Well, at least I sold one earlier this evening while it was still in the 60-75k range. Too bad I am renting my room out to guests...No Gaile Gray circus tonight. 
I am posting from my PSP.

Now I know why all of a sudden I saw several different people in different districts going "WTS IDS 40k", and similar stuff. When before they were hush hush and barely ever sold out right like that.

Well, yesterday before the news broke out the market price for the IDS was about 50k, as most of the people who wanted it had it already (people spammed 60k, nobody buys it). Most of the IDS farmers saved up at 2 or 3 just in case the IDS would be removed from the game. Now those guys will probably sell for lower, at 30-40k. However, most of the IDS farmers will probably also realize that it is not worth farming for the IDS any more (heck, even at 50k, the sword wasn't really worth farming for as it just took way too long to get even with Wa/Me solo runs, just as much gold can be made doing regular farming), so don't expect the price to crash down to 10-20k. Some people might just get rid of it because they have extras (and they know it's possible to get another one if they really wanted another one), but nobody is going to supply the sword because it's completely unprofitable. It's still one of the hardest items to get in the game.
I pwnd U
i think they want the value to go down. just cause prices for stuff is so high already. but they will remain rare so that should equal out the value drop.

Man, how many times did I tell people this?
Folks are so panicky in this game.
They may actually make it drop other places too.

"By all means, elaborate. Once again, we have a screenshot supporting one side of the argument, with the other side being supported by "Gaile's my gooood buddy and she says blah blah" and your post above . . . Do you have a link to a full layout of what she said that will enlighten us as to the future of the IDS?"
Sheesh! How many times does this have to be explained? GG isn't my "buddy", I've just been lucky enough to talk to her in-game twice recently.
Try this. I don't think it can be ANY clearer than this:

Does that help? Can you stop panicking now?

I think ids will continue to drop just like fds, but with random mods instead of the 15^50.

Good to know they'll be around. The price will drop but stabilize, kinda like the green items. As long as they can only be gotten from one place they'll still always have value.

1) there is a Q&A forum, most appropriately entitled, "Questions & Answers"
2) You asked quite possibly one of the most rhetorical questions possible
But I will answer you anyway. Mending will now last 20% longer.

If you're a wa/ele with conjure frost this could be a very good weapon for the fire islands.

He's also been posting about the IDS on the VN boards, saying he has inside information. Here he is saying the IDS was taken out and would be back in as a quest on xmas day:
http://vnboards.ign.com/guild_wars_g...93926497/p1/?5
It was never taken out in the first place.
Ellix Cantero
The IDS was added with the wintersday patch. I have cleared those imps on numerous occasions in the past and I'm sure there are many, many others who had as well.
I'm glad I just have 3 spare left on me. I made a killing off these things the 2nd night they were known about (they were still dropping every other solo run). Prices will drop pretty low because farmers are going to flood the market trying to get what they can, but over time the prices will go back up because as has been pointed out, this is not the most profitable farming to be done even when the swords are going for 60-70k.
And there is always the possibility (as I have personally believed would happen) that the swords will start dropping in a lot of places but in a non perfect form, just like their fiery companions. In that case the 15 > 50 versions will go for quite a bit within a few months time.

That just plain sucks! If they were gonna do this, why couldn't they just say so in their news and updates?! By making it seem like a Wintersday only event they:
1.) made the rich richer by allowing it to sell for 100k-60k when they first came out.
2.) forced people to buy that would otherwise not care or eventually do on their own time due to the supposed event time limit.
3.) made everyone spend countless hours away from friends and family thinking that they had to hurry up and find one before it would go away!
If they simply announced it at the beginning I could have taken my time to get one and spent more of my holiday with my family. I am kind of pissed at the GW developers right now! Thanks a lot Gaile....I know you frequent this forum so I hope you read this.

No, it's not ANet's fault. It's YOURS.
You gave in to the greedy side of your human nature and you panicked, pure and simple.
If you had listened to what I and many other people were telling you, you would never have done something as silly as "spending countless hours away from your loved ones" over a stupid game-sword.
Don't try to blame Anet for the greed in human behavior.

Right, and what was the answer?
People just ASSUMED, pure and simple. Typical mob behavior.

Good thing I sold mine for 80k couple of days ago. I was surprised someone would buy it for that much but I'm happy with that.
Strik3r
Sigh, uninformed people are still buying 60k.

Alright I have a headache from reading through all these pages of IDS discussion. What cave are you talking about where they drop? I'm not a farmer, but I will go out of the way if I am going near it to attempt to get one.
Fates
I agree with Ellix, I made a lot of money on these things. I went from around 200k to well over 500k reselling them.
Valerius
took this from another thread...
follow the red line and it'll take ya to the Ice Imp Cave

LOL! Very detailed, thanks. I actually have a quest nearby, and once I get a friend or two on with me, we may attempt it. Thanks again.
