Do people honestly think Anet went out of their way to make you frustrated for NO REASON? If people do honestly think that, then why would Anet care what they think in the first place? Is there any reason Anet could provide that would change those people's thinking?

I see little reason to complain about that ... it's how the game has worked for 6+ years now.

    > Yet we have people in this very thread admitting to buying the Sigil at 1g, 3.x gold and other values. Admitting that they bought only their required amount or some extra to later sell.

    >

    > You are simply assuming a very tiny minority bought up all the Sigils and while that might well be compared to the entire player base, it is pure speculation that this minority was super wealthy TP barons. As Wanze and I have pointed out, this kind of market reaction and continued market reaction is not achievable by just some few players. It requires an entire shift in player base behavior versus a commodity.

    >

    > Are some few making gold off of the initial 18k Sigils? Sure but how many and what type of players those are you can only speculate. Chances are high it is gold savvy players but that is not required. I can guarantee a vast majority of people in this thread would do the same given the opportunity, that is quite evident by the amount of envy and greed through the responses.

    >

    > That does not affect in any way the Sigils which are now coming into the game yet are priced similar to previous Sigils which were bought up old stock. Turns out, any one owning Sigils for sale enjoys taking as much gold as they can for them. That too is no TP baron mumbo jumbo but simple normal player market interaction.

    >

    > EDIT: the more this thread goes on it becomes evident that people are not actually opposed to the high price, but are rather envious of others having been faster or getting the same collection for less gold. Yes, that is unfortunate (and it affects me too since I don't have my Sigils yet but I don't mind getting beat by some savvy players. On the contrary, I applaud their dedication and speed to figure this stuff out). But that's life, you don't always get to win. What you can do is decide what the collection is worth to you and then buy or not buy the Sigil. There is no reason to cry over spilled milk.

     

    The discussions in here leads nowhere, that's what i find evident.

    There are 3 types of players arguing over and over about the same thing.

     

    A ) Makes a killing by selling the sigils and will always defend it

    B ) Has no reason but "Everyone deserves to farm 300g or more for a collection so shut up"

    C ) Materials for the collection are to expensive

     

    First i wanted to point at the issue than i started arguing a bit, because i didn't understand how someone wants to pay voluntarily so much and now i don't care about the whole new content and armor anymore.

    _"Been there, done that, don't care anymore"_

     

    At least for me the arguing is over, because the effort to defend the stance of me and quite a few others is exhausting and not worth it.

And if they really must have it right now they still have the option to trade 10 USD worth of gems to gold.

     

    Both parties if veteran or new player can farm the goldmines over and over and over, it's not like you need any special skill or anything, anybody can run RIBA or Istan for hours.

    You don't have be so elitist, it has nothing to do with being able to farm gold.

    You got a few fair points there but just look at this chart, between 4AM and 5AM 18k sigils vanished from the market, so the assumption that a whale bought up the market is backed by numbers. That whale could of course be a whole guild or just one guy but it looks coordinated.

    Well, not useless, ignoring the situation completely was no option for me.

    It's not hard to understand that such a goldwall can be frustrating for many.

    Don't get me wrong, i would be less frustrated if i would have to get those items from vendors for the same price, i just don't want to feed the whales anymore.

There will be time for it.

    >

    > Those items will gain some value, sigil of nullification would lose the value it should not have reached, and there would be a guaranteed source if the TP value gets too high.

     

    **Pretty much the solution, read something similar on reddit.**

    I know plenty of stuff that could find a home in this recipe and hence become valuable.

If they think this will make me throw my cc right away to buy some gems to convert or spent tons of hours grinding unreasonable gold for that kind of kitten .. yeah .. not gona happen my dude. I'd rather waste my time doing something else. The price of this thing wont go down, it will go up because they control the market.

    > How does a single sigil that had pretty much no value before the patch, and now does after, harmful to the economy or just other sigils? There's really no point in hoarding them because demand will just fall as time goes on and whatever value they could have gotten had they sold now will be reduced. The issue that players have is with the price and not because of its acquisition methods. Had the price remained at 2 silver a piece, this thread would not exist. The price will fall.

    You know what, i am kinda tired of this discussion.

    The collection is overpriced and nobody can foresee the pricechanges without an Anet patch to the mats.

     

    All, everyone is asking for, is a change to the needed materials for the collection, because it's overpriced even if it goes down to 2g.

     

    Here is the point, i am repeating myself here, i do not under any circumstances understand how a sane person can argue for higher prices over lower ones if he makes no profit out of it or doesn't need to buy the sigils. That's why i am tired of this ping pong discussion, either you are making a profit or you are not involved because you don't have to buy the sigils from TP.

    The 3 options are "Arc" farm in silverwastes, "Grimward" farm at mystic forge or powerleveling 25 chars to level 63.

    (Option 4 is hoping for a random exotic with the correct sigil.)

     

    All items with the attached sigil are priced now well over 10g from worthless.

    Yes the whole sigil economy is, because now everyone and their mother are hording them again, just watch some threads on reddit.

     

    I can't really understand why you are defending the situation, may you elaborate why it is a good thing to lock out so many players from having the armor for an unknown timeframe?

    "can very well be" =/= accusation

     

    But as a longtime EVE player i know very well what bounderies devs sometimes overthrow for personal gain.

    It is a possibility and not a fact and in the end it doesn't really matter who bought 18k sigils in one swoop.

     

    What matters is that the economy is damaged big time and takes away fun from many players for an unforseeable future unless it is fixed.

    Sure, over a long period of 6 month or more this sigil might come down again.

    But who cares if a material for current content has a reasonable value in half a year?

    I also don't see any argument for this price tag, the collection has plenty other stuff to buy and grind.

     

    Anet just didn't think about the consequences and we are getting 0 response.

    The influx is way to low for this reasoning. Read it a few times in this thread but i don't see where all those sigils should come from.

    Dungoneer chest is 5g reward per 8 runs + some random coin, bringing this into perspective we are at 135/5=27 27*8= 216 So its around 200 runs for the current price. Ohhh lol i don't even want to see the outcry if people would have to run 200 dungeons. =)

  13. Atm 1 sigil is at **6g 76s **and only 1300 left on the TP and that's even before the weekend spike.

     

    20x 6g 76 =** 135g only for sigils** atm, this will spike even higher

     

    The influx of new sigils is so low that the TP will dry out in no time.

     

    **Let's be honest, this skin is a ripoff and it's sad that anet was so incompetent to not see this coming.**
