That's horrible- don't take advantage of people just 'cause they're not "in the loop" as you

Maybe I need the Noobstaff... I don't get the "oneeleven111!!!shiftone" - tho i see it often... can someone explain, or am I too far gone?

I agree that the greens dilute the value of the golds; and what, these type of events will happen several times a year? What happens when every possible mod combo has been produced in a green? No need to upgrade your gear anymore...

Greens should require some type of maintenance/repair (like Diablo II), or perhaps even completely expire and be ruined... say, after 1000 hits; that way they will still have value, without replacing the value of gold items; and without completely making purple items merchant food (which they just about are already), while preserving the essential UPGRADE element of the game.

Well, the "oneelven111!!!shiftone!!!" bit is making refrence to someone so excited (or angry) trying to hit shift-1 to make an exclamation point (!) and put a billion of them after whatever they happen to be shouting at the time. The logic is, that the dumber a person is, the more they want to be heard ... and the more exclamation points they want to put after their sentences

Example: "ZOMG STFU N00B!!!!!1111shiftone!!!11"

would be making fun of someone that speaks this way as common practice

Well really since they now have ectos in 2/3 most populated farming spots in the game, unless anet does something to stop it, ectos will fall to basically nothing (I mean, they already dropped 1k since last night). While rubies and sapphires can make up the difference somewhat, they're much hard to find and already more expensive than ectos, so a lot of money would be lost when trading over from ectos to them. Shards are a possiblity though, but another update could always change the status of any trader item.

You can store money in items but that isn't much good either if you have to sell an item everytime you buy something. Plus you'll have to include money and items when trading for the really great items anyways, since all of the money storage can hold would not be enough to buy them. And no one is going to want or need a few imperfect items for the 15^50 crystalline or whatever they find, so basic items trades won't work on those either.

A storage char full of superior absorbs might not be a bad idea, but if/when that drops its going to be the same thing all over again, but at least that one should take a little while to fall. With most people I know are around 400-500k + items now, so other than the new people that the expansion brings in, will there really be much of a difference in the rich and the poor before long?

Basically the point is you can't say the econonmy isn't crashing from the point of view of the players who have 1000k and tons of ectos. If everyone made money in a valid way (not buying or selling, chest farming or builds like the invici monk), items would probably never go for over 100k in the first place. Given Anet's feelings about large sums of money, and the fact that they limited trades to 100k in the first place, it makes me wonder if they intended for the econonmy to crash a bit:

I am thinking Gaile might have just meant that the changes to tombs are permanent... as in, that it will be left in ruins. I am not so sure that this storyline event will continue that makes it farmable... =\

It just feels like we are reading too much into a fairly vague statement by her.

Well.. It wouldn't be fair if there only was a sword or something like that. But if they make a sword, an axe, and a hammer; they should also make a staff for every attribute.
So you don have a point, but there shouldn't be any items deleted.

About Warriors getting 4 items, instead of 2. Well, there are 2 times as much Warriors as any other class, it would be fair if casters would get a staff for each attribute though.

question:i was under the impression that the new bosses droped something for every 1 in team and was happy that they had made it a bit more fair.but after hours of hard graft with a trap/heal team i got sod all which as you can imagine is a little disheartening.but worse still not only was i the only person to get nothing,other than a clean not max cane,but 1 member got the shield and axe 2 of the most expensive items in the game.now thats what i call fair way to go a.net thx very much.

now i gonna go get the rope rdy incase it happens on the next run.

same thing happened to me. in a group of seven, the three bosses dropped 8 greens. i think the distribution was something like 3 for the leader, 2 for another, and one each for 3 other ppl. me and one of the monks got nothing, lol. he was pretty pissed, and i guess i was disappointed but i new i wouldn't get anything because my terrible luck with drops is legendary among my friends. i was just happy that i was able to finish a new pve area, which is the attitude that most ppl who get nothing the first time around should adopt if they don't want to stay pissed off all day long. better luck next time.

theres more warrior weapons for the simple fact that caster weapons you can get perfect at any high end collector and warriors miss out alot, and there are twice as many wammos around

Most of the caster items in this new batch of greens are, in my humble opinion, far less effective than the Sorrow's items. The exception would be the Mesmer staff, because Mesmers often mix their skill set between attributes. As far as the other staves... I would prefer 20/20 anything over 10/10 all. For example, if you're running Curses/Death/Fire/Water/Earth/Air/Heal/Prot/Smite, that's ALL you're doing. And the offhands are just a total joke. The Shadestone>>>>>Kole's Gauntlet.

Oh, and what's the deal with the only Ele stuff being Earth magic? Nothing against Earth, but... that seems like a strage one to pick.

Yeah. I just did a run and we came out with about 8 items in a six man team. I was pissed as hell that I A. Didn't get the sword I wanted, and B. Didn't get any green for that matter.

It could be because I've found that alot of the time pyromancers will use almost only fire skills, same with Water and Air.

Alot of people playing as Earth though I've seen using other skills, like only the wards in earth etc, combined with some monk skills. In these cases 10/10 is probably better than 20/20 in Earth.

I was fortunate enough to land in a PUG led by experienced players last nite. Spent 3 hours, and we beat the "mission." The green items are only dropped when you kill off all 3 (or was it 4?) lvl 30 mesmer bosses called "The Darkness." There's also a Terrorweb Spider w/ that grp.

The reason you cannot use 55 hp solo monk in the tombs uw is Scythe Chaos, lvl 26 dom-based mesmers that shatter your enchantments ASAP. You encounter them right at the beginning along w/ warrior type mobs ("__ Grasps") that pop up from the ground and roam/patrol.
