As I said, supreme/uber items isn't the problem to sell
But players won't sell them at merchs (and jewels,armours, etc q250 too).
Why?
1. Players won't sell them for certain players (or player type)
2. Players won't ruin (on certain spots) or spending (in WL) whole day(s) (night/evening) trying to get supremes/excelents just for sale...(is easier to forage at "safe" spots and grind (btw much faster) and get same (more...) dappers from sales for NPC without resale.
All falling again to "for guild members only" politic.
What you wanted, that you get.
Set filter to q220+ and grade to Exc+ and look what is at merchs...
Curious, when HQ will disappear
again (or already?)
If community did not appreciated, what was getting, and still complained - that should be expected as a result.
Greedy crafters? Hehe... Any crafter, who's selling above choice - is selling not for dappers, but doing social job
Complained? Don't appreciated?
No more supplies for "wide community" range...
Not many rare/needed items at merchs...
Few persons-guilds are greedy and stocking all in GH? Well, you can be happy, now large guild stocking all... Ah yes... they are altruistic and supply X members...
For small guild/guildless - "Oh sorry, say 'Tnx' for current situation on shard"
Grab friends/customers (for protection) and go dig?
Nah... Some of us/them dont need this, customers need, not "selfishes 1-2-3-.. person guilds" supplying big part of shard...
Why we/they need to sit 6/48 hours to get mats when they at least pop, and then sell for dappers, if easier just dig near TP in some 250ish zones, and grind, not collect *certain mats* for *certain type/order/recipe*.
Some wanted this result... Some just didnt understand, what they had...
And etc.
Join one of large guild and enjoy with "free/almost free" best stuffs?
1. i doubt that free in-guild stuffs are always best.
2. Not all want to join guild due to different play style - but this is their problems
3. Not all can find suitable guild (Reasons.: Faction/playstyle/timezone/guild politic/player which are already in guild/Few active players/etc)
4. Not many guild have really experienced (not only hi-lvl crafters)
5.Many don't want to join guild and after some time see total guild politics change..
