lmao!!! 1 plat for celestial sigil!!!

lol... think how many people who were hoarding them to sell for 50 to 100 plat... lmao... 1 plats nothing. I'm flat broke and low level but I could sell my steel and iron and have a sigil tomorrow.

while on one hand having silver, red and black silks would actually be cool, it would be funny to have a stash full of colorful granite slabs

I don't think sigils are selling for 1 platinum to players. They just sell for 1 plat to the merchant. You can also still sell them to the sigil trader for a handsome sum. Don't quit your day job yet.

now that you can't dye items, I wonder if dyed silks could actually be a collectors item... that would be kind of cool. If I had known that it could be done and that after today it couldn't be done I probably would have spent all my dyes on my crafting items... They would have no real function, but they would be (probably) completely unique in the entire guildwars universe...

where are you getting this price? last i checked, sigils were maxed out at 100 platinum pieces...if they sold for 1000 gold, it would be known everywhere, it would have been a big thing, and GW would have taken action against it, most likely destroying all sigils bought within a certain time frame.

it's todays update. But as has been clarified for me, it's 1 plat if you sell a sigil to the trader

But given the markup... sigils certainly can't be above 15 plat now, and I'd still be surprised to learn that they're above 10 plat.

Not quite. Sigils only sell to the merchant for 1 platinum, much like how you can sell near perfect gold items for ~500 gold. Sigils cost 100,000 gold from the sigil trader as of right now, so they will probably sell for a lot too.

They need to lower sigils to about 20 or so k.

I've never had or seen a sigil... so please excuse my confusion at "trader" and "merchant"... didn't occur to me they'd be different.. either way, it's nice to see that the monopoly is breaking.

Sigils are currently selling for 70-80k right now. I've seen people trying to sell Superior Vigor for more.

Checked the Sigil Trader 40 minutes ago and they were going for 96k to buy off the trader... :-(

More and more, I'm glad I bought our Sigil from the Sigil Trader about half an hour or so after the last update for 65k. I haven't seen the trader offer it for less than that.

Yes although the value of people selling them to trader is 1000, it is still about 100,000 for a sigil, the fact that they have made its value 1000 has done nothing to reduce the value we have to pay to get one.

You seriously have to have a hard look or two for AN when you think, ou need a sigil for a guild hall to compete in guild related wars. The main focus of the game.

They discourage farming. For obvious reasons. And 'close' areas which are found to be easily farmed.

Yet from the start to the end of the story line you make, what roughly? 30plat? 50 at the top end of things? And they make a key item in advancing your guild, to the top stakes of the PvP part of the game almost 100k to buy from a vendor.

They seriously need to alter things as to avoid price gouging, and hoarding of these types of high end game items.

Seriously, i'd like to see how AN suggests a person affords one of these items, without farming. Get your guild all to pitch in? Good idea, except.. we dont have a guild storage function (which would be quite nice) to allow people to give to their guild.

They tripled the sigil drop rate a while back to try and make it easier to get a sigil. I'm not sure how well that's working out but it still seems demand outstrips supply. On that note however, even if a guild hall was free, how do you expect to be any good at guild verse guild combat if you aren't able to get to the hall of heroes? Also, GvG is overratted anyway. Tombs is much more fun at the moment I realize those aren't great reasons to not have a guild hall but I'm just pointing it out.
Well that means 8 people x 30k = 240k. Whoala! You have enough for a sigil with some left over. Oh wait? You were trying to buy a sigil for your one man guild? A sigil is not meant to be purchased by an individual but by a group of individuals ... a guild even.
They already made a stab at it. I imagine they will try again soon. And NOBODY is hoarding their sigils. That's a nasty rumor that the PvE people started. Well maybe like 1 or 2 people are hoarding their sigils but that isn't going to do much. I know everyone in my guild sells their sigils as fast as they get them. What good is a sigil to us? We just want gold to buy runes and weapons and stuff.
Is it really so hard to just give the gold to your guild leader who can then buy the sigil for the guild? A guild storage would be a cool idea but a lack of it shouldn't hold anyone back from amassing the gold needed for one.

Reguardless of which is more fun, everone should be capoable of trying their hands at each function the game has to offer. I myself have had sigils, not many but enough. GvG may be over rated, but that does'nt mean it is'nt the main focus of the game.

You seemed to have some how thought a person can go right from pre-searing on until ring of fire without buying anything. 30-50 plat from start to end is a decent estimate of what most people will make, and you wont find many people with an abundance of gold left over.

Quite a few people where hoarding. No on can really deny this, people where cropping up with dozens of sigils trying to sell them. Just check out guildwards unoffcial site sales part of the forum people are hoarding like ferengi from star trek.

And it does'nt. I was simply trying to pitch an idea

I really think these people were in the minority.
I don't see what there is to spend money on. Other than maybe ~10k on armor. If you go and blow all your money on 15k armor or dyes so you look pretty then I can't help you there hehe. I guess that's the sacrafice you have to make to look good in this game.
I agree ... just trying to make people feel better about not being able to GvG.

my hoh group just sold about 20 sigils and lowered the price form 93k to 83k! hurry up and buy them!

Lol well there you go, sama just proved people still hoarde.

or maybe his group stayed long enough to get 20 sigils? thats only 6-7 wins

Guild storage shouldn't happen. Think of all of the immature leechers who will steal everything from the guild vault and leave the guild. Unless only officers can withdraw from it...But it's not really necessary.
