The Gold Supremacy!

I give it a few minutes before a mod kill of this thread and start banning people

IN CASE ANYONE MISSED IT I WILL PUT THE ENTIRE QUTE HERE FOR YOU TO SEE.


"My first character w/c is an Elementalist, wielded a collectors item with +26Hp. But after playing hours after hours....going to LA to buy and sell...haggling with some people...ripping off the noobs....farming back then in riverside...I got rich!"





so now you are rich. you got rich how?

by ripping off newbies. you whould be proud of your self.

Green items already come with both upgrade components, and said components can't be replaced.

Thank you!
''About Golds and greens.''
I know that some greens are actually unique items that have their own name and appearence.

People will want green more just for the fact that the *are* green. And greens are just rarer than gold. I could say that Purples are as good as gold. I could make the exact same gold weapon in purple or in white.

But it's what people *WANT* not need that makes green items worth much more.

I'm of the opinion that: You buy what you need, not necessarilly what you want. But if people want to spend their money on these green items. There's nothing you or I can do to stop them.

They all have something called: free will

unfortunately Green items can't be upgraded.

I bet someone here can beat the OP in Guild Wars one on one

Yeah, sorry, I got confused with the two +30 health modifiers on green items, for example. Could have been the green item's +30 health modifier, and a perfect fortitude mod.

Again I said that because it was MY exprience. I wasnt very happy of that myself and I WAS NOT BRAGGING! how hard is that to understand?? and for the record, i got rich mostly by farming!

Why is a-net limiting us from upgrading or customizing Green items?? Is it because the item is already consider "perfect" so that we do anything to change the mod (or remove it) from a Green Items?

I prefere to use gold items simply because I know that it was hard to find. Getting a good gold item is cool because I know they're hard to come by. I like to hunt for my items. Having powerful items isn't interesting for me; having powerful items I spent time getting is interesting. I like to work for weeks and weeks trying to get the upgrades I want, the items I want and the damage I want because I'll feel so excited once I get it.

I don't like paying ridiculously high prices for anything and I won't ever rip of a newbie. I like to farm and defeat opponents in order to be rewarded with a new item.

And even once I got the powerful items I want I'll just try and get good-looking items that are equally powerful. To me looks mean the world in RPG games. No style, no role, no RPG.

Oh how I could use that in another thread I'm participating in. As this is the root cause of those insane prices out there today.

I think the reason why anet dont want us to take upgrades from a green item is because its easy to find in SF. well thats just my idea.

The exclamations.....my God the exclamations....

dude seriously, dont start another flame. a lot of people got rich from farming. and i mean A LOT. and some of 'em still do. why? because some of 'em doenst like playing pvp,gvg ar pve anymore.

i sell all my green crap for 5K ... save dragos sudnering bow, gravelheads vamp sword, malinon sheild, and the razor. Rest is 5K cause I can go buy a collectors item for 1-2K... and mod it to meet my needs. Green items are specific to the boss you pull it off of. Hope anet lets us do the same with our own weapons ... (although drawbacks could foresee ... 'WTS ... l337 lonsword of uber pwnage 100 ecto') oh dear ... hmmm .. maybe this one needs more thought.

Make no mistake, that is not a flame or a start of one. I do not make it my business to get into flaming. The rest of that just goes to prove more as to how all this gold got into the game. Well that and botters of course.

The only reason someone has for even *telling* others they took advantage of newer players is because they are proud of having done it and want to share it with other people.
(That's what most people think when they see a post like that )

We go to these forums to give our opinions...

...but I think that some people actually look for other disgraceful comments so they can have fun putting them down.

****PLEASE****

Stop insulting each other. This is supposed to be a discussion forum. Not a children's message board.

If you can't discuss about something seriously. Both positive or negative imput about the subject without beign insulting. Don't post at all!

Instead: Send a personal message to that person.
It sometimes bothers other people reading these posts, who then feel they have to comment on them.

SO TRUE!

but eniweys, ok so far, here are some of the reasons why GOLD items shouldnt be as valuable anymore:

1. u can find a green items in SF or GF with the same stats--although u cant customize it and cannot take/add upgrades to/from it.

2. GREEN is whats in now.

can anyone add more to this?

I think your problem is that you believe gold items were appropriately priced before the GF & SF Update..they never should have been as valuable as they became in the first place.
