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 =/
Colossal Scimitar...same fate as Dead Sword?

Colossal Scimitar is a nice skin, one of the few. The more common the better.

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.

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).
WildmouseX
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.

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.

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.
-.-
I don't really care much what happens to the Colossal Scimitar, the skin is ugly anyways. If it becomes more common then good for those who like the skin.

Wtf?
Kai Simbol
lol i think they should nerf the colossal scimitars outside zehlon reach haha, make it more of a challenge to get, i like challenges to be honest because if i ever did get one i would be happy in the end and find it a goal that i reached and is really proud of it. i always saw the colossal scimitars to be one really high end weapon, its to bad they decided to make it so easy to get, in a way i'm dissapointed but in another i'm a little happy they made it easy to get, but maybe a little TO easy
Marth Reynolds
To bad you already paid quite a amount for one, but i think it's nice to see them become more common even if they might become to common now.
We'll always have rare skins left tbh for example: Crystalline, Stygnian, Tribal axe, Jade sword, and perhaps even the tyrian sickles.
Tribal axes could always drop in lower zones but never had any spot wich dropped a lot of them so that's why i'm thinking they will still be rare.
Now if only my luck changed i'm tired of getting insciptionless rares in NF ><

Any NF skin was bound to be hit by the price nerf bat. The only reason I see people QQing is because they haven't exploited this in time.
Funny thing is that this reminds me of the Kaolin price crash.

And you noticed this just now? A bit late don't you think :/
I hopped in on the ride quit late (Wednesday) still made a mill selling a req 10 & req 11.
And they sorta nerfed it in general, because they say you don't have any farm code anymore. So not true. First runs 1 to 2 gold a run. Now only white junk, and an ocassional purple.

The only problem with prices or rare items dropping in value is that chestrunning becomes hardly worth the effort. If i invest 100hours in chestrunning and hardly get the money of the keys back thats no good 
The only profit in chestrunning came from 3-4 rare items that could be sold for around 100k about 90%of the stuff went to the mearchant.
PS: are serpent axes cheap now? Always wanted one before i knew they were so rare.

Everything that doesn't come from HoH Chests exclusively will be piss poor cheap very soon. Quite ironic, the best PVE Reward come from a PVP chest and go to those that couldn't care less about PVE Stuff. Heh. Besides the drop rate of the colossal is not "pathetic low" but instead "ridiculously high".
Longasc
Separate yourself through skill, knowledge, organizing events... make yourself a name if you need it so badly... not trough ebayed stuff or stuff you earned for having no life.
How about that. :>
I suggest making a super rare skin that is even uglier than a Crystalline, with the fitting ugly and expensive armor option so that we can detect this kind of "i need to have rares to be different" people. :>
