprates…)
First solution
Change the rarity from fine to masterwork (currently doesnt exist in crafting materials) or rare
or
Second solution Add sources to the game (like 81+ level mobs) whose droprate of t6 craft. materials would be high enough to be considered as “fine” by rarity
or
Third solution Increase the drop rate of t6 craft. materials high enough to be considered as “fine” by rarity from the current sources in game
just checked the gw2wiki
You have 1% chance of getting crystalline dust from opening heavy moldy bag
so there goes the idea of farming heavy moldy bags for getting crystalline dust. Only recomended for people with masochist tendencies
I am talking about crystalline dust not all t6 mats. Take a look on guildwarstrade.com and you will see that the supply is around 2K so yes its easy to buy all stock for some “cartel” ofcourse not individual
The reason for low drop rate is the increased mob rate. I’m sure you all seen the amount of mobs that spawns during an event. IF 50% of them were to drop the dust, the market will be flooded the way Bones were. Now that the risens drop more variety of T5/6 mats, the price of bones went up to match. Also, farm the Heavy moldy bags. The drop rate on these are insane, you can get a full stack of them in a few hours. Get your t5/t6 mats and dust from them.
I dont see the problem that market would be flooded by crystalline dust. Look at armored scale market is flooded with them and yet it sels for 9.5s
The problem is this
When I need crystalline dust for crafting some consumables I have to buy it from TP because the drop chance while farming will get me insane (DR kicks in ?)
So I have no other option then to buy it
So the game itself forces the idea of market manipulation with the ultra low drop rates and of course the abnormal stupid idea of diminishing returns on loot and the most important thing is that crystallyne dust is not exclusive (rare,exotic) item but there is scarcity of it. WHY ? So the low amount on TP are easily bought by investors and resold for higher prices
It would be very appropriate to know when such a significant mechanics as diminishing returns are kick’s in and when it ends (by some kind of very clear vissible message). So please Anet take in serious consideration this suggestion

quote from gw2 wiki
“Diminishing returns, abbreviated DR, is anti-farm code implemented to prevent bots and exploits from disrupting the economy and gaining an unfair advantage over legitimate players”
“Dungeons use a more aggressive DR system, due to their large rewards and ability to be repeated quickly. DR triggers if the dungeon is completed consecutively and/or in under 30 minutes, which primarily affects speed-clearing teams”
So when skilled group complete dungeon within 30mins numerous times (by skipping some trash mobs) does this quialify the players in group to be:
EXPLOITERS ?
BOTS?
NON LEGITIMATE PLAYERS ?
I want kittening answer to this by Anet
When I roam trough the world of tyria doing events farming mob I WANT to kittening know that I’ve been hit with kittening diminishing kittenturns. I want a kittening message all over my kittening screen that:
YOU HAVE BEEN HIT WITH DIMINISHING kittenTURNS ON LOOT GO kitten UNTIL “TIME”
and/or
YOU HAVE BEEN HIT WITH DIMINISHING kittenTURNS ON DYNAMIC EVENTS GO kitten UNTIL “TIME”
and/or
YOU HAVE BEEN HIT WITH DIMINISHING kittenTURNS ON DUNGEON GO kitten UNTIL “TIME”
The “TIME” means the actual time when those DR dissapear
Yesterday I’ve been farming orr maps for about two hours killing hundreds of mobs and I got one crystalline dust as a direct drop from mob. Then I got around 20 heavy moldy bags and after opening all I got one crystalline dust.
So the drop rate is like 1 crystalline dust for one hour of intensive farming mobs ?
THIS is the reason of this crystalline dust nonsense which is currently happening
I can go farm mobs to iron marches and easily get 100 luminous dust’s in one hour (direct drop from mobs)
Now the thing is that luminous dust is two tiers lower but the same rarity (fine) as crystalline dust. So the logic tells me if I go farm highest lvl creatures I should be able to farm crystalline dust effectively but I cant.
It seem to me that crystalline dust is not actually rarity wise fine but RARE
Please increase drops on Pile of Crystalline Dust and other t6 materials.
You can efficiently farm all tiers of dust but not Pile of Crystalline Dust .Its just like rare drop
Pile of Crystalline Dust is mandatory material for lots of reciepes and the price is skyrocketing nonstop. On 15.1.2013 the price was 5.5s now its 13s and rising
This is just unacceptable. There is a clear market manipulation with Pile of Incandescent Dust and Pile of Crystalline Dust. Beacuse you can make Pile of Crystalline Dust from Pile of Incandescent Dust via mystic forge this is why Pile of Incandescent Dust is skyrocketing in price also
I strongly disagree that the only viable builds for guardian have to include full valor trait its bullcrap
Currently I play 10/30/0/25/5 build with tons of damage, great survivability and support
base health pool 17K
Armor 2600
Attack 2800
Crit chance 60%
Crit Damage 45%
With sword/focus, scepter/torch and lifestealing pie (even blackberry pie) is enough to facetank most bosses in dungeons
Support:
Might stacking (empowering might), clearing tons of conditions with purging flames, cleansing flame, superrior rune of knight (with shouts), healing with dodge
Indeed Norn chicks are the hotest chicks in game
I’ve just created two new characters because of this an elementalist and mesmer (not quite typical proffesions for norn)
I dont know yet how many infusion slots will two handed weapon have but lets say one
So lets say 50% of the playerbase is using two handed weapon the other half dual wield
When only 1000 players would get offensive infusions, 375K passion fuits will be needed
So there is lot’s of potential for investing into it
GW2 TP is the best among any other TP (AH) of MMORPG’s I’ve played
the main reason is that it is global so when you have one dead server the economy isnt dead on that server
[/quote]
No, its not. Lets explain this: Movement speed is a default value. Saying giving 100% movement increase is saying double the speed. Another 50%… [/quote]
What are you smoking ? Give me some…
When you deal default critical damage you deal 150% of your default damage but maybe when you crit you are doing 3*default damage
do you guys even read posts ? I’ve said the mounts will be UNUSABLE IN PVP
and DONT ANSWER IF YOU DIDNT READ THE ENTIRE POST or learn to read
That isn’t the issue, its about you not using the search bar, and asking for 150% movement speed. Seriously gana cry because the ppl here think you’re insane?
100% is movement speed of unbuffed character so 150% will be increase of 50% do you get the math now ?
I think there should be mount reward for doing world map completition. The mount will have 150% run speed and will be unusable in PVP
I think it will be logical and deserved reward for that achievement
I dont have problems usually with game stability (maybe one black screen/crash in 10hours playing)
But during the Claw of Jormag event in frostgorge sound the game crashed/freezed like crazy. First the audio crashed (game was still playable). Then whole game freezed (hard restet needed). After restart and 2min of play the game crashed to desktop. Total 5 freezes/crashes then event ended
The event was totally unplayable for me.
When the event ended all those problems dissapeared
Does this happens during Claw of Jormag event also to other players ?
This PC you have is good. How can you say its laggy and slow ?
I have
I5 2500K @4.6GHz
8GB RAM
Radeon 7850 (overclocked)
I Play on maxed settings and using tridef 3D soft to play in 3D which cuts the FPS by 50% and I get around 25-35FPS (in LA it gets down to 18-25)
When tridef 3D is turned off i get like 60fps (in LA 30-50)
Guys forget about sigils I am talking about weapon stat +5% to crit damage
To elaborate:
I am wearing berserker exotic sword MH
and berserker focus OH
Both without sigils have in stats +5%crit damage
Now how does it work ?
Why should one craft/buy Corrupted Blade over Valkyrie Pearl Sabre ? Where’s the catch ?
Why some exotic crafted weapons require ridiculous amounts of extra expensive lodestones and others (with same stats) dont ?
Am I missing something ?
So I went by foot from south of cursed shore trough malchors leap to stairs of devastation, doing all kinds of events, killing hundreds of creatures and I coudnt make the daily ach.
When I looked on the stats. of daily ach. I’ve had everything except types of creatures (I think I need 15) and by the time I arrived in stairs of devastation I had TWO types of creatures now this is RIDICULOUS
Everything in orr is rissen from stupid birds to dinosaurs
I didnt had this problem in other nor orr zones
So my suggestion, make many more types of creatures in orr because level 80 characters spend there most of the time and in orr alone the daily ach. cannot be completed due this problem
My character has fallen inside texture not able to move nor after PC restart
I wont use teleportal waypoint its too costy
PLease fix this issue, I cant play
