There is plenty of flax to be had for those that want to farm it, but as long as most players are fine with the price the way it is now, you won't get new people contribute to the amount of flax offered on the trading post. More farms won't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jordan.6938 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Either way you were going to lose. You spent more than ten bucks USD, or 289 GOLD's worth of gems, on a home instance node that would have generated no more than perhaps 20 SILVER per day on average in Flax related gatherables provided you make sure to use it. You'd have to use those nodes every day for the next five years just to make your money back that you spent on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing about whether ANet _should_ provide that information in a more-accessible spot. I'm saying: it's not hard to find. Someone who cares about what they get for their 1000 gems shouldn't trust that all the details they need to make an informed choice are going to be presented by the seller. > > ANet could make things easier and I really wish they'd stop shooting themselves in the foot by reconsidering their phraseology in light of potential ambiguity of language(s).

Such complaints appeared before and nothing has been done about this. They are selling stuff for real money there and since they can't improve on this matter maybe an outside auditor should look at their practices and determine a repair plan for Anet? You keep missing the point: this isn't about what ANet _should_ do, it's about what they did do and about what the buyer did. ANet didn't promise; the buyer presumed something that wasn't stated and would have taken less than 2 minutes to learn via an internet search. There is no seller in the history of the ~~universe~~ planet (just in case you wanted to pick that nit) that acts entirely within the best interest of the buyer; the buyer should do some checking if they want full value for their expenditure. I definitely wish ANet would write their marketing copy knowing that people are likely to misunderstand if there's any ambiguity instead. But that's a wish of mine; they aren't under any obligation to get better at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrizzFreston.5290 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Whether you think having the information on the wiki is enough or not, Even I dont read all the wiki related information on gemstore items. In fact, I am probably less inclined to buy something if I cant fully see what Im buying ingame. As in, i need to be really interested to even begin searching outside the game for more information. I think an easy button that links to or shows more information on the details of said item could be really useful. Many online shops have it and while some are better at that it than others, its usually helpful. Also as I automatically distrust it if I dont have easy access to such information. Ofcourse, for the gemstore to link to the wiki would in no way be all useful when the wiki doesnt get updated basically right away by those launching a new gemstore item. So while Anet might not be obligated to write a more clear description, it definitely would come across better if they showed more complete and transparent information. Knowing that this mostly only matters in the more complicated gemstore items like this gardenplot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem may be time, money or lack of ideas or will to do it properly. I don't understand why would you argue this. It's an easily-demonstrably truth of human nature that there is never any way to provide sufficient written information that allows _everyone_ to understand everything that they might need to know. Some people simply best by doing, some by listening, and only some by reading. It's not simply a question of time, money, or even a will to do it (properly or otherwise).

Nothing like this happens in gemstore regarding item in question and no customer has any obligation to read or know about wiki or reddit which are not Anet official marketing channels. Well, do you get full information about any product you buy in reallife; with real money? I don't think so. For sure nobody has any obligation to inform oneself, but if you have an exact expectation form this one product (like op had) it's just logical thinking that you inform yourself; atleast google it once. All informations about this item are there - official from anet or not - everybody who wants it can get every information about this item. Don't get enough information ist just because you just don't want to inform yourself, thats it. Atleast that's my opinion. And if you have wrong expections on an item just because you didn't inform yourself, it's nobody else fault than yours. Also just my opinion. Obligation or not, if i want certain thing i make sure that i buy the correct item for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, though not working for all gemstore items, you can type /wiki(space) and shift right click any ingame item to directly go to the wikipage related to that item. (as in pinging an item with shift rather than control so it can be used within a sentence or in this case, with a chat command.

The seller should provide full information about the product or link to the proper source. Nothing like this happens in gemstore regarding item in question and no customer has any obligation to read or know about wiki or reddit which are not Anet official marketing channels. > > Well, do you get full information about any product you buy in reallife; with real money? I don't think so. As a customers we should demand fair treatment every time companies try to abuse us. It should start with simple things like this one so customers are not slaves to corporations. We are on losing ground not because of laws but because of people defending such practices with arguments "such is a way of life" or "everyone does that". Companies will never improve for customers unless customers demand improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think an easy button that links to or shows more information on the details of said item could be really useful. Many online shops have it and while some are better at that it than others, its usually helpful.
