i hate them


o yeah i said it

again anet implements an easy to get to easy to acquire object that drops UBER SUPER RARE 1337 items that lose all ther status because everyone and their grandma can get them. Here's a list of objects that drop from this chest....

Crystalline
Dwarven axe
Eternal blade
Stygian reaper
Voltaic spear
Silverwing Recurve Bows
Elemental sword
Zodiacs
Legendary sword
Runic Blade


All items that were worth something and now are quickly eing driven down. when will anet learn they are messing up their own economy? my answer is when it's too late. they wont realize that everything is worthless until a 500 gold is all it takes to buy an ecto and everybody is running around with fissure armor. seriously what pisses me off the most is eternal blades dropping from it. they have been around for what, 1 month? and they were only dropping from 1 source, one source that actully took work to get to. nd now allu have to do is RA with some mindless idiots and a cookie cutter build and BAM u have one of the so called "rarest" weapons in the game. there is no incentive to even do Deep urgoz or UW/FoW clearing anymore besides a little crappy statue in the Hal of monuments.

I agree with the above statement in the fact that shit does happen, and people need stop crying over it. The economy was crap before the zaishen chest so it's really not worth it to complain.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Guild Wars was designed around the casual player. Inscriptions were a step forward if you consider the business mantra just as this chest is too.

You might be unhappy but the hundreds or thousands of people with new items to use and sell probably disagree.

I wouldnt call the above listed items "UBER SUPER RARE 1337" actually, go get req7 and 8 tyrian/ canthan non inscribable stuff. Inscribable stuff supposed to be crap and worthless

Also, its good that ANet makes all skins accessible to everyone.

No doubt this kind of thing is pretty bad if you have a stack of ectos. I don't. I suspect the OP does. Bummer, eh.

People are always complaining about these things "ruining the economy", ie you no longer have to do repetitive farming for months to be able to afford to buy something worthwhile. Seems like a good thing to me.

Same with me, my best was a r9 smiting rod. And I've never got any of the above listed items as drops, I'm waiting for the time when I can get voltaic spears to all my casters (as I dont have unlimited money)
Nice move, ANet.

At least other people don't have to work that hard for it, be glad for them.
Sooner or later every item that still drops will lose value.

You say the economy gets messed up by making rare items less rare, but maybe the economy was messed up in the first place and now it gets straightened out a little

The economy was just hanging on but they just killed it with this stupid completley mindless idea of a chest which they took no thought in adding. There treating it as a single player game now and they dont care. They just want to make money quickly and if they want that they should charge monthly so we can all quit, then there dev team will be better but still utter crap.

Can't take the heat, don't jump into the fire.

You should have known that most people prefer having lower prices for everything. Not everyone wants to spend months just to get a see-through sword.

How much fun did you get from opening the chest? Its a big game and adding small additions doesnt help, especcialy when there just replicating them from other areas but adding a different access to them. WELL SPOTTED. YOU WIN THREAD

They hyped this addition up as something good, then it was a lame chest, that completley destroyed the economy and ruined part of the game. The reason for this? 'GIVE PVPERS SOMETHING NEW'. I dont pvp because I'd rather do it in a proper game like CSS but im sure they would want a new game mode or just something really new not a chest for golds which they dont need to pvp with.

Wouldnt you rather have something for useful to use your faction with, dont ask me what because I dont get paid to make ideas, some moron at anet who should be fired because he fails at his job has to do that.

Either way it happened. Anet has done plenty of things that have "ruined" the economy. People go and QQ about it then get over it. Same thing will happen here. Going to be QQ'ing for awhile then everyone will just get over it.

Stopped caring about high-end items after the duping bug, watching random people with masses of cash they just got from duping ectos and armbraces kinda killed pve for me.

Atleast now people can get a decent cash flow from PvP and enjoy some of the rare skins without having to bid against dupers.

Rare skins for some = Q.Q poor people
Rare skins for all = Q.Q wammos, becuase they dont look "1337" anymore.

just cant win.

Now the only rare items are non-inscript req7, 8 and in some cases 9's. This chest has flushed all rare insc weapons down the pan, gg

On the other hand i'm enjoying my new perfect req9 runic, bought for an absolute bargain price

so this is what this is all about, you jsut want to preserve your weapons ranking.

as time goes on more weapons drop, people buy and then demand goes down, it happenes for everything.

these chests jsut promote pvp, with 15 keys i got 5 firewater,3 cremes,3 golds (crappy) and 4 ranger tomes, or somthing like that,low chances of getting that uber-leet drop...
