not if you invest in oldschool items.

Past few weeks Kamadan has been nothing but noobs and oldschool items. Single modded shields going for 5e and decent dual mod shields being sold as if they're the holy RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing grail of shields. Zahr Dalsk is right to say parts of the economy are fuxked up because it is. Uneducated idiots trying to sell mediocre oldschool weps as if they have actual value.

Even better is that so many of these idiots don't know the first thing about what they're selling. ''Yeah man you can totally change the mods on this amber aegis'' Give me a break. People are trying to nickel and dime every sale they can to maximize profit. You got people who got absolutely raped on deals and are now trying to get back what they paid. 150e for an r8 15%ench chaos? Seems legit.

I do kinda wonder how many people there are now who've moved on from Guild Wars 1 and left behind storages full of ecto and other valuable stuff.

i know what you mean, and 150e for a chaos is abit ridiculous but some items they may seem abit ridiculous is only because of inflation, ecto inflation is as bad as african countries currency.

but there is indeed many idiots who try to sell merch food items for funny prices.

And one guy yesterday trying to inflate the price of the demons shield he was selling in the other account by spamming Wtb the same skin with the same stats as the one he was selling, but at a ridiculous price.

Buyer beware I guess.

It's sad that there won't be any new content. I hoped so much for the last part of beyond.

Observer seems fine now? At least I could watch a game yesterday after it crashed everytime I tried for a week.

Well I moved on from GW after a few years, came back just before GW2, left GW2 a few months later, came back to GW at Christmas, now I'm on a break again. I plan, one of these days, to get my FoW armor at last lol. My storage is definitely full of ecto and stuff, but it's not going to just collect dust forever.
