Colossal Scimitar...same fate as Dead Sword?

I heard that colossal scimitars are now an easy find in Zhelon Reach hard mode, so i went over there to see for myself. Zhelon Reach now has 2 districts packed with Mo/D farming colossals. Before hard mode, colossals were a high-end item, and now they have dropped in price by a HUGE amount in about 3 days. This same thing happened to dead swords before everyone found out how to farm them during the "ungrateful slaves" quest.......now i feel like an idiot for buying a req 12 colossal for 100k+10 ectos a few hours ago.......

Good bye rarity to colossal scimitars =/

Now we wait for ele swords to get that common

jokes on you, req12
lolzzzzz

I couldn't care less Colossal Scimitar is a nice skin, one of the few. The more common the better.

yeah alot of items have come to that fate :/ that farm actually has almost all of elona's rarest easy to get i even got an inscribable tribal axe so well now noobs can look fly too

Amen brother.

Good bye Colossal Scimitar. Now, almost everyone can have them.

This bothers me ALOT.. GW NEEDS rare skins, dammnit!

Sephis, Dwarven, Summit, Colossal, etc. will all end up being dirt cheap in the end. I <3 Hard Mode.

Everyone deserves to have a rare skinned weapon if they want one. A player with lots of cash is no better than someone with only a little, so why reward only the rich? Not everyone has the time or ability to farm Ecto or golds to afford such exotic items, so it's nice to see prices dropping.

I can finally get the rare skins into my collection w/o paying an arm and a leg

You know what?

GOOD.

If people are willing to over farm it then the price needs to drop. Maybe it was too expensive and rare in the first place.

Heh, won't be rare much longer.

Actually if prices drop too much, everything could become worthless which would also have a negative impact on the economy, hurting poor players even more. Eventually a key will be worth more than the loot to drop from the chests, which will further kill the game.

The drop rate on these things is pathetic... so there's no way that this will become the new "dead sword" (Not to mention that dead sword drop where the 1 monster dropped a sword every time was part of the reason for the price drop).

the fact that something in the game is costing 100k in gold, and the fact that a crafting material is being used as curencey for trade - proves that the economy in the game was screwed up. - so i say thank you A-net for takeing actions that are so far proveing to be aliveing a long standing problem with the system. let the OP whine about not being super uber l33t all he want's - fixing the economy is more important.

What he said.

QFT. Now people can actually earn a cool weapon without a 1000000 to 1 chance. w00tz!

Meh, I'm still bothered by the fact that not a single object in the entire game after you hit the first main cities counts as anything more than vanity. Skins, and nothing more. I realize it's great to work hard for these things, but shouldn't weapons such as this offer a bit more than looking cool? I remember back in the days of Diablo 2 only a handful of the most elite gear was ever found, and it was truly better than all the others, not just a skin. Only the best of the best could attain stuff like that, and they deserved it. I would agree that colossals, and other "rare" items, in GW should be kept rare, IF they had anything that actually made them better than a regular common sword.

If everyone had one they wouldn't be rare though would they?

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot left to farm. Things I'm picking up that made it well worth my investment in keys are diving fast, as is my modest pile of gold.

If it's not good for me, it can't be good for the less gold endowed.
