Up with new shield

Awesome drop Slave! Such an amazing achievement.

I'm still staring at my screen in disbelief looking at what just happened. Got my first ever perfect r9 creature shield today - and what a skin!

My 2 cents, been around off and on since ‘07. Since pcons were released, they have been readily and easily available. In Kama in 2011, you wouldn’t need to spend more than about 2 minutes just watching trade chat to buy as many pcons as you wanted. Maybe ANET did not intend for pcons to be accessible anywhere anytime, but that has been the reality for pretty much the entirety of their existence. If they wanted to change that because they were intended to be “special” as someone said, they would have done that a long time ago. It makes no sense for them to make that stand now.

Everyone plays this game differently, I have one char where I intentionally only buy things with money that I get from drops to try and simulate an OS experience without the benefit of money I’ve made over like 12 years. On my main char with my most max titles, yeah I used cons on HM missions and vanquishes. On the other character I mentioned, when I start doing vanquishes again I honestly might use pcons again. Someone made a really good point that a lot of us just don’t have the time that we once did, and pcons can help with that. Pcons are not solely a SC item.

I guess the main things I want to emphasize:

There is no right or wrong way to play, SC or regular, pcon or no pcon. These are all elements in the game.

If ANET did not want pcons to be used year round, they would have done something when the game was popular and they were actively managing it.

I understand the banning of bots, gold sellers have no place here and I am glad ANET did this. At the same time, we are not being honest with ourselves if we cannot acknowledge that bots filled a void once filled with thousands of real people in Kamadan.

I think the best solution is a merchant/trader/collector. I am not active enough to speak to pricing, but I think slightly above current market rates would make sense as they will be much more easily accessible.

This is a small community, at the end of the day we all just want to play and enjoy the game, let’s not forget that.

Bump, please see top of post

I started playing GW in 2008 and played consistently for 5+ years, since then I have been on and off, with the last few months probably being my most consistently active in a long time. The market right now is ridiculous and all over the place, I think everyone can agree on that. The most outrageous thing to me though are bds and e-blade prices. I understand supply and demand, but is there really a market for q9-eblades at 60-75a? I mean that is nearly 5ke, q13 and q12 are being advertised at 20-30a- again, really? 2,000 ecto for a q12 eternal blade, an item that people are getting as drops literally every day.

The same is true for bds, the cheapest bds I have seen advertised at 13 was still asking something like 350e, and q9s are advertised at 40-70a. This is just insane. As far as I can tell, UWSC and SOOSC are still run very often by SC guilds, so it's not like these got any harder. I hadn't run SOOSC in years, and the other day I hopped in a run where I basically had no idea what I was doing and it still only took like 9 minutes - these prices just do not add up.

I guess I just wanted to open up the discussion to see what people think about this. I know you can't really compare the market now to what it used to be, but in the not too crazy distant past you could get bds in the 50-150e range for attributes people didn't care too much about. You used to see high req e-blades in the 1xxe realm, and now you are seeing them advertised at more than 10 times that. If it is based on drop rates, are we really saying a Mini GH drops at the same rate as a q9 e-blade? The prices really are not insanely far apart. I mean maybe it does now (really not trying to start a discussion on botting because that is a significant separate issue).

I have a few things I have been thinking. Again, simple supply and demand could be the answer- nowadays if you want something, in some ways you just have to pay what someone is asking because you may not find someone else selling. (Like paying 5e for a +30 shield mod, a few years ago that would be like 3k, but now you're lucky if you find someone in kama that happens to have one sitting in xunlai).

Another theory I have, a little conspiratorial but let's have some fun - could the major SC guilds have gotten together and agreed on these prices to keep their runs profitable? To me this really is not that far-fetched of an idea. Again, if the people who are getting these drops decide among themselves that this is what the items are worth now, the rest of the community does not have too much of a choice. The other thing that makes me think this, are the prices of other end chest drops. Things like VS, obby edge, emerald blade, honestly even frog scepter, have increased of course, but nowhere NEAR e-blades and bds. Why is that the case? If we follow the same logic of supply and demand, q13 obby edges should be like 600-700e MINIMUM right now.

Either way, it just seems crazy to me and would love to hear what other people think.
