ok lots of pople have this whole ideal that ectos will rise if they nerf shadow form, this is not true in anyways yesit might lvel off at 3.7 or 3.5k but will never again go over 4k,
so to know why this is ture you wil have to look at supply and demand.
for ecto to go up in price this will have to happen
the amount of poeple selling to trader have to me far less then the poeple buying. so
selling to trader < buying from trader
the tradder does not know how manyecto drop so the sf perma is not the reason why ecto's took a noise dive, here is the real reason
we have 600/smite farma and such most builds farm areas that dont drop alot of ecto like plains does and those build harder to run.also they take longer to do. the perma farm is easy takes hardly no brains to do and is fast and gives 6X times the ecto.
now we have aeasy fast non fail wy to farm alot of ectos , now we have pople with a stack of ecto thats never had more then 20k to there name. and there liek i hate spamming to sell, but trader buying for only 500gold less then what i could sell to real poeple for. 500g not much i have 250 ectos. i will stillget loads and be rich like those other guys.
and thatss the reason its not just sf its the fact the pople with no brains selling to trader like there stacks of wood.
btw 500gtimes 250 =125k so newb that alot fo money to you its worth the 20 min it takes to sell to real poeple soyou dont hurt the gw eco.
anyways i dont like to rant much just thought i would share and descus the ecto fallign in price and the real reason it is doing so
over all nerfing sf will not make ecto rise all it will do is stop them from going any lower, and thats it
why ecto's will not go up in price if they nerf shadow form

Yes, I sold like 5000 ecto's to kill the ecto price and then quit GW.
/sarcasm off.
But the OP is right. Anyways, I'll be making a lot of money, I bought a hell of a lot UW scrolls for 1.3K two weeks ago and if I sell them a la minute I get 1.8K from the trader! Who says the GW economy can not be predicted?
Soon scrolls will run out, like before the last SS/LB weekend (and there wasn't even a A/E back than). Guess what happens if all those additional A/E wanna buy scrolls as well. GoGo Anet, I'm rich!

Nice thread .

I like your grammar. WTB more SF/ecto threads!
Leonhart
I hate reading text that is secretly encoded so that I cannot comprehend what it is about, I like that part where he denies that it isn't a ecto/sf thread when it is clearly about both :/

Reason for low ecto price is SF sins selling ecto to trader, if they stop doing that, price goes up again. Simple.
R.Shayne
There is already enough ecto / shard / shadow threads. I vote merge or close this one.
jonnique
If they nerf shadow form people will go back grinding their titles(favor will go up slowly).
The price of the ecto is still unstable since ecto is still use as currency.
People can still farm ecto in the dragon festival missions.

people also have to BUY from trader for the price to rise. And that is what I don't think will happen as there is an oversupply among players already.

Right. Also, who in their right mind wants to stand around in Kamadan, trying to sell their supply for an ungodly amt of time? They'd just rather gather what they have and make a quick buck off of the trader.

I disagree with pretty much everything in this post that I can make heads or tails of. If you remove the increased supply, prices go up. It might take a long time, but they would. Not saying I think a SF nerf is coming, mind you, but if it did, then yes, ectos (look ma, no unnecessary apostrophes!) would eventually go up in price at the trader.
fenix
Yeah, ecto really will go back up. It has in the past, it will now. Just wait and you'll see.
therangereminem
well ecto 10k then goes down to 6k then 5k and flats out never has gone back up now it happened again ecto drop be time it will flat out at 3.5k from trader it will not go back up
Jetdoc
As said in other threads, it will likely cause the ecto price to rise as some of the paranoia that's being spawned by the SF farm will die away.
The extent of the rise, however, is unknown, and I too am skeptical that the price will rise to pre-SF farm days. The combination of that nerf and the loss of favor might cause paranoia to swing the other way, however...so we'll just have to wait and see.
Playing the ecto market right now has to be one of the biggest gambles in GW right now, outside of Nine Rings.

Im so happy everyone seems to be some sort of gw economy expert. Now if everyone who has been wrong in the past would just shut up, the handful of us left over could have a decent conversation.

You also have to remember that if there are less ecto drops, less people are spamming, which causes more people to have to buy the ectos from the trader. So yes, the price would rise, not quickly, but it will go back up. You have to think of these things like the stock market...buy low, sell high. (Unless they start giving out sub-prime mortgages to the residents of Fishermans Haven, who we all know can't afford them. Then everything goes in the crapper...art imitating life)
Evilreintje
you didn't include the ecto sucktion of fow armors >_> not all people buy them just to sell them again x] so when less drop and more are being spent, the price will go up, no sf = less ecto = more demand duh
viper11025
Well, just so you guys know.
Ectos need to get a kick in the pants.

Arn't you hoping to see the 100k+ 10000000000000000000000e Panda Mini Prices?

I have gathered about 400E now. Ill just wait a month and then sell it. Prices will go up.
Before A/E the ecto price was already dropping... and there are more ways to farm plains than just with SF. Obbyflesh eles can do it too.

"yesit might lvel off at 3.7 or 3.5k but will never again go over 4k,"
Um, it's at 4.1k at trader to buy now.

It is not our fault if you have stacked up a lot of ectos and didint wanted to sell them.
I find this more then righteous to reduce the price of ectos.
I find very idiotic having itens you dont plan to use, specially if they worth a lot.
Now normal players can actually dream to buy their obsidian armor, like me, i am getting myself one at the end of the week.
So stop beeing selfish and get used to the idea that there are more people in this game that want to buy an obsidian armor (buying chaos gloves are not an excuse because they are ridiculously ridiculous and look like a stupid item from those Korean MMO)
Enough!

And yes, they are 4.1 to BUY from the trader (I suspect the price rose a little as people were scrambling to get the last few they needed or wanted before favor ended) but that's not the figure most people are looking at. The figure most people are wanting to know about is what are they worth to sell.
Yawgmoth
At the moment they announce a SF nerf ectos will go up immediately. And will continue to go up, up to the prices from before the overfarm craze. They will once again become the number 1 currency, stable again, and the world will be saved. GG.

These will never for worth less than 1k or more than 1.25k, and can be easily sold for 1.2k. And the amount of title hunter using them will never decrease much, teasure hunter is a huge title, and then there unlucky that 3 times as large.

u fail
ecto will be again 5k+
