    I don't disagree with this...
    But have you noticed their AH Price? :)

    Don't spend zen to get them. 1000 zen is around 330,000 AD (the conversion price for AD hovers around 330, sometimes as low as 228, up to 334) On the AH you can get them for 110,000 AD. Remember that many of the Coalescent Wards on the AH are from the Celestial Coin turn in, or from Coffers of Enchantment. The people selling them are still making a decent profit at 110,000. I have seen the Wards go for as little as 104,000 but they don't last long.

    I believe AH ward pricing is set by players, while the Zen shop is fixed.

    Considering the AH pricing fluctuates everyday, it will be hard to set a new Zen price for the ward.

    Anway, there are other Zen stuff that are better candidates for price lowering :)

    I didn't say it wasn't set by players timmbeer.

    I merely pointed out you can get them much cheaper from the Auction House.

    Yeah that's why it needs a price drop $10 bucks is too much.

    The thing is, what happens if the wards in Ah suddenly rises to 500k AD (If)? How will it affect the zen price now? Can the zen price for the ward be raised instead?

    More extreme case, what if after dropping the price of zen for the ward, the AH price suddenly drops to 30k-40k. Should the zen price be dropped again?

    I am not trying to pick an argument, just feedbacks and scenarios.

    Just expressing my opinion $10 bucks is too much. I think $5 is a more fair value.

    Understandable. And I do not need an answer for my thoughts anyway.

    Though I believe there are better candidates in the zen store for lowering price :)

    You are correct. Any change in the zen price for CWs will also effect the pricing on the AH. A drop to 500 zen will certainly drop the AH price as well, which is not really a bad thing. I just don't think it is really needed. Even at 500 AD for a CW it will be cheaper to obtain them by using the AH, simply because the CWs are found in other places than the Zen shop, namely the Coffers of Enchantment and Wondrous Augmentation.

    You can get one for free every 7 days . This keeps the price down on the AH .

    I agree on this. They are way to expensive. I pay 11,89$/7,82 Pounds for 1000 Zen
    (Price on Zen varies, depending on what part of the world your in)

    I have never gotten a blue ward from a celestial purchase. They are insanely priced and it is driving me away from the game. I like to PvP but i just cannot compete with the farmers that have made millions off exploit farms. They are running around in rank 7 and 8 enchants with top tier gear and millions of AD. I earn a fraction of AD and have never been able to sell anything for more than 30k AD. People are charging millions for certain items.....

    A casual gamer cannot compete and the disparity in power is incredible from a fresh 60 to a decked out character that does nothing but run ring farms and speed dungeons or harvests nodes.

    I think for the amount of failure that goes in to fusing, and the amount of enchants you need, there shouldn't be wards at all. There should be no failure, just lower the drop rate on these things. There is no point whatsoever in putting 1% on the chance, unless you're just saying they are more for the 1% players, which goes in line with the p2w idea.
    TL : DR? Then don't waste my time responding.

    I totally got to thumb my nose at the RNG today, and got a coalescent ward out of the coffers from all three characters who can invoke. Usually I get one every couple of weeks.

    I don't think theyre going to lower the price of wards, they just lowered the drop chance of them from the celestial bags.

    9-10 rank enchantments + perfect armor / weapon enchantments and yes you can't really compete with this .
