    Wait, so you're mad from a chance increase and items having lower prices on them?

    Isn't it called buy low, sell high?

    I really don't see your point.

    You will make less per item possible but you have twice the drops so even the price drops by 50% you'll make same amount of money. Now tell me where im wrong.

    For the record im a fan of anything doubled for same effort.

    Thank you GM plz double every weekend. That way we all have good gear so we can spend money on dragon orbs. Every new 90 gear equal, cha ching, 20$ profit. HaHa, just pour gas all over the greedy game managers debate. Now go!

    That's if you can actually sell them. With so much mats being in the market from the people who farm ALLL day, you hardly get to sell them and if you do it's for crappy prices. Like I could remake my HH set with the mats I have and that's from someone who hardly does HH.

    So be smart and hold onto the materials until after the event. keep an eye on prices and when you feel they have reached what you are willing to sell at, start selling.

    I have plenty of mats in my bank. I'll be hoarding them until I feel the prices are worth my time.

    So you get 2x drops and 10%less coin per drop. I may be terrible at math but that doesn't seem like anything to be disappointed about so either.
    A.) be positive and notice your making more money still or
    B.) wait 2 weeks for prices to go down

    Aside from the fact that it is hard to find a squad (unless you have teles with which to do so), I love this. I never ever farmed for my TT gear, I was one of the people who bought it ready made, sharded, and plussed, but now I am actually working on my TT90 set, making it instead of buying. As for making a lot of money, well, not too sure about that, but hey, gold mats are more common so maybe I can get a tt90 gold set. b:pleased

    I'll be over here wowing at the OP and the people who agree with them.
    4 days of double drops, oh god no.... I've lost profit for maybe 2 or three weeks. Do you really think they will do this forever, because the OP sure does act like they will? I think this is the only thread, I have ever been in; that I want to tell the OP STFU.

    I personally love this event, I've finally been able to gather the materials and such I needed to make some nice TT weapons. And I didn't have to wait on or choose from greedy sods to do it because more people than me want what they want and won't wait for a price drop. Pfft. OP and their buddies can go emo in a corner like my laptop does when it so much as looks at a graphic heavy game. Maybe you guys can share emo stories about gaming.

    Funny though, I have mats sitting in my bank I had from before these events, still ain't sold em. Not gonna either. Might find some out of the way place and drop em on the ground and then announce the loc in wc just to see the scavengers come running.....


    Naw.. I'll just wait till prices go back up, and then sell em for a profit LOL.

    I'm glad they did double drops. In fact, you can throw double xp/sp out the window and keep double drops. It only took 2 runs at normal drops and 2 runs at double drops to get:

    10 broken drums
    20 chentien edges

    Thats 6 full TT weapons we needed and couldn't have gotten as easily for everyone without a bunch of QQ. We went in - got our mats for our gear, and we said good bye till 1-2 comes around. Less time farming, more time playing = more fun.b:victory

    I'm just afraid, that every1 will have ~same gear, same weapon and difference will be just in level. Anniversary pack already broke balance in game. Now it doesn't matter if you work hard for gear. What is matter is, how much money you have.
    Lot of people here see just to the near future and see just making their gear without effort. They are happy, that can easily can get what they want. That's wrong. I remember my pleasure, when I got something really rare and just few people had it. It was really pleasure and fun. Now?
    Easily obtained gear is already not honored and you don't have as fun as you had, if you had to work for you gear much harder.b:sad

    I sense Jealousy.

    If you're not jealous, and just want a Happy Ecstasy Time to feel Pleasure of farming hard, then..........

    You know what?

    It might have been a bad idea to bring this event in as a random event every now and then, it should have been during, say, Christmas or new year or so...

    Make it rare, yet regular.

    Doesn't kill the economy, yet still people can make some nice money out of it every now and then. ;)

    A wall of pointless QQ here

    So, let's see... you post on a character that you specifically went out of your way to make to make this very QQ post...

    ... posting about how the market suddenly sucks because you can't sell anything?

    Good going, QQ moar!

    For your information, TT wasn't made for you to go and farm. It was actually implemented for you to squad up or solo and get the mats for your gear. Yes, nothing stops you from farming it for profit, but in terms of it's original purpose, your QQ has no real reason to exist anyway.

    But seriously...You get double drops, and its not as if the mats have fallen by more than 1/2 price. What the person above said, and no one has really proved it wrong

    I just want it to stop because I'm getting tired of having to sort through 30-40 pages of TT mats looking for what I want. If they let you jump to say page 35 of the listings (so I can see everything new that's been listed since when I checked 3 hours ago), it wouldn't be so bad. But the AH interface forces you to go through pages 1-34 one by one to get to page 35.

    High price of gold + lower TT mat costs = more people zenning to gold trade to buy gear.

    It is as simple as that. When gold prices are so high, and mat prices drop 40% like they did on Lost City, more people who do not want to farm HH are going to spend cash instead of in-game coin to buy their mats.

    It also does benefit those who do not TT cash run. I was doing HH runs daily for coin, now I have a bank full of TT mats I can't sell. I'm not too worried, the event will go away and prices will stabilize again.

    Once every month or two is fine, but 2x drops on a daily basis will help keep gold prices at 500k+.

    Oh, and I don't really care so much, first run of the first 2x weekend, dropped two giant beast shells... so there's plenty of gold waiting in bank for the prices to go back to normal.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    the AH Interface needs a serious re-write. It is sooo slow and the overall design leaves a lot to be desired. They could do much better.

    What if we had 5x weekends?
    Or how about 5x all the time?
    10x? 20x? 100x? 1000000x? 100000000000000000000000000x?

    If the answer to any of the above is no, then you get the point.
    I think we have already hit the point of oversupply. Not just in tt mats either. Count up how many pages of molds there are in the AH. Or spellbooks.
    Its just insane and I hear a lot of complaining about how people cant sell stuff.

    I think all the people who want their stuff handed down for (almost) free (which is where its heading) should be playing something other than mmo's. Just my 2c.

    Yeah personally I enjoy double drops, but its going to **** the economy for ages. Well... **** it more than it already is.

    Incorrect, you CAN still sell stuff. What you cant do is sell stuff at a ripoff price, that's why ppl are QQing all around. I couldnt care less.

    **** what economy? thank the anniv. packs for that, its already screwed because of them.

    I laugh everytime i read "you can now buy stuffs almost free". So GBAs drop to around 1mil, instead of 1.8-2mil (which was damn stupid for a green mat) and you guys (some) QQ about ppl getting mats for free. Same with other mats. Ehm.... no. More affordable yes, but u still have to farm or do whatever you do to make coin to buy your mats... or guess what... do TT runs *shock*

    Anyway, TY for the event, it really makes you forget for a sec about this anniv ****.

    Take care

    An addition to expand the filters one or two more levels would help narrow search and result in less pages to view. Or they could implement an actual search by item or level within AH. That would be awesome.

    Back to OP....your kidding right? This event is great, I love seeing some of the TT mats lower in price. If it means you don't make as much who gives a ****.

    Great work GM's and dev's, keep the new ideas flowing.

    THINK before you QQ. Now I haven't read all the posts and not sure if this was mentioned, but THINK. Yeah the price of mats have gone down of course, but YOU, not just everyone else, including YOU are getting twice as many drops in one run. Sure, the mats you farmed won't sell for as much as they were before, but you are also getting TWICE as many in one run. Even if you sell them at half price as you did before, you'll still make more money because instead of getting 2 mats in 2 runs and sell for 500k each, spending 1 sub and half hour per run, you are getting 2 mats in one run and if you sell them for 250k each, you are still making 1 mil but have only spend half of the time farming and half as many subs to open TT.

    Since you know this event won't be every weekend, you could also save the mats to sell for later. I've seen some TT mats double in price then went back down within the time of a couple of weeks for no apparent reasons. Even if you don't want to wait and want money now, there are people that are willing to invest. You can easily selling the mats to them for more than half of the original price, therefore, still making more money than the start of this event.

    In addition, coins lose buying value when there are too much of it and not enough goods to the bought, aka inflation. Two ways of controlling inflation is to decrease money supply and increase the amounts of goods. The past two events did just that. Jolly Jones were a big coin drain since 100k was less than what a Guardian Scroll is worth so most people used coins. This event is now increasing the supply of goods in the market to match the increased coins from the chests of coins and best tokens. Sure, coins and NPC-able items are also dropping twice as much, but their value is small comparing to the large increase of TT mats.
