Just wait all those sup vigors and sup absorbs and the server will reroll.

I will laugh if they just roll back all events that have been logged in the last... oh thirty minutes. Good bye everything you bought... and the money you wasted.


By the way this = exploit, so don't brag about it.

You know if they rollback, they rollback everything, the exp you gained, the gold you've spent, and everything come back... So if we loose our rune, we will get back our gold.

Same as last time, people went nuts buying, although that time the traders ran out of inventory a lot faster, and this time prices never increased.

This time It went on forever. Couldn't believe it as I clicked on ruby after ruby.

Thing is I am actually going to use them (as long as they are required) since I don't like any of the FOW armor I never got it. SO I am hoping to get some nice armors in the new edition.

I also bought 8 Superior Vig runes 2 for each class I have, simply because I am going to use them up. I bypassed the Absorb since I do not have a warrior so I have no use for it.

Since I already had 1million+ in plat all I did was spend basically what I had on toons, and didn't even touch the money in my storage.

So I am not sure if the "noobs" wil be the new bnouveau riche of the game. The whole economy of the game is screwed. Basically there are plenty of farming spots where a guy can, after 7-8 hours of game play have a half million EASILLY in plats. That is simpy by picking up everything that is dropped and either salvaging it or selling it outright to merchant. There are also some maps with material trader who will also buy stuff from you, so you can fill up and mule yourself to them over and over again if you run out of space.

The thing is I logged off and now can't get back on. But I couldn't go anywhere anyway so no biggy I guess.

They did an actual trader reset back in June/July and people grabbed up ectos and runes then. Question is... is this another purposeful trader reset? Last time it was at some bizarre hour of the morning (in the U.S.) if I remember correctly (I was not on to take advantage of the reset).

I think, at this point, it's pretty obvious it was some sort of mistake (being that they have the game on lockdown or what-not now)...

Will be interesting to see how they fix it.

Nothing is going to be worth anything anymore with the flood in shards, FoW armor will drop to about 300k-400k

They should "fix" it by doing it twice a week, allowing unlimited buying for 24 hour periods. Simple as that. Bring on the caravans!

Not sure it was ever intended to get as expensive as it did. SO habving it "drop" isn't a bad thing IMO. They all look like Shit anyways, so not worth anything more than any other armor.

Also with the new update coming out who wants the old armor anyways? Hopefuly the new stuff has a nice look, and isn't just the same old trash, then there will be nothing to spend money on. It will be like Diablo all over again where gold itself has no value and people will be trading in runes or upgrades.

I doubt this was on purpose other wise the game would not have lockdown. As to who ever corrected me, you are right the money that was spent will come back.

~ Also unless this turns out to have been on purpose whining about an exploit is not being angry at something we supposedly missed (I was in the game at the time) but at something we see as detrimental to the game. This will, in not rolled back, destroy the value of FOW.

theres talk about GW getting hacked or the server had a bad crash. I had spent nearly 200k on runes and shards, they both were at 250gp. rubies and saphs werer at 250 to 500gp got some of them also. Hopoe we keep it all. But now theres talk about a rollback on the server. If so we dont get to keep anything

What you are saying is that actually every minute ALL states of ALL GWplayers are backuped somewhere ?

I'd like to be the one that sells Anet their storing space... big bucks.

You offcourse realize this would mean a multiTerabyte storage to get states of say 1 day of all GWplayers maybe.....

i am curious though what Anet's response will be

lol and that quote good bye to all the money you wasted that is a real stupid thing to say. If it was to be rolled back which really aint possible cause in that time people could have got drops worth millions and it will be rolled back sure. If it was rolled back everyone would get there cash back anyway so wtf is that quote about.

Dont need to backup every minutes like that, but a backup right before an update hits live servers is very likely. imo

i thinks its a lockdown untill they solve the price crash.....i get back from school and get on forums to see what the err 13 is and find out that verythin is 250 gold and i cant log on. i wonder how this ones gonna get solved....maybe a rollback to like 4 hours ago? kinda like system restore on a PC, except its on the game account servers.

Server rollbacks are not unheard of....But usually not HUGE games like GW.

I would feel REALLY bad for people who are in the middle of a hard mission...and next day find themselves to not have finished the mission.

Actually, I think the economy will be ruined if we can keep what we bought. But I want those absorb runes I bought. >

Locked out again... it's like a parade of error codes. I started with 13, got booted out of the game with a code 40, now can't get back in with a code 72. I feel like a police dispatcher. Also, apparently something was going on with the armor guys too, apparently the sentinel's armor showed up for trade, along with some other weird stuff.

I care you dipshit.
While I've been farming hard for the past 2 months some people here just logged in and in 45 minutes picked up 3 times worth what I've farmed under those 2 months. I wasted my time.
It's an exploit, it isn't fair, and if they don't reroll I'm gonna boycott.

it is not hard to mirror the server at all times and take incremental updates spaced out over a 30 minute window...maybe an hour...they can simply roll back the servers a few and boom...back to normal...
