Richest Person on Guild Wars
ignis
so it turns out I'm as good as a bum compared to most people here. I have a grand total of 75k, no ectos or chards, a few dyes (2-3 of each) and a tatoo set from granite citadell. my most expensive item as of now if probably a HoD sword that I was smart enough to keep for my monk.

but if hes selling a 15% no cond fellblade, i'd be glad to negotiate a price with him.

5 stacks is 1250...

Akhilleus, I'll speak with him
1250 ectos is pretty badass, yeah. but mind you guys, all ectos and shards will become worthless once chapter 2 is out. new items, armors, crafting materials and such, characters, etc - all this will create such massive price fluctuations that most items we know to be expensive now are likely to drop in value tremendously. this being the case, the only stable in-game currenly in my opinion will remain cold hard gold.

Agreed, people will also want their assasin/ritualist fow
Eternal Archaon
Maybe they'll make a amour which builds up on fissure amour, i.e. you have to have all fisure parts to unlock it.

300k+ so far .....sigh...such a long way still to go
ignis
let's not forget how GW economy works and think logically for a minute.
all prices fluctuate dynamically based on real time supply and demand. high supply, low demand > low price. low supply, high demand > high price. so what do you guys thing is going to happen when Chapter 2 is deployed? people will want to try out new armors that will almost certainly NOT require ectos to craft. having said that, demand will drop down like Apple's stock once Windows Vista is released (yes, I am a Windows user and I hate macs
). This will result in tremendous price decrease of ectos. people who have stacks of them will lose huge amounts of money.
other materials that have had no use in Chapter 1, on the other hand, will become a lot more expensive since they will be needed to craft armors and weapons in the new chapter.
now, seeing as that most people fail to realize what I have said above, we're gonna see a shitstorm of threads where people will whine and rant on about how they've been ripped off and threatening to quit GW unless ANet does something about it.
ps: I don't know nothing about nothing

as ignis said, we will be using the materials we have now, which we cant use for anything now, such as rubies + sapphires. Many ppl are collecting/buying many of these, and the last time i checked the rare trader, rubies+sapphires were at 7k each, almost like ecto.
there are 2 possiblities, 1: they become very expensive (maybe even 15k-20k) in Chapter2, because you will need them and the drop rate is as rare as it is now
or nr2: they could become very commen and us, who ahve wasted alot on them will loose alot.
i have been collecting these, and i think i dont want to collect that many (have about 15 of each) because they could become common materials
in chapter2....

@Ignis; you have a very anti rich people attitude. I dont think you realise that when you have invested great amounts of time and effort into the game in order to accumulate the best items possible for it then to become worthless is not something many people will look forward to. Anet reward those who invest time into the game with items which MAY become worthless. It is something which is not fair and will affect the game.
You think that everyone who can afford anything of value instantly ebays or was there at the price reset which is a highly ignorant view. You fail to acknoledge those who made their wealth through more "honest" means.

yet again I have to say that all that matters in any MMO game is that the majority is satisfied. it's the majority that 'drives' the game. and the majority in our case is the straight lot that has better things to do than fill up every single slot of the characters' inventories with somethign that's worth a few hundred thousand gold.

Jealously, aint it a B*tch.

seems to me like you're skipping lines whilst readin posts, my chavvy friend. and no, I am not jealous at all. esle I would't care to elaborate my thoughts on GW economics. but suit yourself. we'll see who's laughing when your 160 ectos turn into 1600 gold.
Racthoh
If you're sitting with 1000k in your stash, I'd say you're fairly set for Chapter 2. Mainly because there are so few items currently in the game that warrant spending such a large amount on. Once you get your Superior Vigor (and absorption if you're a warrior) you don't need anything else. The only thing you would want to buy outside of it would be those very few unconditional weapons that dropped for... I'm not even sure how long players could get them for. Otherwise, you're just looking for the weapon with the rarest skin and best stats out there.
And if Chapter 2 is not supposed to put any Chapter 1 players at a disadvantage, I can wager a guess in that all that money in your stash will be doing is buying the next pretty thing Anet comes out with next.

i fully intend on stocking up on 750 of every single material type including ecto, shards and whatnot, to prepare for ch 2...
and i know ecto will drop, but i dont think they will floor like they did in the price-reset...as they will still be a reasonably hard material to get...
i think that moreso than current prices dropping, the starting off value of materials needed for new armors will skyrocket, as the demand for them will be incredible, btu the supply minimal.
so while ecto will fall, almsot guerenteed, i do not think it will hit rock bottom.
thats my opinion, and im psending millions prepping accordingly.
what i suggest is this...
do not forsake all ecto stroes, have some of them, but do not invest all your money in them, look for currently useless, obscure materials, and hoard them.
if you can afford to do so, hoard a lot of everything, but most people cant do that...
like i said, initially EVERYTHING will fall in price as people sell off bucketloads of stuff to be able to be one of the first people with new armors, and THAT is what will drive the prices down. like with all things, the feeding frenzy is always strongest in the begining.
i fully expect ecto to hit about 5-7k in the begining...and no that wont have disastrous effects on the economy...
at the "height" of the gw economy, when UW farming had not yet been nerfed and gold items were worth twice that they are now, ecto were valued at 7-8k each. but once the craze for the new armors calms down, ecto should rise again as fissure and the new armor types become "side by side" options for ascetic appeal and as status symbols, and given time, whichever requires rarer materials will most likely end up being the more expensive.

I've been saving crafting materials for some time now. I fully expect the prices to jump once Chapter 2 is released.
Currently have 1500 wood, iron, cloth, 1000 tanned hides, and 250 to 500 of leather, fur, steel, linen, silk, and 100+ of a number of other items. I expect to have 2+ stacks of ecto and shards as well. Hoping to get that in gems, but they're hard to get and the prices are higher than I care to pay right now.

I dumped a lot of ecto this week.. but i'm overrun with money.. and items. Completely out of storage space.. wtf do I do? I could spend, but i don't have room to buy anything.. and well.. yeah.. :P I only keep enough space so one character can play :O I only have one id/salvage kit because the space is just that limited.. maybe I'm a packrat?? Maybe I need to update my auctions? Who knows.
I could get fow armor for another character, but I don't personally like ele or warrior.. and I'd rather get NEW armor for my necro.. w/ expansion of course. Oi. Chap 2 could not come fast enough, I get back into farming without clearing my inventory at all! ^_^;;
Serious space management problems. I've been aching for a second account for months, but I've been trying to hold off..

I'm really hoping Anet does something about the horrid storage and inventory situation. Unless you have a second computer to run GW on transfering items between your own accounts is laborious at best.
I'd really like to be able to access a list of what each character has on them without having to login to each one and write it down.

Who says rubies/shards are gonna go lower or higher i think they will stay the same price or just drop a little, fow armor will still be the high end type armor that only the rich have
RoaD_WarrioR
i consider myself rich =)
Mo Joe Joe Joe
You are only as rich as you think you are. Remember how cool you thought you were when you spent your last dime on your first Drok armor set! Ahh the good old days. But who am I kidding I only got a couple ecto in the bank and about 50 plat. It is a shame I feel broke now after upgrading my weapons across the board.
