+40% axe better than HoD?
pbspectre
just cut my losses and sold cheap...*sigh*...now i remember why i try not to get caught up in these crazes...

i'm glad because i would like a nice 20% enchantments for my axe warrior without having to pay close to 200k for it, i guess just wait for the market to settle a bit.
I do however feel for all the people that will try to salvage a grip before realising that because it is a quest item you can't salvage it.

I bought 20% grips 50k each and sold modded axe for 40 ectos yesterday. Today it is probably impossible to sell.

I'll lose about 50k that I spent on axes (no grips), but it'll be covered much more by HoD swords not dropping in value.
NowTumi
nice,I can afford Axe grips again
SirJackassIII
Meh, wasted 10k buying an unmodded axe, just in case they decided to not being able to aply 2 of the same kind, but I would still be able to put on a +30HP and a +20% mod 
.
Probably wasted more money buying crappy upgrades to see if anything else does the same. The answer: nope.
Good thing really, seen them being used in PvP a bit and heard of worse things there as well, so good ridance.

Glad to know for sure that it's being nerfed. Happy it was around for a bit though - I made about 250k off of combined axes and the lone grips. Muahahaha LA dis 1.
Lord Mendes
im off to get the nolani collectors wand.
lyra_song
So what happens to those of us who have the axe, but its unmodded?
chippxero
I made 5k in total yay me. of course i still have 2 axes that will change sometime when they delete/modify the template but they were quest rewards from recent characters i have made so it's no biggie.
nolani collectors wand ro><or

Yup. Just sold off my 39% for 100k + sigil. That's pretty cheap considering sigils are only about ~25k at the trader. BUT, I only had 65k in the grips (bought before they soared to over 100k), so I came out with a nice 60k-ish profit. I do happen to know the guy I sold it to is in a top guild.

I am keeping my axes till after they nerf them from the quest .. then just like th eHoD items it will start to be priceless .. i may sell one for 100K+50ecto :P or maybe more ... thats the C/O LoooL
super dooper
good thing i spent 6k total to test-mod mine to see if it worked :P keeping upgrades saves the day!
oh well, was fun while it lasted.

I heard some people complaining about some in PVP with non-stop spellbreakers going. They could have been exaggerating but I'm sure it was incredibly annoying. That alone is reason enough for anet to kill ALL the axes. I mean, the alternative would be to go through every enchantment skill in the game and nerf them to balance with the axe..... option 1 sounds much easier From Gaile's statement, they'll probably disable all the axes so 1 of the grips will just go *poof*. Now all you got is a low damage axe with a single +enchant grip that's worth maybe 1/1000th of what it was over the weekend. I wonder what the next fad will be.... grips of PRUNING!!!!!!

ALL the axes will be fixed according to that post yes. Gotta laugh at the saps who spent large sums of time and money getting these. I doubt Anet cares about people who are so willing to take advantage of an exploit.

I <3 Anet.

great work anet on this...come on people did you SERIOUSLY think this axe was going to be permanent?...its exploiting a glitch, this is nothing like the HoD sword, that was not a glitched item. Anet obviously isnt going to allow a bugged item that is this overpowered to stay in the game...as they shouldnt. Im trying to warn people in game about the nerf and am getting sooo many hate whispers of people telling me im lying about it, and that im a moron for saying they are fixing it. Everyone that is flaming me for it is just mad they lost so much money on buying one..or is mad because its hurting their sales because they know its getting removed and wants to scam it off to some uninformed person...well thats wrong.

Will this fix also cover the hammer form of the bug?

), and because it replaced the Fortitude part first, I didn't think it would work.Strange that it does, seeing as I did the same on another hammer and it replaced in the same way, yet didn't become dual modded.
Well, my guess is they'll probably fix that too though. Besides, the hammer is far less usefull than the axe, because they'r unable to equip a focus item with it.
zerulus
so im guessing they are removing all those doulbe modded hp ones that people were buying as well?

I just got heard 46 variations of "zOMG noob u lie!" while warning people not to buy the axe everytime I saw "WTS 40% enchant axe!" Theres gonna be a LOT of pretty pissed off people come the update, but that hey, its no ones fault but your own. I tried warning people the other day that it will be nerfed, and no one would listen andall i got was hate whispers, so it is with great satisfaction that I say:
"I TOLD YOU SO"

Well this sucks.
I didn't find out about this until I had bought like 5 of them.
Now I'm down about 40-50k and I can't sell them because everywhere I got some idiot yells at me to tell me I'm stupid.
Either that or someone asks what SoA means.
GRRRR
[edit] - And it's not 'no one's fault but our own'
I know I for one would rather have gold than not, and when I see a chance to make it, I hop on it.
All because Anet messed up and made a glitched item shouldn't mean we all should have to suffer for it.
I'm kinda upset about losing tons of gold. I don't really care that it wont work anymore, I just dont like suffering just because I didn't check ''omg guildwars guru'' like everyone else does instantly.
*sigh*

40% last longer hammer isn't so good because you can't use artifacts or any off-hand items. Losing +12 energy and few other mods is pretty bad.
Xunlai Master
u can make 40% enchant axe by puting 2x 20% enchanting on..
but how do u make 60hp axe???? i put 30hp n made 55hp axe, then i put another 30hp on 55hp axe n got 30hp axe..

Oustanding decision by Anet. +1

"It's going to get deleted?! I've just spend nearly all my money on them.. I have 36 40% Axes now..", yep.. I just got message like this one, pretty painful.
And Xunlai, don't make it, unless you really feel like spending 200K for an axe you can use less then a day.

Maybe it's a stupid question, but are you sure that enchantements are increased by +40% instead of +20 % ? Because maybe it's like the runes : you can add 2 sup runes, but your skill is only increased by 3 and not by 6.

(It's not the one directly outside frontier, u have to explore a little bit)
But anyway, having a double grip Hammer is sort of pointless. It's two handed so that rules it out as a farming tool and it's not max dmg so no warrior would use this as their weapon.
