I'm not sure if it's the -50 item or just the whole setup combined, but there is an imbalance. My first character was an Ele, and, although there were some areas that I could solo in the later parts of the game (mostly using a geomancer setup), none of them were places that an ele exclusively could solo, and I definitely wasn't welcome on any kind of a team except FoW for farming (I consider FoW, UW, SF, and the Tombs to be the prime farming locations).
Of course, now I have a level 20 necro...once I get him fully equipped with all of the elite caps, this won't be my problem anymore. But I do feel your pain, and no, it isn't really fair.

And Monk runes have been dropping, if they want to lower the cost they can also incerase the drop rate. Ecto/Shards would go up in price considering how the balk of the farming are 2 man teams (SS/55monk/fire ele).
Just to point out, I can duo UW with an ele. I'm a ranger. We can clear out all the aatxes, smites, and graspings. Granted its not everything in the UW, but without a monk that could be hard. Anyways point I'm getting at is we do not exploit anything, aoe's work as they should, our life is normal, etc. Fact is though we are able to duo it, just as 55'er and SS can. Just pointing out that we (me and my friend the ele) don't like 55's just as you don't, but we managed to find a way to farm the area and reap the same rewards of a 55'er. I can solo Perdition rock and the Gryffons as a Ranger. It may be a little bit slower than a 55 monk, but point is there are other ways and nerfing the 55 monk isn't going to solve the problem of inflated markets.

Why don't you just ruin the game for everyone and have Anet remove all negative enhancing items just to make you happy.
-50, -20 offhand.
superior runes.
Maybe YOU should be removed from the game to prevent spoiling my fun.

Unless you are extremely lucky and got good drops. My luck is crap and I never get any good drops so to get the armor (and I only have it on my mesmer+the warrior helm) I farmed my ass off.
So my point behind my post was, you had to farm to get the ecto for that armor. Even if you did not use 55.
People use different builds for farming, its just that 55 is the easiest and more common one since anyone that knows how to search can get a build.

Edit: Furthermore, the suggestion to remove the -50hp cesta is asinine all together, as it will not effect low-health farming builds one bit. It would only add a death or two to the process of lowering one’s health. Same thing with doubling of superior runes. Then what? You have to remove the -20hp offhands, which people actually use to play the game normally with, or start buffing monk skills which would cut into normal PvE and PvP play. Great suggestion!
So, in summation, stop crying and THINK before you start whining for things to be removed.

Quite frankly, I think you have no place in saying what should be removed to affect balance. The 55 build is not TEH ULTIMATE HAX BUILD OF LMAO GODLINESS!!1!1, its simply handy in certain areas, nerfing this would be cruel and most probably not solve many problems.

original post: /NOT SIGNED not one valid point in the post.
Is there anything in this post that is anywhere near the truth?
Absorpiton runes have halved in price, not gone up.
Monk runes are not really very expensive, I am pretty sure they have dropped in price also.
The -50 focus can be had for free if you have an open slot or can be bought for around 4 or 5K.
Ecto is really cheap now compared to when it was at 12K or higher, saw someone selling it for 5.5K in LA today.
No need to go any further with this post.
IMO this is yet another thread that was started because someone is either too lazy to work for their money or is jealous because some of us have alot more free time to play the game. There is not one single item in the game that is required to win. All those high priced crystallines don't make you invincable, they just make you look better when you are laying on the ground after I kill you with my plain old longsword!

I a, totally with you on this one DarkGanni, the -50 hp focus should be sent the same way as HoD weapons. Its an exploit, and no better. Why does it affect me how other people play this game? well, quite simple really. We are all part of the same economy. What some 55hp monk does all day to get materials offsets the economy in my deficit. Essentially i am unable to farm the large amounts that others do, and as a result i suffer from inflation. Look what the popularity of drok runs did to warrior absorbtion runes. The Wammos are prepared to spend more, so the price is inflated, and warriors who play for the team work aspect cant get their hands on the runes. its the same for 55hp monks. Monk sup runes are extortionately highly priced compared to others due to 55hp monks. Ectos and Shards are also gravely affected by this inflation. For 55ers getting ectos and shards is so much easier than it is for other proffesions. Essentially i see 55ers as a balance problem. Why is it allowed that such a build exists which can solo the most lucrative farming areas? doesnt that seem mad? On the other hand proffesions such as mesmer cant nearly perform as well in PvE. What we get is a split, and often i hear that mesmers are useless pve chars, and only good for pvp. They are meant to be good in both areas. What if one proffesion, say necromancer, was the only proffesion worth using in pvp? woudnt that be considered a flaw. The only build worth using to solo such areas is 55ers. I cant see a problem in changing it. All you 55ers will probably say that its a source of money for many, and without it much of the items are simply overpriced. all i say to them is that these items are so pricey becuase ppl use 55ers as an easy way to make cash quick. Without this build in use the price of items would soon drop as the money coming in goes down. Its basic supply and demand. The result would be a fair ecomony to all proffesions. Dont even try to argue this logic, its based on real models, on real theorys, on which economys such as GWs are based. Like i said before, its supply and demand at its most basic. Fix it ANET! |

Umm... Monk Runes weren't lowered by 55 farming, it was the excessive Ettin farming that dropped the prices, and if I'm not mistaken that was done mostly with Wammos and Live Vicariously + Cyclone Axe.
Edit: Oh nevermind, I see you were talking about them going up. Actually, I highly doubt that... since Monks generally don't have to worry about their health (as much) for PvE they can stock up on 1-2 sup runes no matter what, where as some of the other classes might have to be more wary. Plus, Monks are bound to be one of the most popular classes since you KNOW it is basically needed for the game. If anything, 55 monks and solo farming has lowered prices... maybe not on monk runes, but the more farming that happens the lower it will get.

My point was that someone was crying about prices on things going up when they were actually going down.
@ Ardor, Glad to see you could bring something constructive to the conversation here.
