Wow.
Obsidian Shards - 250
Ectoplasm -1k
Superior Vigor -6k
The traders went crazy. I've never seen a bigger rush of people from storage to trader to storage to trader, etc, in my life. Insane.
OMG The Prices!

It's crazy. I think there was a big reset of prices. Prices dived like mad for everything. I took the chance to store some blacks for a rainy day. Wouldn't even cry if they never sold above 6 plat (price I got them at) again.
Though Sup Vig is up to 45 plat, and I'm sure has raised since I last looked 2 mins ago.

That was insane. People get rich by doing nothing.
330g ecto
250 g shard
And I was selling my ecto for 15k for trader at america while suddenly buy price dropped to 330g
Ridiculous.

Woot! Got all my runes for cheap. Someone was complaining about the prices being 'fixed' though, so we'll see how long it lasts.

I just bought 6 superior monk runes for 20k...
Thanks for the post!
Yah, now I can solo UW and then make back 70k when the prices spike!

And the rich get richer...
Sagius Truthbarron
It's funny, I was standing in LA Dis 14 watching everyone run back and forth to the rune trader and then to their storage. Mad dashes, it was crazy
Ultimate_Gaara
this is nice, but its only a matter of time before people start complaining about prices and stuff like "omg that guy got ecto for 1k, why do i have to pay 15k?"...
Xonic
and then they find out the prices get reset to even lower tomorrow, and everyday from now on for a month, haa
YellowMarker161
I bought 100 ectos, 50 shards, 5 full sets of monk runes, and 40 vigors.
The vigors are already up to 40k =D
I'm going to be rich if prices go back up. If not, I only lost 100k lol

The rich get richer? BAH! Now I can actually afford my runes.
Evan montegarde
I got 41 ectos at 1.8k per, so I'm happy.
st3v3n
it was an economy update. they merged all territories traders. like korea has the same price for everything now, same with europe.
Luna Thirteen

Update – Thursday, August 11 * Improved traders so that they maintain more stable prices and closer spreads between buy and sell prices. * Improved traders so that traders from all regions (America, Europe, and Korea) now buy and sell from the same stock and charge the same prices. |

Heh, just my luck: the first time in a few weeks I decide not to spend all the night after work playing GW, and that's the day when the prices dive. I should have made a prediction last night or something, since I knew I'd be cooling down today.
I just hope some of my friends were playing when it happened and can slip me a few cheap runes...

they are sucking up the gold that was farmed before nerfs. after the reset and alot of gold is sucked up prices will stay lower. since people are on a buying frenzy there will be plenty of a supply for players to buy from each other at fair prices.
BrandonIT
I wouldn't say the rich get richer, except that I only have about 6k to my name, and I can finally get the Superiors I need for my Ranger, Mesmer, and Swordsman builds. (and a couple of major vigors to boot)
Supervixen
My guildies made me realise, now that prices through all 3 regions are normalised, why not add traders to the International Districts too? Wouldn't make a difference anymore right?
Zakarr
Nice, there goes one of my gold sources. Merging trader prices. Used to buy ecto 12k each at america and sell it for 15-16k in europe for traders.

Come on people, share the wealth.

DAM IT! i needed that stuff and i cant play now 
Hyaon
and what of those who spent hours to gain what others at that moment took a few seconds to get?
raven214
Was that a server-side update? I was in-game the whole time and didn't get a message about a new build.
Either way..... bliss!
And now I'm out of cash, but I'm not complaining.

probably didn't need to update client for this update; all server side update.

anet just updated traders for a bit all runes were 100g so i bought 10 sup vigors and 10 sup absorbtions. all i have to do is wait for prices to return to normal and im set for life.
SJG
I'm fairly sure they changed the drop rates as well. I just got two gold drops in half an hour.
warhead56k
Good luck. I sold mine before evryone notcied im officaly loaded. I wonder wjhat happend though. Oh yeah, the price will be set at 45, it wont go any higher :/.
Supervixen
Not sure about others, but I blew 180 plat in short order. I'm guessing others are also spending madly, it's a buyers' market right now.
As for who's turning a profit, no one yet, not in terms of plat anyway. But yes, people who previously couldn't afford some things can now take advantage of the lower prices to get them. So I guess the poor are profiting from this. Unless you mean the poor sod who's trying to sell his black dye for 25 plat after hearing stories of how black is so treasured post-searing.

i got to the trader just a little late :S i bought 45 ecto and 44 shards... anyone want to donate 1 shard to me? [the price litterally skyrocketed on the last shard o.o]
warhead56k
Heehee, I brought 10 supperior vigors and sold them before anyone notcied. Funny too, I was at draknors forge's arena and I notcied a rune trader there. I didnt notice him before so i decided to buy something, and lo and behold the prices were so cheap. I thought it wa only that one so I brought 10 surperiro vigors and sold them 50k each. Im loaded for life.
Too bad I didnt go for the ectoplasim or dyes. Black dyes are 7k!

Got runes, dyes and rare materials, since I'm not quite rich enough to mass buy ectos (they're back at regular prices anyway). Just at the moment I needed a truck of fur squares they go water cheap. My Ranger was always unlucky, now he was at the right time and at the right place for once
