Economy can be changed easily if the developer wants, they can effectively make armbraces worthless.
A vendor isn't hard to code, it's literally copy pasting any vendor in the game.
You are disagreeing based on technical issues which aren't even present.
The point is that the changes is to make botting more meaningless.
Rather than new currency they can have npc vendors that sell mods/cons in exchange for armbraces, this could quickly curb armbrace inflation.
Mods such as 20% hsr inscriptions on offhands, 15^50, +x elements/phys and cons can be anything from red candies to summoning stones.
Basically anything that can let you exchange armbraces for perishables would quickly deflate ambraces and technically increase its value in smaller quantities.
For example, like 1 armbrace could be exchanged for 10 red rock candies as a base, but the vendor exchange amount works like any other vendor npc based on demand and supply.
Basically anything that lets you delete armbraces in the game in exchange for useable cons/items would be beneficial.
Zaishen Keys is good example of a currency that regulates itself due to its intended use, armbraces on the other hand has a very limited use before it becomes useless, never got why this currency go so inflated in the first place.
Display MoreDisplay MoreHeya ladies and gentlemen of Guild Wars 1,
some collections are simply breathtakingly beautiful.
Please, allow me to show you something, dear beloved GWL community: my very own personal and humble collection of historic guilds!
Never heard of any of them. One thing is for sure, you need to get working on their faction counts.
If you didn't play between 2006-2011 u probably wouldn't have.
Display Morei'm sure you are speaking out of your ass at this point, req8 colossal scimmys popped up on the regular pre 2008-9, req8 dead swords were also one of the very common req8s that dropped from that era.
I'm not sure if you even played during that time.
this q8 colossal scimitar was called 1 of a kind passed through several high end collectors and approved by the communtiy aswell, idk what you are on about. you got any facts about your "q8 colossals popped in a regular basis" or are you just caping?
and san i clearly said
"q8 colossal scimitars and q8 diamond aegises werent present pre 2016 i think, where the first cs got thrown up .
even if they arent unique, looking at the possible drop chance over 16 years or smth, the drop rate has to be somewhat small - even with the possibility to bot them."
so yes i said they arent unique or anything, but shall show that there are still items that are quite rare eventhough still dropping. And i am pretty certain, that in a discussion with a few of our high end farmers and collectors, we could figure out a few items that are theoretically possibly to drop and still didnt do that.
Im sure you actually started this game post 2016 if you think the first colossal scimmy popped up in 2016, your opinion and experiences are literally worthless, no offense.
q8 colossal scimitars were present when HM was introduced in NF. this was 2007.
req8 diamond aegis's also dropped along time ago.
in 2016 a q8 colossal scimitar was sold on this platform, quoted from a few high end traders to be 1 of a kind, so i guess "colossal scimitarS" were possible to drop in 2007, yes, but actually didnt drop in masses like you propose
also q8 diamond aegises were stated to be "possible drops" but not actually dropped yet in a thread i recently read. i can try to find those 2 threads if you want.
i'm sure you are speaking out of your ass at this point, req8 colossal scimmys popped up on the regular pre 2008-9, req8 dead swords were also one of the very common req8s that dropped from that era.

im sure there are some floating somewhere, the population is literally 1% or less than the original player base, i'm still seeing shit that i never seen before when i check this game out every few months.

Display MoreLike what?
Everything that can drop has dropped 15+ years ago, literally nothing new has dropped besides from unintended bugs.
I'd rather they implement new exclusive stuff then reintroduce req7s and certain req8s to dropping again.
OS wooden and stone chakrams, aureate chalices, knife skin idoli and claw skin grim cestas for example! In nearly 20 years i still havent seen all of these even with usable dual mods, and only handful with any dual mods!
I dare to say theyre rarest OS items and even rarer than q8s
On topic i also agree some armbrace sink would be needed, but it would need to be someting that isnt "easy" obtain even for botters so it wouldnt completely change the market, like 1000a+ someting that changes every week like nick items
im sure there are some floating somewhere, the population is literally 1% or less than the original player base, i'm still seeing shit that i never seen before when i check this game out every few months.
Agreed.. what would be the incentive or reward if they just allowed everything to be obtainable naturally through the game? I get some players play to have to fun and don’t care about rare minis/weapons. But there is a large majority of players who strive for that reward. The hunt to find that missing weapon for their collection or saving up several years to finally get that rare mini they have always wanted. There would be a lot of upset players if they just allowed rare minis and pre nerfed weapons to be naturally obtainable again. Steven, if you’re reading this, please don’t do this lol 😭
today there still are possible item drops, that never actually did drop cuz the chance of them dropping is insanely low. they could implement the possibility and make sure the drop rate is extremely low and more important its not botable (which is possible to do)
Like what?

Every single game is virtual nonsense your not making any sense in your argument, you do realize Anet would never allow such thing to happen as long the game doesn't lose them money.
As soon as they make everything obtainable then nobody WILL actually care and the game will be actually be sent to the graveyard permanently.
I really hope next year anniversary they release MKG, IG, Kanaxai and other non obtainable items like El henchmen, reindeer, coke items, revert q7/8 prenerf just so we can enjoy the game for what it is and be over with rmters
Reverting req7/8's to drop will just be the final nail in the coffin, while they are at it they should revert unconditionals and reintroduce keyless grotto chestruns.
Removing exclusiveness will kill off any reason to even still play this game.
A better solution is to allow people to uncustomize items for a hefty price i.e 100 armbraces or new/more 'gambling currency sinks' for armbraces, ectos, if there are any devs still working on GW1 they should really look into successful games that have adapted currency sinks that manage inflation like PoE.
Display MoreToday, I am proud to announce the arrival of a little brother for Teh Axe. I present to you...
Teh Akhxe
Absent from the game for many years and considered by some to be the single finest item in existence, this ancient relic may be unknown (or maybe unimaginable) to newer players. Many of you, however, know this item from the legendary inventory of Akhilleus Pthius (known simply as "Akh"), one of the great trader/collectors (...and credit card warriors...) from the early days of the game.
Akh rose to fame not only because of his then-unmatched inventory but also as co-leader -- together with Chaos Kurupter -- of Brethren of Chaos [Dark]. [Dark] was a high-end trading/collecting guild where I and several others cut our teeth. Although [Dark] itself was short-lived (less than 3 years, disbanding in late 2007), it is a guild whose impact can be felt even today, as [Dark] alumni continue to anchor the collector community. It is safe to say that, without [Dark], there would be no [PhD], so this axe holds special significance for me personally.
*EDIT*: Since posting this, I've heard from some of you who feel the same way about [Dark], your time there, and the significance of this axe. I've also heard from some of you who are simply happy to see the light of day shine upon this axe once more. I'm thrilled to have had the chance to preserve this treasure and bring it back to the public eye for everyone to enjoy
Please take your time to enjoy the long-lost centerpiece of a seminal collection and the single most distinctive relic of the grand early days of Guild Wars.
Akh kickstarted my pursuit of ancient relics, but none have even achieved a fraction of greatness of what he had.
I'd say the teh axe junior is the greater axe than his big brother such an iconic skin of the holy trinity.
good read you guys, honestly who gives a f.
that war hammer(rams) and sephis is on the same tier of rarity as the crystalline, probably not as near as sought after but just as rare if not rarer.
Posting on behalf of Rice.
What you just posted is useless, there is no point going up the hill and here you are talking about wasting time.
You can already scan the left area for a chest at the start and when you pass the first boss just fine.
If you are pulling 3 burning titans then you are already doing something wrong, I've never had to deal with 3 burning titans if you are using your skills correctly. There is only 2 possible situations you will encounter 2 at the same time.
Speed boost is capped at 33%, did you know?
And you are back seating, you are trying to tell me to run something I've done thousands of times your way, it's quite obnoxious, maybe you don't realize you are doing it.
Emma wow, never thought i'd see it here. It's like seeing an old friend again.
That shield took me several years to sell off, due to the fact i acquired it in a shameful and most dishonourable way possible back when i was a kid. I never wanted to sell it off for profit for a long time till one of the traders convinced me, cant remember his name. Brave something..
Casting sf is fine at the start is fine, its personal preference if you dont want the risen ash hulk to stick on you longer than he should by casting spells on you, its only a few seconds.
I don't take heroes for a few reasons which are:
- they pull aggro
- they soak hits which you need for storm chaser e management
- micromanagement
I don't go up the hill as a shortcut because you will automatically go past that area when you take my route, you cover 4 possible spawn points compared to 2.
Also appreciate if you stop backseating. Thanks.
Uploaded the same build that still works like a charm from several years ago.
This is my all time favourite chest run/build, it's got a mixture of frisky moments and excitement that will always keep you on your toes.
I am not the original creator of this build.
Roughly takes 3.5 minutes per 3 chests.
Build:
OwJTgZ/8ZiHRn5A64wmcFE3hmEA
Directions:
YMLAD on all burning titans, if 2 are on you, cycle YMLAD on them off cd.
IAU + Shadow sanct on double burning titans when opening chest.
Watch out for Wild Blow when refreshing SF with DP.
Drops:
Magmas shields, Raven staves, Undead weapons and Runes.
may the chest run gods bless you all
broadsword req7 is some good stuff.
I like how a lot of collectors are intertwined, we sell something to acquire the next thing on our minds, in this case it started with a dual reduction magmas(the req10 -2e/-2s pictured) i had roughly in early 2006 that i sold off for a measly 25ectos(it was huge back then ok), this funded my next project in which i acquired a magmas req8 +30 +1insp/19%, then i had my eyes set on dual reductions, i was on a quest to collect these to preserve them since the advent of inscription items were upon us.
Dual reductions for me were like the the alien of items from space, they made no sense and it's uses were limited but it was still special to look at.
But i failed and i ended up offloading half a dozen or so dual reductions off to EK and eventually found their way to you, so it's always nice seeing them in the right and safe hands.
You are one of the few i truly respect as a collector, persistence and sheer will in getting it done.
Always a pleasure seeing these beauts.
What a riveting tale, no sarcasm intended, truly amazing.
The Axe is truly the holy grail of items in Guild Wars.
You and your bro always had 1 of the best collections ever assembled and i am curious what items you traded away that is still missing to this day.

Hi!
I was told by Pequeno that you folks would appreciate this. I tried to price check this a long time ago here:
https://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/08/08%20Price%…ection.001.html
I still own all of the items.
Cheers!
that dusk blade might just be the rarest thing i've seen in the past decade personally.
who of those two dared to give you that tower shield?!
This is so sexy!
nothing brings nostalgia like a 30/-2 stance magmas
if it was rams skin it would be definitely over 1000 arms in value.
defender worth something.
axe is a common skin, salvage mods if you want, and merch the weapon.
6 and 7 will be worth worth something.
wayward wand maybe worth something.
zod scepter maybe worth something
rest is merchant food.
worthless, shield isn't maxed. afaik ones like yours can still drop.
Majority of req8 dead bows/sephis were farmed from majesty's rest back in the day in prophecies.
As for pricing it wouldn't be worth as much as a 15^50 on its own, however if someone is making a req8 deadbow collection or has a collection that needs it you could be looking at a similar price.
Pog @ pleikki
i also have 1 lying around somewhere, probably not as rare as you make it out to be.

Taken advantage of? Definitely.
Scammed? no.
Sellers fault for being greedy and hasty, going to have to agree with Kromp, this was how you scored big back in the days.
Having the ability to recognize trash from treasure is what makes a good flipper, although this one was way too obvious the seller should have realized his sitting on a sword that can only be rivaled by a 15^50 version, personally i'd prefer the stance version.
Quite unfortunate.
Personally i would never pawn such a rare sword for ectos at this point of the game, the relic is absolutely priceless.
Got some uh free time today and decided to post some of my favourite stuff in my collection for yall, most people probably have already seen it.
Been hitting path of exile lately, the game actually gives me the same rush that i use to feel playing guild wars.
Anyways enjoy.
Ravens are super underrated, It is probably the only staff i would of started collecting if i could go back in time.
