Let's just say A-Net did nerf SF tomorrow..

K, so let's just say tomorrow, SF is nerfed. Everyone that CRY_CRY'd is happy and /dance. But, thinking about it, wouldn't it be the A/E's who are the 'winners' again? Most of the A/E's will now have stacks of Ectos, and if they see 'Decreased duration of Shadow Form x....x' , surely they'll be the ones /dance, as Ecto prices wil be going back up, and once they do reach a decent level again, say 4.8, the A/E's will be rushing to sell them, and surely, this will put the so called 'economy' in a worse state than it already is.

So, my question is, without anyone QQ'ing, should A-Net leave A/E how it is?
OR
Should they nerf it and take the 'see what happens' approach.

This is gonna be ripped apart then locked.

But - honestly, i don't care what happens, if it's left as it is, i get my items/armors i want. If it's nerfed, i continue making sufficient money the way i used to.

I'd like to see SF nerfed into the ground and unusable even tho i never use or used the A/E under world build. The perma SF is making it possible for anyone w/o skill to do under world speed clears and making eternal blades more and more common...

No.


it is clearly too efficient in farming ectos, as evident by the collapse in ectos prices that have remained relatively stable for ~1 year.



Yes.

At least one thing needs to be nerfed, either SF or the actualy Chaos plains run itself.



/close

Ii say they just leave it alone. Most of the community is happy with it the way it is. Might as well keep them that way until GW2...

it should be nerfed, no 3 skills should make a player near invincible and yes a/e farmers will be crying the loudest but will also have stacks of ectos and therefore be best off again,

Lets dump it in the sewer and say we nerfed it.

It wont matter even if they do nerf SF tomorrow. Ecto prices will stay low for a long time, because no A/E will want to wait for prices to rise to sell their ectos. But if they do, prices will just plummet again due to the enormous amount of ectos on the market.
IMO, Obsidian is worth as much as a wood plank, cuz ectos are so easy to get. I think im gonna invest in shards.

I'd rather people quit QQing about "oh noez mah online monies isnt worth as much nemore", but it wouldn't make a difference to me. For some reason people in this community don't seem to realize that ectos are an investment.

IBTL........who cares? since everyone is Q.Qing about Ectos i won't be shocked if Anet nerf it.........I will call them Stupid because they didn't think about what was going to happen when they Buff SF.

guess what...some people protect their investments.

Does your house have insurance?
Your car?
Yourself?

I say we buff SF to 200 second duration with 10 recharge, and when in form you get 50 heal/second.

And that is it 0 Shadow Arts right?

i got FoW in under a week of 1 hour farming a day (3 runs/day).

the economy never was very stable to begin with, however there is a clear advantage to being a sin/ele in pve. if anet does not care about the pve economic state of the game (shown with Ursan), then clearly the SF sin will be left alone (which is my personal bet).

but who really cares about the economy of a game...

Just to spite them, I'd go back to the old SF/Recall/Sliver tombs run for 5 hours a day and sell all my ectos to the trader.

100% Agree.
One has to think, what were the A-Net team thinking when the buffed SF?
Surely they knew this would happen.

Move to close, sir...

i dont csre i qquit anyways

i agree 100%. i also think it should have 100 holy dmg AoE per second.

it would be teh prozor B) and make all professions teh prozor also

Why bring Ursan to this? You're only making more arguments. Ursan is fine as it is.

As for Shadowform, Anet realised that it would be this popular...as they wrote all of the 3 skills used for the chain. They knew this would happen.
