    Should probably be careful to presume the "gold > cash shop currency" rate will remain reasonable as time progress. Right now, it probably seems good because crafters are minimal, not everyone is leveled, etc., but in time the demand for things will likely tank alongside gold fountains not really matching up while prices rise. Overall, I just get reminded of GW2 where if you're someone who didn't care to spam dungeons or get into organized WvWvW groups, you were never going to afford gems at a decent pace.

    You're forgetting that crafting in GW2 was essentially meaningless and there were only 2 gold fountains in GW2, running CoF over and over and running WvWvW with large zergs. That is not the case here.

    Also another factor: There was nothing to buy in the GW2 cash shop, like, ever. Aside from holiday events. Which meant throughout the entire game's life the gem economy was in perpetual mood swings and could never stabilize.

    Eh, I'd disagree with things like bag and storage space. Sure, potentially finite, but still a significant time investment if you don't want to lob the RL cash. Yeah, GW2's overall crafting scheme sucked, but I could also compare that to Rift's where you're probably not buying Rex there unless you're doing your best RMT impression farming mats or manipulating the AH. But even that is in limbo right now with their expansion looming.

    Remains cheap in all the other mmos with the gold/credit/sub system.

    This weekend was somewhat profitable.

    Managed to catch EPK backing their trade ship into Ynystere harbor. Jacked it and blew it up. The guy from their guild that was streaming cried that we were stream sniping, in front of the entire stream. Too bad we were there 15 minutes prior blowing up the auction house.
    Sighted a Gank Bus group jacking another trade ship. Our only person there initiated and died. While chasing it, we stumbled across a Catalyst group that jacked another trade ship from Infernal. We went and "liberated" it. Managed to make off with over half of the packs and a large quantity of mad from both parties.
    While trying to finish our trade ship's gilda acquisition, we had a night of fuckery involving people falling off clippers, laggy servers leading to disconnects, and Death's Law thinking they can take us on with double their size (note: they couldn't, even after bringing reinforcements).

    I'm going to have to start recording at this rate.

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    I'm in a small guild. GM calls for everyone online to meet in Austera for immediate port. Save the illegal farm harvest from some asshole guild way out in the boondocks. Get 2 Thunderstruck Trees from the harvest. Guild funded for DAYS.

    I miss PvP centric MMOs.

    We camped the Gweonid/White Arden hills for a week or so at launch, because we knew people were going to be stupid enough to put illegal farms up there. We actually struck gold on an extremely large patch of cotton that was fully grown. Also managed to snipe about half of a large yew farm too.

    The real fun was people doing it up in the hills between Karkasse and Gweonid, right along the border where it goes PvP in Karkasse. We've taken out two guilds doing this.

    Yes and no. It has the sandbox element of Silk Road, but there's some themepark elements in there too.

    But it's a metric fuckton of PvP.

    So like I'm gonna try this out soon. Where is the population of bg people at mainly?

    Well the furry faction is restricted on ollo so gues I'll Nui or w/e it up on there then.

    Does the game crash often? Doing the early stuff and it just straight up exploded on me.

    I haven't had the game crash except for the rush during headstart, and that was more an issue of crashing before getting in.

    Other than having to restart from time to time due to textures getting out of whack, its been very stable for me.

    Got server first kraken kill today, was so friggin awesome, 4 different guilds came together to help ours (synapse) out. Was such a giant fight, with tons of coordination on probably 100+ peoples parts. Having did dry runs on it as the support/healer roll, and not knowing what sort of situatuon was happening on the surface, i was a cannon gunner this time and it was crazy. Manning the guns to try and beat its insane DPS, the galleons getting charged and tossed about, having to man the riggings of the ship to help maneuver, casting shields around your crew at the appropriate time
    Dropped the shield and 70-80 tentacles. Tentacles can be turned in for 10-40 gold, or crafted into a housing item that displays the date it was killed and a short cut scene when ever you activate it. Pretty amazing battle, and definitely in my top 5 coolest mmo moments.

    Where the hell do you even get your info? I don't know a single person who uses that add on, and I personally don't use it. So to say all of us use it is comical.

    And you might want to go research the fact Fickle Vyrava, Fierce Vyraya, and Giant Vyraya spawn in Hasla and have a chance of dropping Aurorian Garden Gear. There aren't even any mobs spawned in the north to kill, the retard who posted this thread is also using the AH Mod and the moron claiming we have hacks posted on our website is completely wrong. We don't. Notice how you have no screen shots or any evidence of that?

    Enjoy false reporting. Kraken was fun last night. Stay salty.
