Ectos are now 3k900g at the rare mat trader....THREE THOUSAND, NINE HUNDRED GOLD!
Holy smokes!
So, seen as they are going to get lower & lower, what seems to be the replacement for them for trades above 100k?
Z-Keys maybe?
Well here we have it..

I need to stop even looking in this part of the forums.
Maybe just a firefox filter for the ecto shadow form or chaos plains.

This is not a QQ thread, not a thread about A/E, simply a thread stating that Ecto prices ARE NOT starting to stabilize and ARE going to keep going down.

The plan is working better and faster than even I could anticipate.

Well, looking at every post on here concerning the A/E everyone seems to think that Ecto prices will stabilize, obviously not.

Gimme! I want that FoW armor after two and a half years of scrubby playing!

Maybe accept the fact that ANET is finally going with the idea of items traded for only 100k max?
LOL

Just because they haven't yet doesn't means they won't.
SilentWhistle
They won't....srsly, when they got to 4k500g people were saying 'they'll stay like this now', now we're at 3k900g lol. I feel so bad for these people who farmed for their FoW when it was actually a grind to farm for and showed dedication. No I don't have FoW.

How about people start selling them for 4k+?
It'll only make them richer, and the economy will start to go "back to normal".
If people had no problem paying 4.5k for ectos before, they wont have a problem with it again. Force people to buy ectos for higher prices now.
It's not the amount of ectos people have, its the people who are starting to sell them lower.

There is the possibility, however, that you are right, and it will not stabilize. This will happen if the price of ectos gets so low that they are not worth farming any more. Fewer will get sold to the trader, and the price will rise again. Rinse/Repeat.

To sell ectos at 4.5k now when the trader is selling for 3.9k (can't get on now to verify current price, so going with what was stated at the start of the thread) means that they won't sell their ectos this minute. "Screw that, I'll just buy them from the trader." In the long term, as more are bought from the trader than other players, the trader price rises. But that cuts into the right-now-now-now profits, so I don't expect to see it happen.

Well put. Thanks.

Yeah, because yet another thread about ectos/economy was totally needed.
/endsarcasm
Shall we just make one every time the price changes more than, say, 300g each and be done with it?
Sorry SilentWhistle, this could've gone in any of those threads, or the newest about the economy and been right at home, so didn't need a whole thread.
vote for close, it's cluttered enough by threads on these very closely related topics.

As for this thread: PLEASE STOP MAKING NEW THREADS. We have enough threads as it is to post in about the entire Ecto price downfall, the Obs Shard up...fall and imbalance in general.

If you have alot of money stored in ectos, convert them all to Armbraces/ Z-Keys and forget about it. Ecto prices only affect one thing; the price of ectos, its that simple really.

Maybe Anet wants things like FoW armor to be affordable for more of the casual players so they'll be able to share that sense of accomplishment with the players who've spent years grinding. That IS sort of what they stood for in the first place.
Just a thought.
By the way, I never really understood why people used an item for 100k+ trades that could fluctuate at all. Why not do it with something that will ALWAYS cost the same.... like lockpicks or something? They always sell, and their price always stays the same at the merchant. Z-keys are a step closer to this, but their price isn't set in stone either. Sooner or later, their prices will drop too.
Now that I think of it, why is there a 100k trade limit anyway? Did Anet ever give us a good reason for that?

I need to stop even bother to read threads started by SilentWhistle.Saw atleast 2-3 about A/E and other QQ UW crap started by you in past 4 days.
Stop it.
Stop it.

They made rare items more common, the price went lower, now that ectos are cheaper, doesn't that make those rare items more expensive? Or are people dumb and sell for the same price?
lorph
I predicted this over a week ago only to have people say that there is a 4k pricefloor. hmm

Before Sorraw's Furnance a Req. 9 15^50 gold longsword could go above 100k. Back then we had a 55 friendly UW.

You know, I don't quite recall this much whining when ectos dropped from 16k to 5k.

Who cares about ecto prices?? when i bought my first Obsi armor, ectos were 15kea.... now i bought my 5th at 4kea...
Just play the game, it's not about money...
What's the big deal? - maybe Anet's just punishing those ppl with xxx stacks for buying gold on the internet xD
Is it just me, or have the Guru forums transformed to Flame/Troll-guru?
