I was contacted in chat yesterday by a friend who place AD in the Zen exchange at 750 last month. He logged in to find his AD still in the exchange. Then he wanted to know, if I had any insight about the time to backlog ratio. I told him, I don't use the exchange but always heard it was 1 million per day. However looking at the current 16 million backlog he should have his Zen by now.
I continued to ask players about the wait time in chat and one player informs me that the current wait time is up to 30 days or more. That would indicate to me, that 50% less Zen is being traded back into AD than last year. I don't know if this is from the cap increase, low server population, players holding on to zen, or all the above. Can anyone else shed some light on this?
As for my friend, he left his AD in the exchange hopes to have it for extra Zen on next Friday. Personally, I plan to eat my turkey and ham on Thursday and sleep in all day Friday. Enjoy your shopping sale next week!

Seeing that Mod 18 is that far off, I am also planning on spending December in the original Guild Wars, they have awesome PvP snowball fights.
So at least 1 month.
