The only way we are going to see an increase in ecto is if they introduce more stuff that requires ecto.

The trader price at the time of that nerf went from a sell-to-player price of 3,300g (and falling) to the current trading range of 4,100 to 4,300. In the secondary market (player-to-player), the result has been a shift from ectos being 30+/100k to 26-27 for 100k. This is a permanent price increase. Granted, ectos only recovered about half of their loss from the 20-22/100k days. This result obtained because the instantaneous rate of ecto generation (measure it as ecto/second or minute, on average) remained higher than before, leading to a lower price at which it becomes more profitable to trader ecto and spend the time savings farming more ecto than to chase an extra 300-400g on each ecto by selling. . |

| Paragons have been nerfed so many times and they are still overpowered but they are near to balance though. |
| Dervish EXTEMELY UBER overpowered AoM and Wounding strike are overpowered this was anet trying to make a paladin class i think it needs more healing and reduced damage. |

So, they will not invest again in ectos. The new currency are Z-keys. |

The key is: As in, maybe. Now, as we all know, ArenaNet operates in Valve Time. Next week in Valve Time = 3 weeks later. |

Before ursan became so popular, I could at least go to ToA and get in a pug. There was a time earlier this year when I joined a FoW pug almost every night of the week. Usually just a group of people looking to do something more challenging and maybe get some nice loot out of it. There was no concern with "beating" the area to get a chest to spawn. With ursanway, everything else is sacrificed for the sake of getting to the reward chest as fast as possible. In its current state, the FoW is just a glorified chest run and anyone not interested in that run isn't welcome there. |

Thus since the farming population changed from hardcore to casual you will have a DECREASE in the amount of quality items you are looking for to be in the marketplace because those casual farmers are KEEPING those items for themselves or their heroes now. You have to remember hardcore play these types of games 24/7 whereas a casual farmer might play the game 2-4 hours/week, thus a big loss in game equipment showing up in the markets until they deck themselves out and their heroes.
