Where Did All The "Shiny" Weapons Go?

Rare weapons cater to hardcore players so they had something to work for. Why can't there be hardcore players? It matters because that's how we like to play, we like to acquire and work for rare skins.

You're telling people how to play the game they paid for. As I've said in previous posts, there are more to this game than casual players and we shouldn't be forced to "play less" as you are insinuating so people can catch up. That is complete and utter bullshit. Maybe you don't care about your weapon, but some people do. You're not the entire player base as your attitude in the post implies.

Your post sickens me.

I was also trying to give you an example of something you could do instead of whining and complaining because I can get something you can get. There are things out there that I can't or won't get aka 15k armor. So stop crying because the casual player can look L337 too. No I'm not telling you how to play just stating the obvious. If your not having fun set it down do something else and comeback (unless your PVP)

Think of it this way. You get to grind even more for gold now, I mean that is what you want isnt it? more grind?

Im not telling you how to play your game even though you continue to accuse me of it when I have stated in posts "I DONT CARE HOW YOU PLAY, PLAY HOWEVER YOU WANT"

I think you need to stop and just breathe for a second and really look at what you are so pissed off about.

Your angry cause rare (or used to be rare) weapons have gone down in price and now you can make as much a profit off them as you used to. You blame Anet for it; and maybe they have had something to do with it. But you answered the biggest reason for it in your post and you didnt even realize it and you think its anets fault.

Look at your quote above.......

Ok you see where it says "What I'm telling you that just because they're more common doesn't mean they drop as often. Think about it, this game has been around for 2 years so of course there is going to be more weapons in the market whether they drop frequently or not. "

Think about it. Its people like YOU that grind ALOT for rare weapons then go sell them that make the price decline, YOU are putting more of the rare skinned weapons on the market. YOU are making prices decline by your insatiable need for gold. All the grinders that go out and farm as many "rare" weapons as possible and then go sell them for as much as possible have caused the prices to decline.

According to you the rare weapons dont necesarily drop more frequently so its not Anet that ruined this for you, IT WAS YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU. Or did anet have something to do with it?

I agree that some weapons Anet caused to drop more frequently, especially because of hard mode. But its simple supply and demand. After two years of rare weapons being supplied, the demand has gone down.

What do you want Anet to do? Make rares drop less? Take a bunch of them out of the game? Dont just whine about Anet not catering to grinders, when they stated they didnt want this game to have grind in it(they even threw in titles for grinders) Tell us what you think needs to be done, instead of constanly complaining that people are telling you how to play a game that you want to grind in when the game wasnt really designed for it.

Go ahead keep farming and supplying more rare weapons and driving down prices. I dont care. Go ahead get mad about not being able to make vast amounts of moneyas easily as you used to, but dont think your entitled to it. The line is drawn when You think Anet needs to make it so you can earn vast amounts of gold like you used to, And the line is drawn when people get angry about prices going down on rare weapons because they dont want to be on the same level as "noobs" that have them.
