Game update: December 20

Does that mean I can now get a 20% enchant mod for my low-damage serpent axe I was hoping to use as IW weapon without having to spend a fortune on them?

yes the message that people who exploit bugs in the game will pay a hefty price, im glad they turned them into clean axes, exploiters should not of been able to get a return on a little bit of the money they spent on the axe

I kept my 20%en crystalline, just incase. but yeah i was expecting atleast 1 mod on it.

still no mentioning of the hammer. but with the last hours i did have it; intsead of bitch'n I powerleveled my ass off. around 100K xp per hour after gali's post here...

So building a 40% axe off a bug and selling it to someone is not exploiting? Your point is moot, but thanks for the comment.

HAHAHAHA made 400k on this so I dont care. I didnt lose any money. I knew it was gunna be nerfed sooner or later, so I didnt bother wasting ne money on this.

Wow...you quoted me and you still didn't notice that I said it was an exploit.

Here, let me bold that I DID say it was an exploit.


Now that I've made you look stupid, anything else?

I'm absolutely AMAZED at the stupidity of people.

Even I got suckered into the trap of 'hoping it stays', when I created an axe with +10 armor.

Do you people REALLY think this was an intended aspect of the game? That there would be a small amount of hidden items with double upgrades allowed? Little secrets to be discovered?

Unless you're an amazing dumb ****, you KNEW this item was going to be examined by A-Net when you started on the path of acquiring and modifying it.

..and now you cry foul when the ERROR was fixed within several days of it being made known to the public?

Please avoid the gene pool.

Rule of thumb. Don't gamble unless you can afford to lose it.

Sometimes i can't help but laugh at the misfortune of others, this is one of the times...

i believe some people would call this "Wtf pwnage?"... or something like that

Good point, I was just thinking that the supply of these dropped tremendously, but I guess with the axe out, the demand has too. (where are the Holiday smilies??)

Very true. I think that ANet should find some way to compensate those who got screwed out of gold.

This is why you don't post any of your good little secrets you figure out on a forum.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the world's worst timing:

agree

Perhaps it was just an issue of incompetant people on your staff without the skills to implement such a change? I seriously doubt it is though, just another example of your apathetic approach to "improvements".

Bravo Rhuobhe !!

I wonder why your post wasnt squashed?

Anyway...thank you anet...GW is uninstalling at this very moment. I am not going to recover 200k...

Although I could sell the 20/20 Rockmolders....hhhmmmmm...nah that wouldnt be fair...what if the buyer entered a $100,000 GW tourney vs a player with a 20/10?

Why? Anyone able to afford the axe grips can easily get more gold.

She, not he. And any shrewd investor speculates the market and dumps a losing stock. I didn't have any "insider" information. I had what was publicly available knowledge. My buyer, if he chose to be well-informed, would have had access to the same information. FWIW, my buyer's guild was holding HoH earlier today, before the update. Wonder if there were any 36s spellbreakers on their ghostly hero?

Oh wow, its amazing how attached people get to their bugged items... little do they know GW actualy has a story... and quests...

Here's how I look at it, when people were buying the axes, they were gambling. You were saying, "Hey, I can buy the axe now, pay maybe 200K for it, then when it gets nerfed, I can sell it again for like 2 million." That was your choice, you would have to be foolish not to have figured out that Anet would nerf this item, so you were obviously hoping that you could take advantage of the removal of the item to make some extra caught.

Guess what? You lost your bet.

To those who are crying for compensation, please, first off, Anet has no way of knowing how much you paid for the axe, so they can't very well just give you a bunch of money for the item. Second, nobody forced you to buy the axe, you bought it of your own free will with your own money, with full knowledge that the axe was bugged, and with full knowledge that Anet would nerf it, eventually. You have no one to blame but yourself.

My hammer was nerfed to whiteness, what does everyone mean it wasn't fixed?

In either case you can still go out and get a +20 health +15% vs. charr hammer. No word on whether 40% stacking will work, and if so, how long this one's going to be in for.

There's also a +25% vs. charr and +20 health staff outside nolani from the famed +5 e firewand collector. Any takers?

some dont get off the forums and play it.
