Would have preferred q9 but i'll take it

Just a neat little bonus while vanquishing

I wanna chime in as someone who's Unid shield auction has ended recently and who farms shields either way, whether planning to auction or identifying them myself. This isn't really an opinion, more so just my observations.

Ironically it was in fact my bad luck with identifying shields that has recently made me start collecting them unidentified and just auctioning them off as a package. I figure that this is the better way to consistently make some ectos, as long as there are people to take the gamble, rather than hoping i'll drop a nice one frequently enough.

But it was even more ironic that when i stopped collecting the 50 for the package and started to identify shields again i got lucky soon after (as seen over on "How did guild wars treat you today?").

So what does this help? Well i think it tells us that decent mods and the hp mods in specific are just as rare as it seems, at least from my own experience. As for my own auction i can not actually prove and only state that i have not checked my unid shields.

What i can say though is that i specifically sorted out the q12 to q13 ones, cause even with perfect mods those arent so valueable and i dont have unlimited inventory space either. So i identified those and i think only very very few (out of the maybe 60 or 70) had perfect hp mods, or other nice mods like +10vs for that matter. So if those are anything to go by then the q9 to q11 from the auction will have equally little to no perfect hp mods.

Like Ravenshaw says, as long as people are aware that this is a gamble (with the trust being a gamble in itself) then i think it is fine and should be allowed.

Side note:

While it wouldn't help with the whole trust thing it would be interesting to analyse drop rates for shield mods and get an idea of percentages.

I don't really get all the requests by people. Why would the Op bother to sell anything, when he hardly plays the game to begin with? And what would he buy, if nothing else in this game comes even close to his collection and it's value anyway?

I agree with what previous posters said: please just make a nice screenshot collection and tell all your stories from the old days. Those would be cool to hear

So the character from my screenshots above (second oldest char) is 196 months old.

The very first character on my account is also 196 months old, but maybe an additional 1 or 2 weeks, i can not remember exactly.

Maybe that helps narrowing down a timeline of events?

Also that character has uncovered slightly more of the one pvp area:

Ah cool, i have this area too:

I didnt read the whole thread, sorry, but are we saying that the now inaccessible pvp arenas got covered in clouds again?

Cause that certainly isnt the case for the second oldest char on my account. I even recently based my cartography title on those bits, so that i could save other annoying bits in the southern shiverpeaks lol

If i misunderstood then never mind this post

While waiting around for favor i tried (once again) to stop the Rt/A farm bots from entering the Underworld.

I finally found a tedious method to do so via "redirecting" this unemployed temple acolyte to the merchant, where the bots stop to empty their inventory. He bodyblocks them for long enough that they kneel at the merchant instead of the statue.

Sadly it doesn't last long before they just rezone and the acolyte moves on.

I wish Anet still cared..

Oh baby..

The tower shield had dropped quite a while ago, but now it got a creepy half brother

You might ask yourself why i even bother keeping these and the answer is.. yes

Last Up!

Hey all, here is a nice one for all you gamblers out there, a bundle of 50 unidentified shields:

All of these shields are oldschool, unidentified and have not been checked for any mods. They just come as they dropped (minus q12 and q13 ones because no one wants that).

For an overview of the skins, reqs and attributes see the spoiler:

I plan to leave this auction open for a week or two, depending on interest.
Accepting bids til Sunday 1pm GMT

The shields will only be sold together as the depicted bundle. Payment beforehand or via a trade mod (with a big inventory..)

Thanks and have fun bidding

Hey all, i'd like to know if any of these shields are worth something

Thanks

UP

Accepting bids until Wednesday 11am GMT

Do we really need all these services though?

I can't help but think this is just an excited student's project for economics, for a 16 year old nearly dead mmorpg as well where nothing can go wrong financially. No offense..
