As we all know, the Guild Wars economy has been and is in shambles, and as time goes on it will only get worse. I think I've come up with quite an ingenious solution to this problem. It's the only way.
Basically everything needs to start over. I think ANet should delete every gold piece, every ecto, every everlasting tonic, every expensive dye, every Z Key, every miniature, all gold items, all green items, all weapon mods, all sets of prestige armor including Obsidian armor, as well as anything else that is used as any sort of currency or has a value of over 10k.
Also, all skills unlocked, including elites, should be ununlocked. So that people can't just start farming the hell out of every item right away. And to make sure they don't just rebuild their builds, I think every skill should be dramatically nerfed. Basically so that all new strategies and techniques and everything would have to be relearned.
Now, by delete I don't mean remove the item from the game, I mean just delete all the ones in existence.
Now yes this seems harsh, and thousands of people would be losing gold and items that they have spent hundreds and even thousands and even tens of thousands of hours getting. Even I would be losing a great deal of gold, ectos, and items, but I am willing to sacrifice. I think this is a necessary solution to the Guild Wars economy problems. But it would have to target EVERYONE. No account could go untouched, otherwise it would offset the balance.
Essentially we could peacefully go back to "the good old days", and really enjoy this game the way it was meant to be enjoyed before Guild Wars 2 comes out. If I missed anything that should be deleted or changed in order to fully get the desired effect of this, please do mention them.
This is not a rant or anything like that. I am not jealous of people that have more money than I, I just want to have the old Guild Wars back. The Guild Wars all us old players knew and loved.
