*Make it so*
Who else thinks the sudden influx of Legendary's on the AH is solely due to RMT characters?
I think it's due to people who hoarded precursors and gold from pre-godskull nerf tbh. They're making their fortunes bigger by overpricing legendaries.
But really, who has that sort of money in this game? I mean I have had 300+g at one time, but I have been running ori on 2+ characters since October. Even then that gold is all gone because of legendary mat purchases. I just dont understand how people can have 1k+g.
Godskull Weapons used to turn into precursors 15%+ of the time, and they're cheap as dirt to make. People who knew that spammed the tits off of them and made bank.
Even if they were making precursors that easily, selling the precursor now is a crap ton of money. Farming the karma and doing clovers for a legendary is the most time consuming part (along w/the 200+ skill points). So i find it hard to believe all of those ppl who took advantage of that method are selling legendary's
The influx of legendary weapons certainly isn't because of RMT, the fact that the game requires 100% map 500 wvw badges etc to make the legendary just puts them out of reach of your standard botting practices that RMT use to generate gold.
You'll also notice that the legendary's listed don't always have items for sale and are infact just buy orders for them.
Yeah i didn't think about that. Good point
I bought 1,000 ancient bones when they were 22c each, and held them. Resold at like 2s 75c, probably my biggest "score".
Rich people are rich because they do that on a much bigger scale. Look at the price history of T6 mats, Giant Eyes, etc. Anything that was useless and gained a recipe. I mean shit, Chili Peppers are like 5s+ now and used to be purchaseable in bulk for what.. 21 karma? It's all about hitting that jackpot in a global market.
Didn't Kripparrian get his GW2 account banned over the karma cooking mats?
Seems like the people that were able to exploit things like the 66% precursor recipe, Steel Tide, cookings mats, and general TP sheenanigans were able to develop the huge bankrolls to fund for future potential money makers. I saw pics of some group that built guilds purely for bank space so they could warehouse literally tens of thousands of mats for future recipes. Never know when those 5k Large Skulls go from 2.5s to 25s and you make 1k+ gold profit.
saw that coming a mile away.
"you mean i can make salvage drops, i mean ectoplasm appear out of thin air and profit immensely? what could possibly go wrong?"
LATER ON...
"omfg this is bullshit if i knew i would be caught and have to actually take responsibility for my actions i wouldn't have cheated to begin with, also this is everyone's fault but mine."
this is why smart people have a second account to cheat on, get on my level.
Still bullshit to mass ban people for something like that. The dev who made something require 1 ecto (that can be salvaged) should be the one in the hot seat. They keep releasing Stupid crap like that then ban ppl for making money off of it.
Oh, I guess they only banned ppl who took serious advantage of it. Like 200-300+ salvages lol. Well they should of known they were gonna get fucksd
I agree that perma-bans are way, way overboard, but people would still be complaining and victimizing themselves whatever the punishment is.
There's a precedent for a.net overreacting in situations like this, so why risk anything?
I don't agree about the permaban, i think people should be banned permanently if they are going to fuck over the economy of the game in such a way. They permaban bots for exploiting why not the same for regular players? it's exploiting all the same. And i whole heatedly agree about the precedent, it's not like you didn't know you get banned for shit like that so why bother doing it?
