Mystery in Augury Int. 1

You know, the thing that gets me is why have a bot say anything at all, 'cause, you know, doesn't that tell everyone you'e a bot when you spout inane dribble?

Just wondering do they sell stuff much cheaper than the normal price in American districts since they play a lot and have lots of loot?

Yes, their goal is to sell cheap and quick at probably 50-75% what a regular player would charge since they probably have so many items in stock.

However on the other hand, some players are angry that they can't sell their items for as much since the farmers / botters undercut them.

*southern accent* They took are jobs!

I like them, making american consumers quite happy.

They're pissing off American farmers though, can't keep up in the price wars.

Nice,next time I'll go inter to buy stuff from them

Something like that happened to me. Some guy was asking for a -50hp Icon (though this was in European LA 1) and when I declined his offer of 2k, he started spamming something similar to that. Saw the same kind of thing in Augury, some guy asking for -150hp Icons (yes, -150), then spamming something I couldn't understand. I thought I was having a curse placed on me or something.

Maybe......it's Guildwars black market?

the aoe update was to stop this stupid ass bots...though now we cant farm as well
dont think theres any illegal items in guild wars =D

AFA I've seen their prices are 200 - 500% those you'll get in Lions Arch district 1. I'd never pay what these guys demand for an unid'd. 10K for an unid'd sword? Ha!

And the AoE updated was an AI update - it wasn't aimed at farming, BUT tactics which relied on exploiting weaknesses in the AI no longer work. It's just sad that so many players apparently are unable to come up with a single viable tactic that isn't 100% based on exploiting weak AI.
And yeah, i was farming yesterday. Got me a nice green hammer.

I see at least 1 familiar name in that screenshot.. I was in UW with one of those monks. he was a 55hp monk. actually we were planning to go to FoW but when that monk joined our team he paid the entrance to UW... didnt even get a chance to say that we are going to FoW

I never buy anything unid'ed, I was referring to mod pricing. You will often see them selling perfect mods for around 30-50k which is on the lower end of the scale.

Really? People pay 30-50k for an upgrade? Wow, people are dumber than even I thought.

That's really an opinion. I only have 90k on all of my chars so its a decent amount but for a perfect mod yeah its not bad. In the beggining of the game runes went for 15k around for a sup. and well a 29 health mod went for 120k. Don't even know how people had that much money 2 weeks after it came out.

I was referring to perfect mods, have you ever bought one? That's with reduced pricing from greens as well. If you refer to the weapon mods baseline pricing thread, perfect mods used to range from 50-70k each.

No, but I've found several.
If people pay 30K for a +30 health or or +15% >50 mod, when a +28 health, or +14% >50 can be had in Lions Arch for 1-5K, and a green item (which has 2 perfect upgrades) can be had for 5-10K, then they're either dumb or have way too much money.
It's not like the difference between 'perfect' and 'good' is even noticeable in PvE, and if they're going to do PvP (where it isn't noticeable either, but it's easier to kid oneself that it is), why don't they use PvP weapons?

But, sure, it's their money, they can waste it any way they want. Maybe I should try selling a couple of my upgrades.

Bolded the highlights. I don't even need to say anything, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Or instead of being a jerk about it, you could actually discuss it.

whats there to discuss?

Sorry, I thought it was too obvious that I didn't need to say anything.

1) 15>50 isn't a mod you can salvage or buy

2) Greens range from 1k to 170k, but any worthwhile green is on the upper end of the scale. Saying you can buy a green with two perfect mods for 5-10k is redundant. It's like saying I can buy a blue with two perfect mods for 1k. Greens do not compete with golds in the area of flexibility.

3) Of course there's no playable difference between +28hp and +30hp, but +30hp is for collectors hence the hefty price tag.

Numa Pompilius either:
A) Is on the Europe realm.

B) Doesn't trade.

C) Both.

I don't play PvP, therefore you don't hear me spouting off nonsense about why some builds should or should not work.
