Hello, let me introduce myself. I currently run LOTD "Lords Of The Dead" for our casual game chapter. Since closed beta I have been very active in NW, and have enjoyed much of the aspects of the game, but that is not why I am posting this today.
I would like to get every Guild leader, and their communities to get a request for change for an end game item, "The Coalescant Ward" As you all know this one item is affecting the game in a huge way, as they only come from 2 sources. 1. Praying for 7 days, and a loot drop from a lock box.
I would like these to drop from a Dungeon Delve box as well, and the only way this might have a chance of happening is if everyone whom manages a community gets with the program. The economy on every server is terrible, especially with the changes they just implemented. Lets get together and do something good for all of us.
If your a leader of a community, or officer please post up I would like to get as many communities on this as possible.
Please friend me, Ill accept and lets get to discussing this.
Thank's,
LOTD-GM

Valid request, I guess? However, I personally could give two craps about the Ward drops. How about...as a GM for my guild...being able to pool AD to buy bank slots? Not be required to use Auction House as a tool to pass AD to each other (at a loss by the way). SO in short, better drops will always be a big want, but come on....as GM for your guild i'm sure there are more important things to ask for.
edit: okay I'm a bit slow, you mean to get their members to voice an opinion. As long as you're not excluding people who aren't guilded from having an opinion. Also the problem with petitions is that you're only noting the view of people who agree with you. You'd be better off polling people first.
Fact of the matter is, c wards are already too common. That is why they are listed for 1000 zen on the store but sell for 95-100k ad on the ah typically. It isn't hard to create an army of toons, get them to lvl whatever and start to pray..
I get what you are asking, but like whitewolf led on to, there are many better options than increasing c ward availability (which is already extremely easy to come by)..
How about Bug Fixes > Dungeon Loot Tables fixed so Epics Drop again > New Paragons > New PvP Content > etc...
Coal Wards should NEVER be dropped loot as right now enchants are the BiS gear in the game and if it was "EASY" to get T10/Perfect Enchants there would be no carrot to chase. (Just ask the players that have spent $1000's on their characters to get that BiS gear and haven't logged into to play Mod 1.)
Totally in favor of the weapon/armor enchants dropping from dd chests. Enchantments are the most p2w aspect of the game atm.
Right now, we have people who exploited 100s of nightmare mounts, so they have millions upon millions of AD. Because of this, prices on things such as vorpal shards and coal wards will be going up for a while. A hundred thousand AD is nothing to someone with 50 nightmare mounts ready to sell. Since the devs didn't roll the servers back 15 min when this happened, we'll have to wait quite a while for the economy to recovery from this. But it will happen. (assuming no new super exploit like this pops in beforehand)
It doesn't really work this way. Those people have a lot of mounts not necessarily money, yet. The value of the money is not effected by the number of mounts on the market, but rather the amount of money in circulation. Mounts don't effect this. Two things can happen. The people holding the mounts flood the market with them thus lowering the value of the mounts. Or the people holding the mounts keep holding them and only sell them here and there to keep the value high. They don't amass economy breaking riches in this manner due to the fact their sales are slowed considerably. They also run the risk of the value still dropping in. The future and thus they lose money. It pretty much has everything to do with the value of the mounts not the value of the currency thus not the value of other items the currency can be used to buy.
The current rise in the cost of things on the AH is tied more closely to the fact that for every Feywild pack they sell 600k ad is added to the economy. Same goes for the other packs.
The packs granting extra AD definitely is a factor and worth calling out. However, mounts are an excellent vehicle of transferring AD to those exploiters. I'm sure they are slowly selling them in order to maintain higher value. However, I know if I were selling a few every other day, I would be buying up shards and coal wards like crazy to make all of the greater/perfect enchants I want and still have millions left over at the end of the week.

Is that against the RoC? I can't see any reference to it. Also it's not a petition but talking about a potential petition, which isn't petitioning.
It at least gives people access to enchanting their weapons and armor at lower levels of wealth, versus looking at the cost and simply passing.
Maybe give shards 25% chance to form a lesser -> 20% -> normal -> 10% -> greater -> 1% -> perfect.
