I knew the economy was bad but gees, just went to storage in LA USA Dist 1, and found out they've laid off a few Xunlai members.
Now I feel bad for not getting the Xunlai rep his supplies back in KC.
on a serious note did this just change?
Xunlai numbers decreased

you should probably read through the update notes. storage is now handled by the xunlai chest, and extra chests were added in various spots around larger towns.
Aera Lure
Haha. Corporate downsizing due to a way being found to run item storage without the need for a paid Xunlai representative at all locations? Gaming imitates life. I'm a bit sad really when I run up to a Xunlai Chest.

Aera Lure, I know what u mean.

Man poor agents. They were always kind and helpful. Now they will have to become bots to make ends meet. Or sell their services as henchmen on the streets corners of towns.

The disenfranchised Xunlai now work at Techsupport for Dell.

I'm guessing they weren't in a Union. 
Roshi_ikkyu
They were in a guild but since when has anet cared about guilds :P
Lord Sojar
Poor Xunlai guild, and lack of benefits and massive cutbacks. Have a good time at Dell tech support agents!
Shadis
How long until we see "Xunlai Agents For [Hire]" storming the GvG Ranks? They have a lot of free time on their hands now.

weekend event: xunlai agents protest! Come and join us at Kaineng Center next weekend from noon pacific (GMT -7) till sunday at 23:59 pacific. Plenty of booze will be distributed.

I'm just waiting for a military coup by the Xunlai, they're gonna take over Tyria city by city... (and maybe in a PUG)
Hyper Cutter
When they moved the chests about, I wish they'd have moved the ones at Gate of Torment...
GloryFox
It was the +25 Armor Cap Nerf they simply went on "strike" or did a "rage quit".
I do find this quite odd that ANET chose to simply remove the Xunlai agents as I found them a fun visual aspect to the overall game experience.
Perhaps PvP players found them out of balance and therefore obsolete on the Island of Balthazar?
PvP Xunlai Nerf?
(c'mon you got to have a sense of humor out there in PvP land)

They are all getting their stuff together for their own monument and we will be seeing thier decendants in gw2....but for now they have all fled underground (so they will be in gw:en).
Glad they didnt go on strike, would be hard to get my stuff from storage then.

If it were not in every town, I would have guessed (at least for the major three towns:LA, Kamadan, KC) they moved them in prep for something to happen in the towns in regards to GW:EN.
Magikal
^^ Oh ok, I was wondering about their relocation...I first noticed them in a different place in Kamadan.
ChyldeOfTheLotus
Really? I heard a bunch of them got fired for embezzling ectos from the storage vault.

I thought it was Mad King Thorn, as an attemp to steal their funds. with the support of the Monk Guild.....
Wait that was King Philip IV of France, and the Knights Templar.
Seems strangely similar....

Did they make make them evil like that one thats outside rankor? Shes a beast. Shes like 10x my size its crazy.
rick1027
no wonder the ectos have gone down those embezzling bums
Roshi_ikkyu
I blame the storage increase we were given, its clear now that it added to the running costs forcing Xunlai to reduce numbers
Henchman
It's all because of the farming nerf..
People aren't making any money...ecto prices have crashed..
The economy is crippled, and the Xunlai guild had to make a huge round of layoffs.

The agents all realized there was no longer a point in staying in the game... and have gone away until GW2 is out. The only ones that stay are the ones that want to grind for titles and get a Hall of Monuments.

i saw a xunlai agent in UW trying to farm ectos the other day with necromancer muun from sardelac doin the old 55/ss build...i dont think anet told them that run was nerfed long ago. also while on WoW i coulda sworn i saw one run by carrying a bag of gold, trying to pawn ectoplasm off on the auctioneers.
MSecorsky
There's word that Xunlai Agents and chests are popping up now in WoW, Oblivion and StarCraft looking to set up shop, in some cases insighting riots. Can anyone confirm?
Diablo???
This is bad, laying them off like that. Remember what happened the last time they laid off a Xunlai agent...?
assassin_of_ni
see told you
assassin_of_ni
and again....
Diablo???
lol, apparently the xunlai guild needs to construct additional pylons.

When they have agents famous enough to actually have a name (the Great Honlo of Kaineng City) loose their entire freaking vault what did they think was going to happen?
Further, to not be able to get it back themselves, to not even purchase *experienced* people to retrieve it, but either some random yahoo from another continent or some person just fresh from training on Shing Jea - well, that just complicates the problem. Sure that person ended up stopping the plague later, but at that time they were just fresh from the boat and some random stranger in a large city.
Plus, given how trivial it was to retrieve one has to wonder how badly they want to protect our goods and gold we deposit with them. Even a level 15 group can easily retrieve it.

i suggest...no....i DEMAND! a xunlai henchman with portable access to storage. Theyre getting paid for drops and i am conveneinced its a win-win situation and the xunlai agents' families dont hafta starve and die of hypothermia during wintersday (or if grenth decides to go on a killing spree again).
