I don't think we should be encouraging illegal pre items here. Just my 2 cents.
When anet cared about the game, people got banned for having and selling these items. Max gold post weapons, tomes, sup vigors, etc

It's knowingly and openly cheating.

Well at this point in gw i dont think anyone cares about such, there are worst illegal things going on then 10years old glitched items imo.

I dont see anything wrong with those items

There is quite alot golds in pre, most long gone tho

I am going to have to agree with ikki on this one, they dont seem to care about those kind of things anymore and being 10 years out, if they wanted to get rid of them, I think they would have done that by now.

The difference is that in the past people were banned for advertising they had these items or for using them - like the ele that got in trouble for having savannah heat in pre.

They aren't like unconditionals or mausoleum items that people were never banned for having. Triple mods and these pre items shouldn't even be compared in the same sentence. Savannah heat in pre is so much more of a game breaker than a wand with an extra mod.

As someone who used to be a perma pre player, I'm voicing my distaste. If people want to show them here, who am I to stop them if everyone else is for it. But owning those items in pre is a much bigger game breaker than a mausoleum or unconditional item and historically a much worse offense with a ban as the punishment.

Guru was against selling triple mod items for years on the forums because they were a glitched item that never even resulted in anyone being banned for owning them. Now were saying people can show off items that were so glitched people got permabans for owning... Ok.

I rest my case and won't comment on this again unless otherwise addressed.

guru was against selling the triple mods because anet told us they were going to fix them (and that selling them was a no-no) --they never did .
Wasnt around for the guild hall debacle, but anet had their time to fix those as well--they chose not to again.
Guru has to follow the rules as well---if anet says 'dont allow these to be sold/traded' we dont, if they have fixed things (which they tried to do with the glitch--failing, but yeah) and dont say anything about the items...then .....

Worrying about ten year old bugged items when botting is not only ruining market but almost undoubtedly supplying (inadvertently, I pray) half the OS items in game and on guru seems weird to me. If a net cared about anything in this game, which they clearly don't, they'd hit that first....

The Difference between Pre golds and unconds/triples is that

Pre Golds were acquired by glitch, like duping and Mallyx glitch and thats because anet banned ppl for em because its breaking the game and EULA.

Unconds and triples in otherhand are breaking the game asmuch in its way, but you didnt need to glitch gw or break EULA to get em, that for wasnt bannable offence.

As 1st when we started post our triples here in 2010 i remember when Anet though 1st we glitched em and added the 3rd mod somehow, eventually they saw it wasnt like that tho.

So im just saying imo they are as harmful as golds in pre for the Metagame, but since thesedays noneone cares about anything, it doenst do any harm to anymore.

its as harmful as owning a duped minipet, and well that noneone owning IG/Panda or kanaxai etc just cant know if theirs is duped, theyre just got the same way as Golds in pre, Glitching ;P

hmm a lot discussion going on here - and it is very difficult for me not to put my own statement - you know you just feel the urge you have to post your thoughts on it... it´s a curse...

But - I withstand said urge and try bring it back to topic - to collections.
So here´s an update on my collection as some VERY nice additions were made since my last post here (for some reason the newly added items tend to have slightly different text color than the "old" ones, so you can easily see the new ones - so it´s positive after all )

The +10 with DMG reduction





The +10 with HP mod - note the 4 elements set being finally complete :>



The perf Attribute shields



And The Standard



Thanks for those new additions to many friends, guildies, occasional guru sellers and regular suppliers - couldn´t do anything of this without you!

(And ye - those new babies cost me a lot :_( RIP ecto stacks... yet was worth every penny C: love them so much)

Guru goes wild seeing this post. People crying from jealousy. Others sitting silently in a corner, just staring in the distance. Some are are drooling over these items. A few are stabbing their eyes out so this is the last they'll ever see. Kamadan doesn't understand what's happening, they don't see any eternal blades so think this is for noobs. And me? Meh, seen it before, nothing special anymore :P:P:P:P

God damn.

I think Ikki has top 5 active collection in GW. I put him up there with people like the Captain... Just so much variety, quality, dedication, and above all else breadth.

This is a true collector!

Yea, I'd probably go along with that....

But you raise an interesting question... Who has the others in the top 5... Or 10...

And no, I don't expect to feature.

you won't get an objective answer on your question max ;-)
Think the collection game is 100% subjective since everyone got it's own preferences.

One might think that the most expensive collection is the best. Someone else will say the most complete one or the most specialized one...
so no chance to compare inbetween different collections

just my 0,02$.

You're sorta right Sys.

I would say #1 is easily Kromp/Kabong if considered together.

Q8 15% double bladed, Q7 twin hammer, Q8 45/-2st Magmas and Q8 10/10 Fire Dragon (not to mention at least 3 Q7+5e Canthan) alone put them at the top....

Stuey is up there too; Ikki. I dunno, everyone is gonna have their own top 10...

I did specify active though. Akh, Cap, Herb, Eir of Asgard are def some of the best no doubt, but they haven't been on in ages I think. Can't be discluded tho.

Thank you all for your kindness!

I have to say here tho, i dont think my collection is best or one of bests, but its awesome because ive build this collection in most parts 2015-2016.
Dont think many can say the same prolly less then 15 items from hundreds i just posted ive had pre 2015.

Im proud of it and i think thats all that matters knowing the time, swet and tears i put into building it.

Personally id say kabong has the #1 collection for these reasons:
1. Its complete, every skin q8 15^50 hammer
2. Has really rare one of a kind items on it ( swamp, dwarven, ascalon, shining, clouded etc)
3. Also has alot more then that q7 hammers, more swamps and dwarvens and other mods.

Everyone has own reasons think whats #1, personally if u complete some collection makes the collection worthy. Only ever seen handful collections that can be said "complete".

Pleikki you have too many items! Save some for the rest of us mere mortals.

But really great stuff.

I have no idea who has the greatest collections - I don't have a list of what everyone has. There are some really phenomenal collections that have been posted here by many of whom I'm lucky to call friends. Everyone has their own preferences. Even using the same criterion to gauge people would come up with different people to fill the slots. And there are some collections that aren't even posted here that I'm sure are pretty amazing too.

Great stuff guys!

Very true Surge, well said.

Stu..........don't be so lazy!!!!

But yes, my #1 fave active collection(and collector) is Kabong. I even have fanboy hammers.



He was my inspiration & I blame him for making me a GW collection addict, and for my love of hammers!

Please Kabong if you read this, can you post your hammer collection one last time? "crosses fingers & toes"

Kromp and Kabong hands down has the best unique(1 of a kind) items of almost most categories not to mention duplicates of super rare skins, they had quality and quantity.

Akh and Cap had no doubt had some of best known and sought after items the game has to offer. 30/-2st magmas, most sought after shield in the history of GW.

There are so many collectors in the past that i use to see on the forums that had some incredible items that deserve a mention but my memory gets the best of me.

Also, epic stuff pleikki, loved your dedication to collecting, its a feat to collect such a vast amount of items in this day and age.

Depends on when in time you look at it.

There was a time when Aris for example had one of the best ever( top 10 imo)--he still has like 4-5 truly unique items, though they may not be most expensive or best ever.

If you limit it to current active and currently possessed items, the list changes, moves people like Burns and Stuey into Akhs territory. Also can't ignore people like Guava, or that guy who posted q8 1450 crystal other day--but we have to because we haven't seen the full collections.

I think everyone could post their top ten and we can get a definitive list as Guru dies

But let's not forget that the correct formula for the epeen size is:
((L*D)+(W/G))/(A^2) = Length times Diameter plus Weight over Girth divided by Angle of the tip squared

(oh.. and I'm not gonna vote. Like I said earlier I think every collection is different & special in it's own way - so nothing to compare)
