Anyway, do the northern shiverpeak missions and clear the area around yaks bend. The storm summit still drop as many runes as they ever have.
I find tons of runes, but have virtually no use for them, as I've already bought the minor runes I wanted from the runetrader in Ascalon and the only runes which are worth anything are superior vigor & superior absorption.

LOL yep! It's like the Cliff Notes version of Guild Wars to be rushed and to buy things with real cash instead of finding them.

You can have more than 500k in your account. i myself have 750k at one time from buying and selling. You know buy low sell high concept



And yeah one of the reason ppl buy gold from Ebay is that people are lazy to farm and figures their time is better serve playing the game and having agood weapon and armor. Just my 2 cents.

It wouldn't be so bad except in my opinion the result it screws up the economy in the long run for everyone.

The debate on whether it violates the EULA is an interesting argument, but really only affects the publishers (unless one is violating it). What the players should be more concerned about is how thier gameplay enjoyment is ultimately lessened by people wanting to progress too quickly.

hey, Marquee...are you in USA teritory or elsewhere, cause i just checked today, euro english at 6 30pm UK time and it was only 6k for black dye on monday the 18th of july....

(wonders if a trip to the USA servers to sell black would be a naughty thing to do *impish grin* heheh)


and gold on ebay.....well, i find it interesting that when, out of curiosity, i did a search and found 3 pages of peeps seling gold, but only 2 items for sale, and one was a guild...

then again, that was ebay.co.uk, not USA version....

The whole eBay thing is out of control if you ask me. A furious 10/10 sword hilt selling for $22 dollars? Yep, and there's still time left on that auction.

I'm wondering how people can sell 800k on ebay. One account can only hold 500k.
Something tells me they're not going to ban people for trading 500k, That's a really dumb statement.
