Exactly! I agree 100% there I think some items are underpriced to be honest its what happens when you leave the ecomny to unexperianced sellers. I mean come on Sunedering upgrade for axe 19% I saw go for 9k 20% one goes for 60-70k last time I checked.

any low level character can get a perfect weapon for a pitence green items used to be worth a bomb when i started playing now you can get focus's wands and other weapons for -10k

I've allways wanted Arena net to take controll of the ecomny and make merchants sell items for a reasonable price, like have an NPC that act like a armor in factions but with weapons so the really crud looking swords at least are worth something not like a 15% -5 energy sword with +30hp mod and 20% sundering but is a shortsword be worth 10k or even less its just plain stupid if you ask me.

Every MMORPG that wants to maintain living economy needs rare chase-items for people to pursue. Otherwise, easily obtained end game gear = instant gratification = no real sense of accomplishment. This is also why characters are stored server-side: to maintain the integrity of the economy without local hacks/cheats giving 1mil gold per key-click to would-be cheaters.

Personally, I'd love to be able to buy every item I could at an NPC. Farming (for Gold that is, experience is something different) has always been boring, but I still want to look great, just like people prefer good looking clothes over bad looking clothes. So I did farm to get enough to buy myself some nice armor and rare skinned items, but if it was possible to buy it from an NPC, that would save so much time for the characters I'm going to create in the future.
The reason that I don't feel like farming is that Guild Wars is a weird game. Of course, it has RPG aspects, but it really isn't much of an RPG. You can choose to get that 15K armor, but it really won't get you much further. If you play Guild Wars just because you feel like playing a great RPG, maybe you have the wrong game, as I stopped playing this as a RPG a long time ago, but I still love it!
