So with the whole DoA exploit supposedly being fixed now. What do you think is going to happen to the economy? Since this has been artificially inflating the gemset prices for apparently over 5 months, will gemsets spike back up? Ursan still cuts the time in half, so prices should be nowhere near what they were a year ago. But the prices should still increase no?

There are still multiple people out there trading with trade windows full of duped Armbraces, you think a few gems can do any more damage than that? The economy is allready fubar.

the economy, geez, wish it would just be me and the merchant/material traders....
this would get rid of people buying gold to some extent....all items within the reach of the people, then no need of gold sellers.
ugh, the economy.

Pretty much what Oofus said. There are still people in this game that have a mulitple number of duped Armbraces (stacks), etc. The Gem Prices will stay the same imo.

Oofus sums it up very nicely.

It's going to be crap as it usually is. I don't know about the rest of you but I had no trouble when everything was expensive? Maybe ya'll should fail at luck less?

We all know the economy is fubar because what used to be rare is not as rare anymore. Those people that enjoy that need to get banned for ruining fun.

As for price increases? Not much.

yeah there is no longer any thrill in the game for me... I am a low end casual player who likes to go after rare items... there are non in GW except for asian minis...which the market for controlled by an elite group of players...there for no casual/semi hardcore player can ever afford one... I have well over 1 million gold./ectos and still consider myself casual...not a beginner...but not a hard core player either with 5-6 hrs logged in daily..more like 5-6hrs a week....and now i don't even do that

lol -

When they add items that sell for more than 1500 armbraces, do you think ANet actually cares about the economy?


Phhhht


I deleted all my chars and have started over and from here on out I neither buy nor sell to other players - period. My chars are going to have to live off their drops because any "economy" in the game has gone to heck.

I think he meant elite armor. But I agree, I'm happy with my cap sigs and elite armor.

I don't do high end stuff and I rarely buy/trade with actual people. Too much greed, too much attitude.

Don't really care about gems, so won't bother me much, but i think the prices won't change that much, people still do Mallyx the "legit" way.
