Man - I didn't even know this was going on yesterday, because I was using my Level 9 Ranger in Ascalon - no expensive items there. If I was using my other Char I might have gotten some of these items, but luckily this did not affect me at all
I stopped playing pretty much right where the rollback took place.

The bottom line is that Anet did the right thing overall. The game economy is balanced at the moment, if I was in their shoes, thats how I'd want to keep it. Sure, we all lost an hour of effort on Guild Wars, regardless of what we were doing at the time, but it was for the greater good of the PvE game.

I am sure that a few people got burned by the roll back, after completing a difficult mission or finding that really sweet drop, but Anet did the right thing with the roll back.
Sorry for those that got burned. Happy to see things restored to "normal"
Oh, yes ...... I had a s**t load of shards. I dreamt for a while

my ectos disapered!!! in the moring, after anet fixed everything (shards 250 g are gone now) my ectos were safely waiting in inventory!!! 7 h later (i came back from school) my ectos were gone!! but only ectos... nothing else was touched!!!
i wonder... is it possible that anet roll back only my char again... so my bloody earned precious ectos are at me again

Lawl, you guys blame A.net so badly. Really is sad, but would anyone care what your posts say or just flame along. Yes A.net crapped up the server and many things were lost, fame earned, a good item. What can we do? Work that fame again, is fame and rank everyone thinks about in HOH. It's all about the PVP experince, meeting people, getting to play with experinced people, I mean enjoy the tactics not the things lost.

Or may be they should stay... well for a while..
A while means that those 2 traders will appear once every full moon.. or.. well they show up randomly at place and date...

This time we did not have the luxury of that same decision.

i'm happy about the rollback coz i had only managed to buy 50 shards b4 the stock ran out. i didn't even get the chance to buy any runes and i'm happy that every1 who was stacked up on everything is just like me now. haha!
on the other hand, i'm wodering if they'll do another price reset. i know it was once done and it was ok coz ppl were new to the game and less gold was around. that meant that even 250g was a pretty high price for most players.
but now, most pve ppl have at least 200k and a price reset would do the exact same thing that happened yesterday. everything will run out of stock in less than 20 minutes. i'm really curious how Anet figure this out. i tend to think that they won't bother with a price reset again.
and anyways, the reset only benefits already rich ppl. the poor or new guy has no chance to get anything. if it does happen again i only hope i'll be there sooner to fill my storage with goodies ;p

LOL. I saved a spot in storage for my 'rollback 06' tshirt, but nothing appeared. I ordered the black and orange one too just to match my pumpkin head...

Price reset + Purchase Quota/Limits per account = Victory for All.

My quick 2 cents. Of course they had to do a roll back. What I think is funny is all of those saying if they roll back, then bye-bye GW. Or even better all the people that found a 15^50 crystalline sword. Wouldn't you know the only time those dropped en masse, is the only time A-Net has to reset the game.
EternalTempest
This was a very hard choice on anet's part but they made the right choice.
The distribution on the economy would of been very bad.
Anyone who did lose this nice drops, got TK done, I do feel sympathy for this was the lesser of two evils.

Just like the nerfs.
ANET screws up and the players suffer.
weeeee lets all praise anet for another job well done.
(ps I didn't play during the time this happened so I didn't loose anything I hope)

Why do people hate nerfs so much?
Is it complacency? Lack of will to adapt? Lack of imagination? The desire for everything to be static and stagnate?

this reminds me when prices from everything skyrocketed and black dye was at 26k. Was this basically the same issue except a little opposite?
linz85
hmm not they merged this topic my posts are totally irrelevant. bah!

i almost wish they wouldnt have rolled back and i didnt even play within the time spam of all the fun. It would have been an in game depression, would have been pretty sweet. The Great Depression of Guild Wars. Accept you dont need food 
or shelter. They shouldve let it play through like a real life event. In real life you cant have roll backs.

Do anyone think this would have caused anyone to get rich? I don't think it would have at all. Thousands of runes and shards were in the hands of people and the trader, if not reset, would have still listed the price really low. At that point people would not buy them at their old prices because everyone around would be tring to get rid of them. Have you ever tried to sell a bundle of wood for 60K?!? OMG no, lol. The supply would have been so astounding that they would be itching to get rid of them in a week and they would have lost out overall... which would have been funny if you think about it. Nah, they had to reset because it was a mistake first and formost, and second it would have just just been cheap... especially to those that worked hard for what they already had. I like to struggle for my items... I find myself bored when I have nothing else to strive for.
Now where is my rollback shirt... and on a side note... put more stuff in for me to grind for. Passes the time.
