Trading is ruining guild wars?
Megadeth the monk
Since farming is becoming worse and worse, people have gone to selling and buying for money. A regular farmer may make 20k an hour, but a trader may get 20 ectos an hour. Which of these people work harder to get this money? The average farmer now has to work harder and harder for money well a trader gets rich in a few days. With the amount of rich people increasing because of trading, the farmers have begun to become poorer because the price of items has increased because the wealth of traders is increasing. Cool items have begun to cost even more than obsidian armor or chaos gloves. Did the creators of guild wars intend for this to happen? Guild wars is about going off on a grand adventure with friends and ally's to get better and better. This is getting ruined by traders. Now, somepeople may think im an idiot for saying this or that im completely wrong, but i stick by my opinion. Ok, my suggestion is to make all rare materials untradable so they cannot be used as currency. This means you can only buy from a rare material trader or farm them yourself

where is the suggestion, is this just a rant?
Nice too edit in a suggestion to make me look like a fool.

1. Don't double post.
2. If anything ruined Guild Wars in the first place, it's farming and grinding. Trading is a legit and encouraged way for trading in any MMORPG.
3. Neither trading or farming has little to do with "going off on a grand adventure with friends and ally's to get better and better."
4. No one's stopping farmers from engaging 'power trading' to make more money.
You're basically suggesting that we should make it so that farming would be the only real possible way to obtain Ectos for Obsidian armor. Sorry, that sounds somewhat ridiculous to me.

Untradeable materials? That's just bizarre.
I also don't buy your argument that "cool items have begun to cost more" when the prices of most high-end items are going down, not up.
Farming is much easier than trading. If you don't believe me, go try it for a few hours.

anybody that trades to get money obviously doesnt like the idea. But why have farming and grinding if you can just trade, might aswell remove dungeons and uw/fow.

Every MMORPG has power traders. Deal with it. Horrible idea, /notsigned.
skervy
and ya the prices thing your totally wrong everything is dropping besides the ultra rare minis that arent multiplying in mass numbers cause of farmers
Megadeth the monk
Well suggestion is make rare materials non tradable. That would kind of even up the money making between trading and farming.

Worst idea of the week.
If rare materials were untradeable, than what would be used for trades over 100k?

Shouldnt even be trades over 100k. If there was wouldnt you think anet would make you be able to hold 1000k or even more in backpack?

And how about if I counter with this: "there should be trades over 100k. If there wasn't, wouldn't you think anet would make you not able to trade materials?"

outta curiosity if its so easy to make 20 ectos in a hour then why dont you just shut up and do it?
Megadeth the monk

Yosh
Ya. Trading is horrible. So is interaction. You know all those "people" running around? Ruining the game I say.

So wait, your saying that the people who farm for high end items arent going to be able to afford other high end items because the price is going up (which is isnt) on the items that they themselves farm and are trying to sell? Wow that confused the heck outa me just typing it out, i cant immagine what it must be like to actualy think like that...
Megadeth the monk
Not the trading thats bad, but more the part where half of people trading are getting scammed out of money. and i also dunno much about price of things since i dont trade so ya.

Oh, and on your idea, isnt part of the game to farm and sell for money, or why else would anet have it?
Kerwyn Nasilan
Me thinks OP doesnt know prices and sold an eternal blade for 20k or something.

Trading is bad. Poor noobs like me who only make 2k an hour farming (cus we are dip$hits) are getting scammed by power traders. Us farmers should get crystallines and ecto's every run to even it up!

The expensive l33t weaps are going down. I remember getting my torment scythe a couple months back for 100k+35e. Now they're around 100k+10e. ya got it backwards lol

lmao this is the most hilarious topic I've ever seen in the history of my forum life, and not just GuildWarsGuru, I'm talking about everywhere.

This would solve nothing. People would just use different items as currency. What if you like to play in the UW? Not to farms of course, god forbid, but because you like those big adventures with your friend. You get an ecto drop, but have no use for it. What do you do? Well, can't sell it or give it to a friend even if they needed it, guess you have to sell it to the trader for a pitiful amount.

Why anyone would want to buy anything from another player in this game is completely beyond me.

Prices are going down as time goes by more people are getting better and farther in the game gaining many items for themselves or the ability to trade for them. Theres a few super rich that keep a few items very costly because theres few of the items to go around except among other super rich but who cares either find the item you want get super rich and buy it or forget about it its just a graphic after all,in most cases nothing really extra beneficial about them.
Trade is great it allows people to buy/trade for things they dont want to spend hours on end trying to get and still may never get what they are trying to farm.
The demo version of Guild Wars blocks trade after paying well over a hundred dollars for the game I dont want to pay that much for the demo.
The main problem with trade is the spam on all chat channels I suggest anyone doing any excessive trading on any chat channel other than the trade channel be set to ignore (even guild and alliance after a warning)and definitely don't buy from them no matter how badly you want the item that just encourages more spam. Buy or sell the things you want from a good trader.

You make Power Trading seem like something very easy, something anyone can do, yet dispicable because there isn't any 'hard work' involved.
Let me tell you, it isn't simple. You need to know your way around the high end items, prepare to take a risk when buying something expensive, hoping you can sell it for profit...if it was easy, everyone would be millionaires now.
But you already told us you don't know much about trading. Wouldn't you do some research about the subject, before bashing it and asking Anet to screw the players over who do invest their time in this feature?
