Oh god I hate snitching little bastard, ONYX has already risen from 6.5k to 8k, I expect them to be 10-12k by tomorrow, It's true that this exploit was unfair to people who went through and completed the ELITE Dungeon, but Slaver's isn't Hard, it's no where as hard as Mallyx before the AI adjustments, if you think that you completing Slavers is a great Accomplishment go do Mallyx on HM, The exploit lower the Price of Onyx, ANET needs to increase the drop rate of Onyx Gems, because after completing Slavers once there's no need to go back again, because drop rates are Horrid just like the rest of GWEN.

um.. why? last i checked, 1 onyx is 7k.. 1 diamond is around 2k. just these two materials will make weapons cost > 90k. deleting anything is too drastic. the market will balance out eventually.

Bans?

Crying for a nerf because you were unhappy about other people getting onyx was petty and pathetic.

Calling for other players to be banned for getting onyx more easily than you did is downright nasty.

Well, they've done it now. All the people that got the gems exploiting will make more money than I could ever hope to see. Way to go Anet, make sure the exploiters keep all the money.

I'll start exploiting soon, maybe I can see some of this cash.

Now you really didn't think this was gonna last right?

You have to remember, with little content, the only way for you to feel you got something in GWEN is GRIND. So, now you GRIND your way there.

Look at it this way, you will feel you got your money's worth with the added GRIND.


Please remember...

I must not GRIND. GRIND is the mind-killer. GRIND is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my GRIND... I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Well, the Duncan bug was fun while it lasted. Now everyone can go back to being poor again! Yay!

Now they should up the drop ammount of his chest now that it's going to be 3 hours to fight there.

Oh I don't see why that is, I've had better success as a Channeling Ritualist in Slavers than anything else.

People really need to open their eyes to other class options for missions. Necro's are not the only class that can kill a mob in slavers.

Oddly enough, the funniest part of the Duncan bug was that it was so blatantly obvious. I beat the dungeon(s) ONCE the correct way with a bud, and the first thing I asked him was, "do you think the door will stay open if one of us leaves before he dies?"

Anet just saved me alot of work. I've got plenty of Onyx in storage, now I can just wait for the price to rise. They just earned me a crapload of money and time now that I don't have to continue doing runs.

Thx! (lol)

Only thing that I'm upset about is why did it take all weekend to do a no brainer? At the least they should have shut the dungeon down to avoid exploiting if they were deciding wether it was wrong or not.

You should be happy they fixed it so fast, it takes them months to fix problems in PvP.

Only guys who made stated it as bug is GWG whiners club. I see no problem people earning cash repeating the boss, the drop in onyx prices and armor remnants are imo good. I see no problem people earning cash running the people to the mission.

And one fact has to be stated that ANet had designed it first to be like it was, or otherwise it would have just been like DoA. I don't think they never still meant that it would be done with runners so they failed again which ain't anything new.

Probably still good that they did this but maybe they could have done it like that 5 or 6 of the 8 would have needed to done the 4 bosses before. Now you can't help your mate in it. Yes, it is herohenchable but still, it's MMORPG where ANet has mostly forgot the MMO part of name.

Awww... don't worry guys, I'm sure, someday, there'll be another bug for you to exploit to your raging little heart's content.

They are just making the game more social. That is why there are 2 people in Umbral's grotto and Slavers is empty...

Now lets see? 10 Onyx and 10 diamonds to get a desroyer wep for your Hall of Monuments at 4 hours a run with H/h (since the two areas empty now)? Hmmmm? Another 40 to 80 hour grind. Oh well, gotta do something till GW2.....

What is this ridiculous notion that the fate of Onyx depends on exploiting Duncan all about?

The stuff drops all over each and every dungeon.

I knew it would get fixed. So now we wait a week for the exploiters to stop crying and then we can go back to normal!

Nothing in the updates about Lightbringer's and the dwarves.

Ofcourse, SE is ton easier than DoA so it won't be so hard to do the whole thing, but most of the people will just turn H/H'ng murakais etc in the 30 mins you can do it.

If SE would be turned to outpost it would ofcourse help. And as I stated before it can ofcourse go to that too that SE will be more popular as DoA what will happen I think, but it ofcourse take's a bit interest of when you have to do few hours job to complete the other dungeons.
