Time to let us sell our mausoleum triples on guru?

Hey,

Wasn't sure where to put this, so I figured right here. I know this has been brought up in the past, but it has been Over 5 months and we still can't sell these on guru... It's pretty obvious they won't be nerfed and Anet never had a big fix. So can we start selling them on guru? Please?

Love,
Buzan

I am not qualified to answer this question.

But these "triples" could, at a future date, be designated contraband and removed by the devs. If you use guru to sell them, you would be (in a sense of the word) scamming your buyers. Even if you warned the buyer, you would still be (technically) trafficking contraband on the forums. I don't expect the forum devs to approve of such a thing.

For the safety of guru forums and its members, I would expect them to leave this restriction in place.

Think of it this way:
Down the block from my apartment is a store that sells "indoor garden supplies". Hydroponics and grow-lights. Basically, stuff for people who grow weed indoors. Just inside the door is a BIG sign that says, basically "We don't care if you can grow weed legally on a waiver, we don't want to know about it, and will ask you to leave if you start talking about it." Now, some guy talking about growing weed in his basement probably won't make the shop lose their license and pay fines... but the shop owner isn't going to take that risk. So he makes an "absolutely not" policy and enforces it, to cover his own butt.

In a like manner, even though you think it's no big deal, the people running this "store" aren't going to risk getting shut down to accomodate you. Their store is more important than you making a couple ecto.

What is a "Mausoleum Triple"?

weapons with 3 mods instead of 2.
some bug back allowed it to happen.
it was removed, but the weapons werent.

anet said they would fix the weapons, never did.

just for kicks - what would you speculate the value to be if it would be allowed to sell them?

"Buy this glitched item, don't worry, ANet probably won't ban you or delete it. 250 ecto, please." is not a great sales pitch.

How exactly do 3 mods work? I mean, they're supposed to have one prefix and one suffix, how does the 3rd work?

But anyway, I don't see what's stopping people from trading them in Kamadan.

And, has ANet ever went and took out items that don't hurt the gameplay in any way? Especially after they were traded at least once?

+30 health
-2 damage in a stance
-5 damage (20%)

I'm sure that they're sold in kamadan and maybe by private message, but the author of this thread wants guru to allow us to trade them openly on the forums, and trading glitched items is against guru's rules.

Sorry for posting so much, lol, boring day at work.

this *has* been going on long enough, it's time to know one way or the other what their fate is.

and........*cough* carebear av guy........contraband? lol.

Precisely. I want the forum to be open to the sale of these. The forum allows the Oldschool spears/scythes which could be removed too. It's not tricking... People want to buy these and with the guru forums open to them, people like me won't have to sit all day on kammadon doing absolutely nothing...

I doubt Anet will implement any nerf to remove the triple modded weapons. Imagine a player, who don't frequent outside sources(wiki/guru,etc) to learn about bug/glitches and think that the triple modded equips are ultra rare,part of the game and has no idea it is bug, and who basically pay their entire assets to buy one such weapon

Lets just say he/she will be extremely pissed to the point of raging quitting the game on Anet ineptness if ever such item were to be nerfed/removed, and I doubt Anet will want something like that to happen

I say its time that the Guru mod accept that such triple modded weapons are part of the game and allow it to be trade on the forum

Also, I think Ghull Ka analogy, while creative, just doesn't apply to a game, the analogy refers to real life situation where you can get jailed for something simple as breaking local known laws in growing contraband, whereas the tripple modded weapons are no way breaking any rule in the game(i.e, its generated in a game environment without any outside interference)

I think that if every sales post included a notice like "This is a glitched item from the Mausoleum. A-net has previously stated that they plan to do something about these items -- possibly even delete them -- at some future date. Buy at your own risk" then I would not have a problem with people selling them on the forums.

Sorry for the slightly off subject comment, but here it is anyway. When the pre searing quests were introduced no items were supposed to drop. I however had several drop and had them in my inventory. Nerfnet removed them from my inventory with no warning. I didn't get banned or anything silly like that, because they were a legitimate drop. It was an error on their part though.

Thats not true, Shield couldnt still drop with 2x Dmg Reduction mods.. As that combo aint possible Drop in our current drop system for uninsc items

The 3 mod thing used The combos for uninsc items + The possibility to have "handle" on it

So shields possibly could have 30hp + 10ar + -2st example

or 60hex / 10ar / reduce daze

Or someting like that, For offhands 20 / 20 / 30hp Would be techically possible

But remember that the items dropped there Arent rly THAT inbalanced. As the Change for some perf mods as i just notes was so slim there probably didnt drop single of em from there. as far as i know there only dropped 1 somewhat decent 3 mod shield even. And thats Req even sucked

Also to clarify for ppl who dont know. These items are un moddable. And if the Wrap/Core/Handle whatsoever was removed u cannot mod it again with that mod..

Here example of 3 modded shield from Traders outpost

The danger with these items is that there are very few of them and, like the example above, could give someone a very small advantage in PvP.

In PvP, especially high end, any advantage like this is a no-no.

There is also the fact that there's still the possibility of these items being removed. Yes, it's been a long time, but it could still happen.

I'm not a Ventari's mod, and I'm not Jenn - she-who-must-be-obeyed - but I'd bet my bottom dollar the answer's going to be no.

Hi folks,

We received word today that the Live Team still plans on removing these weapons. Therefore, the ban on creating wts/wtb threads for these items is still in effect.

Regards,
Jenn
