Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it's still part of the Dragon Festival:

Last year people were selling stacks of victory tokens for like 30k. This year, 7.5k on the first day. So by the time the emperor shows up you'll be lucky to get 1k out of them. I'm not complaining I'm just curious as to what happened.

People kept lots from last time?

Then when they're all gone, the price will go up for a bit.

why am i thinking the trader trading birthday cakes is a wrong idea, especially with how easy it is to get the tokens

I don't remember stacks ever being 30k each. 7.5k-10k sounds about right.

People who want sugar points will still pick creme brulees as they give more points. So it works out.

For some reason I've been getting an increase of orange dye drops during the festival. For example, today I've had 3 drop. Not sure if its a coincidence or not, but it probably is.

Finally! 480k at RBR, it's just a huge jump from 472k! I have to thank my low ping and an echo+srb, but what a pleasure.

Grats! I'm still working on mine. I got my start down recently (Thanks to "Rollerbeetle Lover") I know I can get it I just can't get a perfect run yet. Grats again.

Congrats! Hopefully we'll enjoy some miniRB soon and mine goes to HoM right away. It was strange to only get above 472k once, I've won hundreds of games (got r3 gamer) but today maxed at 470k.

I guess big scores require 3 minutes of consistently low ping, no one kd'ing you, smooth curves from the player, and luck (echo+srb ofc).

Still amazed at the 484,359 that Yuris did (gratz if you read us).

You're thinking of the Canthan New Year. The current event is the Dragon Festival.

Yeah I would probably dedicate mine as well. I got my r4 gamer during this weekend, grats on your r3 (go put it in your HoM =P).

Yeah I'm amazed at both 484's that were put up.... I guess my start needs a bit more work. =P

Done.

Shouldn't this thing have ended by now?
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the AFKing (and we TOTALLY need more of it!), but I am just curious if there was an official announcement regarding it.

I'm wondering, when will the Nine Rings be removed?

I've been AFK'ing on there for almost 100 hours now, I thought it would be 72 hours (3 days). Still I like it, they can make it 1 week if it depends on me, need more progress in the Lucky title. But I'm just wondering, when will the Nine Rings close? AFAIK this is taking much longer than other times, no?

Probably because it started 2h late. I think they should officially have an AFK mode for GW, non-graphical if possible, like in a command prompt.

^^ that makes me have such a geeky idea of programming a 9 rings system in Visual Basic. Comman prompt graphics ASCII art will be awesome.

next live update LOL.

They might be compensating for the time that we didn't get on Thursday, but I wish they'd at least say that's what they're doing and when the thing will be finish.

Anet has never been that good with times. It happened a lot that events lasted longer than announced.
