I remember that Major Vigor was always five to ten times less for only nine less health.
Sorta like now, except now that I run Sab's, I'm not even slightly bothered by having less than maxed health.
I remember when a sup rune of vigor was worth 48k

What I remeber, and I only learned after the fact, was when Black Dye was worth 30K+ in American Districts and 10K in Europe districts.
A guildie of mine had a freind in Europe and the 2 of them make 1000K in 2 days, each. They then bought a tonne of ectos, driving the price up from 14K to 16K and repeated at least once a week till the economies were balanced. Since then he has been one of the richest players I've ever encountered.
3 Weeks ago he logged off and has yet to return...leaving me to wonder what will become of his massive virtual wealth. He had every mini in the game save Island Guardian and Vizu. He had many R7 swords/wands and some nicely modded gold Crystalines/Dwaven Axes and other rares, though the value of several of them has dropped in recent days it was still a very impressive thing to see a Monk with a Customized perfect R8 Crystaline Sword!
As for myself I spent 200K +100Ectos on 2 of the new items, and they are both worth less than half what I paid less than 3 weeks from the purchase date

the average player was worth 20Kor less from the ANET logs.
superior absorb at 100K was 5X what the average player had so they were left out
75K for a superior vigor was almost 4X the total gold for most
35K a bargain was almost 2X what most had
15K a bargain was seventy five per cent of what the average player had
it is only worth something if you have the gold to buy it
otherwise it is only window shopping while the small number of rich go in the door and buy.
today is much better for most of us except the hardcore farmer with the cut farm govt subsidy

When Sup Abs was 100k was when I learnt about scamming the hard way, heh. Guy spams 'wts Sup Abs 60k' so I went to buy. He cancelled trade 3 times, on the 4th... I accepted without checking the Sup Hammer he slipped in there :P

So this is a thread looking back into the past? Well, i guess it's better than looking to the future (a.k.a GW2) threads.
Oh, i remember..

Lilith St Cyr
Oh yeah... I sold a brown dye for like 10K... Now they're what, 100 gold? (great for shoes, imho)

I remember trying to make some money when Factions came out:
To me, it was pure logic: new campaign, everyone will want to have new armour and thus need lots of Sup Absorptions. So I bought like 20 of them at 60k each.
Factions released. Also, a small update, which stated:
Increased the droprate of Superior Vigor and Superior Absorption runes.
The prices went down to ~10k each.
I got owned

Remember when people didn't make "Do you remember when?" threads? Seriously people if you remember that's great but these threads really have to stop.
Dante the Warlord
Well once people started to stop playing around the time of factions...then entire economy just kinda died.... Less demand and things became too easy to get. Everyone coming in finished the game in too short of a time and there was little point to play past the campaign storylines. They should have just made set rates IMHO.... And now that the Asians are leaving because of the server shutdown, the prices will drop and things will get even more boring... Most ppl playing are casual too. Perhaps if the minis coming in are cool then we might get more ppl coming back in, but yea GW = barely any pulse, so barely any demand for those long sought after items. I think it might be time for me to retire from the game... *sobs* ... good three years and 1,000 hours of entertainment... great time spent having fun with my brother, friends, and guildies, till I was the only one left. Perhaps i should start a giveaway thread....nah.... ill keep these things. Perhaps i may ook at my presents sometime, but till then.. no more daily guild wars XD...
later y'all have fun with wats left maybe cya in GW2

pointless thread
LouAl
yes, it is pointless...so are 99% of the other threads so...
even more pointless is to post "pointless thread" with nothing else.
back to topic:
I remember when I found my first Sup Vig and I was sooo excited because I could get 75k from the trader for it! When I found my first Sup Abs, it was not quite as high. 45k I think.
I really loved when 55's were discovered and bought all the junk to make my mesmer into a 55 for a total cost of 500 gold (collector armor + 100g per rune + free firey flame spitter + free cesta). I wanted to make a 55 set for my monk, but 25k per rune just wasn't worth it.

High supe vigor prices weren't that long ago. Just pre-hard mode.
You can't see me
Yes, I remember when Superior Vigors were that much.
It gave me PTSD.
Imagine paying that much today for a new 55 or any new armor for warriors. It just makes you realize how much has changed. I wish gas went along the same route... but...

i remember when THK was hard.
capping SOJ was hard
capping hundered blades was nearly impossible
Monks were the "elite crowd"
there was never enough monks
Necromancers weren't in the "holy trinity"
rangers were useless, so as mesmers and necromancers
when green weapons from SF or ToPK were going for 100k+
when you didnt need to grind for hours to be accepted in an elite group and were forced to use a dummy pre-made build
good times..... pre-ursan times :P

Dont know if this was already said (didnt feel like reading 6 pages ) but i remember i sold some kinda green for like 80k. I remember when u would go to Sorrows Furnace and a green would drop and it would make ur day, the Villainy of Galrath reward 4,000xp was nothing short of amazing, the log-in screen didnt suck lol, there was no materials storage 
, and 1k Droks armor was soooo awesome.
So many things i miss about the old GW and there only being one Campaign...but theres also stuff that i dont miss lol.

i will explain as i have been here since early beta. THE AVERAGE PERSON COULD NOT EVEN AFFORD A MAJOR VIGOR AT 35K LET ALONE A SUPERIOR AT 75K. 100K FOR SUPERIOR ABSORB?FORGET IT. ANET PUT OUT AN INTERESTING PLAYER PROFILE FROM THEIR LOGS SHOWING THE AVERAGE PLAYER AT THAT TIME HAD 20K OR LESS. DO THE MATH CLOWN MOST COULD NOT AFFORD THEM BACK IN THOSE STINKING GOOD OLD DAYS AND WE CAN NOW. ECON 101 FAIL FOR YOU |
