nice to know that the alternative to just doing some normal farming meta map is a huge complicated process.

It is very marginal, gw2 has a crappy economy balanced around real money. There have been times I could find profitable niches that few enough were in. Nowadays, every single item has been scrutinized, doing the buy order thing is not that a big game changer anymore. But anyway, it is like that in every game, if something trades, insta selling is always a loss, in case of gw2 a very small one most of the time. Pro tips, if you want to do ascended gear, buy the ascended mats and insignas over time with buy orders, saved me like 100 gold.

Overall, there's always been moneymakers, but they do shift around. That's why I tried focusing on the method more than actual items. One thing that's been proven time and time again is that people don't prepare for upcoming content. That's why I'm personally banking on some of the new JW mats for the upcoming legendary spear. But like anything else, there's always a limit to those methods.

You can always make bank flipping in GW2. Flipping should not be that kind of gamble where you find that one special item that makes you rich. Rather, it should be a process that makes gold consistently. The economy is extremely good to make gold at any time. It's much harder in real markets, because they tend to be much more efficient because there are more people participating. In GW2 the market is only efficient in a few areas at a time, opening up opportunities apart from these areas.

For me i prefer to do with flipping with low volumes as you can still enjoy the game, but of course you gotta stock some liquid gold. 200 gold per day seems pretty decent by just rebuying items few hours apart while playing the game.
@phandrel2 ай бұрын
I think that's probably the best approach for a lot of players. No camping in front of the TP needed, but still some of the benefits 200g extra per day is a very nice extra, indeed. That should fund whatever you want to buy/accomplish.

Honestly I find Flipping annoying and boring, I just go and play, sell some stuff and get currency ingame, these days with the Wizzard's Vault it is rdiculous IMHO to spend a lot of time doing all these stuff, and it feels more rewarding playing, getting the daily/weekley/special missions and getting gold from it while also from anything dropped playing to do so.

I feel you, I usually only dabble a bit myself, and it often falls more into the speculating category. Generally, I'd say that people who do this hours on end would fall into 2 categories: those that truly enjoy the process, or those that want to make so much gold that regular farming or playing doesn't cut it for them.

I don't think buyouts are ethical. It's just unfair to other players. I don't like people or concerns do market manipulations in the real world, so I wouldn't want this kind of behaviour ingame
@phandrel3 ай бұрын
I get that, I also think there's a bit of nuance depending on the item/total cost. I didn't elaborate on this in the video, as I wanted to stay on topic. I wasn't a fan when the person(s) did it with the recipe I showed in one of my early videos, but I've tried to protect viewers in future ones by showing all methods of obtaining the recipes that I talk about since then. I generally have no qualms with people trying this, as I just try to warn beforehand now. If we're talking about straight-up market manipulation or nuking a very liquid market (mystic coins, for example), I'm more inclined to say ANet should take action.

I am actually missing the point of farming gold all the time. I get a convinience factor of being able to solve any problem instantly with gold, but other than that... I mean a player would want to have leggy items, but realisticly you only need a finite number of them and you are going to farm most of what you need by just palying through content. May be i am just too casual player but i feel like flipping and crafting for sale is too boring for me. I got few unfinished wv leggy kits and some collections that i could finish with gold but i mostly make gold on fractal. With fractals i got a long way to get titles and with the amout of gold i get as a by product i feel like i am getting to a point where i can only spend gold on skins.

It’s just up to the individual, some people just love having thousands of gold in their wallet or get satisfaction from flipping and crafting than selling and seeing their efforts pay off. Others like yourself enjoy a specific piece of content in the game and just do that to make gold so it’s really just up to the individual.

As was said, I think it's up to the individual. I mainly started looking into making gold because I wanted to have all legendary gear, so I could play any build on any profession. This has now turned into wanting to finish collections, which cost just as much, if not more.

Markets will always change. You can't tell people to not say things, you have to be able to adapt any time. For there are countless of reasons why the market might change. With videos like these there's also opportunity, because suddenly there's gold on the market that wasn't there before.

@phandrel3 ай бұрын
It's not my favorite way to make gold, but when I was playing for a ton of hours per day, I noticed I started capping out on how much I could reasonably make. So anyone wanting to scale up further, will eventually need to employ the TP.
