What was the incubator bug? Did it just not work at all?

People are lazy, so they buy them. Smart people will exploit the lazy people, and a new market is born.

well to be fair........if you do this from scratch, it does take quite a while. Farming up the dusts and woods, turning those into 50 spiritwoods, collecting the 5 skree / 5 bog, finally getting Zho to spawn in Norn arena, visiting all the npc's, and doing SF.....that can take quite a while. Plus you have to have bought all the titles and have taken your toon through all the areas......not like snapping your fingers

100k ? really ?
I tried selling my second one all day long for 70k... never got a buyer.
Sold it a few hours ago for 60k.

not bad return for 10 plat and about 45 minutes of Wiki-reading/Zho-farming/scale-farming.
can you keep making them on the same character or did they cap it?

If anyone is going to spend that much time and resources to make a simple mini-pet it better have a top hat and tell jokes.
Do you hear my demands Anet?

Yeah it's only 1 per char you can make I still have 1 on another char
taht I'm definitely keeping
I didn't go through all that %^%%^& just to sell both and not going to do it again either.
Well unless I'm totally board for a few days then I might but by the time that happens
they could be worth less than the cost of materials and money ect to get it in the first place. lol

i have ten characters, and i dont want ten chicks, but i may do the quests, however, only one has a chick at the moment, another character has completed elona and cantha but hasnt got through tyria yet, and the other 8, are nowhere near any of the places they would need to be to get some of the primary parts done they alone have to. most of my characters havent even got into the first mission on cantha yet let alone past gayla hatchery

Is it exploiting to sell Onyx gemstones for 12K because other players want them but dont want to spend hours working to get them? Dont think so.

Laziness?
Not at all.
The farms and other money making techniques that people have practiced over time will earn them the money to buy eggs/stones/etc.. much faster than making the runs for the actual items themselves. At least, this is how it works for me and those I know.
So to me it's the sellers being exploited, their putting much more effort in gathering these items for us to buy.

PS I reckon I didn't see the irony of my flame-y initial post, it was early/late. I'll apologize

It is laziness, the time required to get the Moa vs the time required to farm the gold to pay for it doesn't add up.
Time to get Moa - 30-45 mins
Time to farm 80k+ for an average person, hours.

I forget how long it takes the new/average player to earn money. Pretty much all the players on my friends list are or were traders. I guess I'm too used to the good life.
Okay, I wasn't aware of farm time for moa; should have researched that before shooting my mouth. I'll stand by my point concerning Onyx, though.

The recent patch removed the trick where you could use another character (or someone else's character) to put the nesting material into the incubator for a character who had never been to vabbi.

It took me:
15 min to get skree wing and nesting materials.
5 min for eggs, 5 min to harden.
Herring was about a 20 min farm.
Zho 45 min, quite w/no spawn then 30 min the next day, I beat her 1st spawn. ( I might have just been unlucky but 1hr 15 min just to see her + @ 1.5K)
5 min + materials and 5K for incubator (materials were about 4K)
6hrs for sorrows furnace (I hadn't done any of the quests to unlock FA)
so that is 9 hrs and 15min across 3 days for my mini Moa, + around 10K in materials and such.
Now with sorrow furnace unlocked and the journal I could run 45 min moas now, but first run I dont think so.

Yep easiest 80plat I've ever made. Sold it as soon as I could cuz the price can only go down (GWEN is so short, people will have more time on their hands to get one). Now that I've made my quick buck, time to go hatch another one to keep for myself ^_^
