  1. I have helped a few times when there was a bounty event in Vabbi. Others helped too, just need a bit of luck and bored people on the map. And some persistence because it will require people to stop what they are doing and travel all the way to the part of the map where there is not a lot to do. So some patience is involved.

It sounds like a very risky strategy to me, but I'm hardly an expect on playing the TP. But even so it's not something which requires a conspiracy of some sort, and it's not against the rules. It's just lots of people speculating on the same item at the same time.

    Dunno, right now the order is the current supply times 10..

    > According to [GW2 Spidy](https://www.gw2spidy.com/item/19976) earlier today there were buy orders above that price, and before that the price for both sell and buy orders was lower. Also I've been watching the price and volume of buy orders while writing this post and the number of buy orders at 1.8g is dropping steadily, so they are selling. To me it looks like 1.8g is about the limit of what most buyers are willing to pay, at least for now. The price has previously been lower than that and has never been much higher so it's reasonable to expect it will drop again and all the buy orders at 1.8g will be met sooner or later. Why pay more than you need to, unless you really need it right now (and if you need it right now why not use the buy instantly option?)

    Who says it is all their gold? And it gives them access to most of the games mystic coins, does that sound good?

    US or EU? Tag was doing legendary bounty and when some of us got there everyone was dead on the ground. Not because it was hard but it had the spinning lasers and the lag prevented everyone from moving out of the way... It was perhaps 3 to 4 seconds of lag.

    > At first glance the reasoning of the gambling authority (in 7.1) seems to be that coins, which the objects acquired from the lootbox can be traded for, can be sold for real money on third party sites even if that's against EA's rules, the court seems to accept this reasoning.

    > Given that GW2 gold can be sold on 3rd party sites for real money (which is similarly against the rules) and certain items can be sold on the trade post I don't see a lot of reasons for a judgement involving GW2 ending differently (unless this gets appealed resulting in a different conclusion), there's a few small differences but I doubt they'll lead to a different conclusion.

    You see it as gambling, I see it as gaming. Gambling is you win or you lose. With the chests you always gain something. :/ Either way I dont want them to meddle in neither of them. We have enough stupid rules in this country..
