There is no inherent mod like 15^50 so i see it as worthless.....

max dmg req 7 is indeed rare but still worth 0.00 if it doesnt have good mods. req 7 isnt something that is worth a lot on its own.
For instance:
Flamberge 15^50 req 8 50k (example!)
Flamberge 15^50 req 7 100k
Its just something that is a really nice extra on a good sword but nothing extra on a plain sword.

low req indeed, but no inherent mod. Maybe you can use it yourself, but its not worth to put a good mod on...
Maybe you find a newbie (still plenty of those) who wants to buy it for 1k or so.. but then you'd be lucky!
Feel free to steal this sig.

you would be better off keeping it for yourself and you can always mod it later

I know it's not worth much or nothing at all, but you guys think its worth to customize and put some mods on? Some near perfect mods, I mean how many perfect swords (with a kind of popular skin)do you see customized so what I mean is even tho it has no inherent mod on it if i customize it I could be doing more dmg than a perfect 15%^50% uncostomized sword.

dont mod it friend. I would hold my mods for a better sword and/or factions weaponry.
Also there has been CONFIRMED new inherent mods out there in the world now. Swords are now dropping with +5 energy instead of 15^50, its confirmed :) I cant wait to get mine. I would take the +5 energy over a couple extra damage on some of my builds. Especially for running.
Just wait it out for something better.
EDIT: go ahead and customize it though, but dont mod that baby, it will be a great PVE weapon customized.

Are you serious about the +5 energy swords? I kind of thought Anet was against that kind of thing considering that they removed the HOD sword. Don't see why they would do that only to put them back in again later. But if so, that would be pretty cool.

Yes, I would like to see where you got your confirmation for the +5 energy inherent mod drops from. A screenie or link will suffice.

they probably picked up on several things. #1 what the HoD swords are going for, #2 the fact that people talk about it in forums, they probably figured it was retarded to let some people have the advantage of the HoD swords and not others, #3 I think they are trying to take care of the farming issues. Putting the +5 out there again will drastically lower the price for other items, which drastically lowers the need for farming, and on top of that, they nerfed oro etc so that its hard to make money by farming greens in sf.
In my opinion it is one of the best moves they have done in strategically removing the "need" for farming. That is what they are trying to do, if im not mistaken from some of the Gaile Gray conversations. They are finally doing what I have been saying they should have done all along. If they wanna lower prices and stop farming, make certain items and mods less rare. It will balance it out for people, and the game will once again focus on the builds and skills aspect of it, which is what they intended in the first place. Secondly, the real show for money will be in the armor which people can still buy. Not in some ungodly price on a weapon that has +15% dmg more than others etc. :) But thats just how I see it :) I just hope anet doesnt start charging monthly which it has been speculated and a few rumours have been circulating about it, simply because of a phrase put in the eula that everyone had to re-accept.

Hmm I will have to disagree with you here. Adding the +5 energy mod yes, that will be nice, but i think it will do the total opposite of what you think. If more warriors have +5 energy and glad's armor, that's a major energy boost... totally new builds will come out that utilize the new energy therefore increasing the amount of farming. We also don't know the rarity of the drop. If it has a high rate of dropping, yes the item will be farmed and won't be very expensive... but if it is a low percentage... well then we know what that's going to do. the farming will stay the same, or possibly increase tenfold like the IDS when it first came out.
No I don't think the way to get rid of farming. In fact they urge us to farm, to build up inventory and sell it. It's just the exploitation of the bot or macro's that they do not support. Making certain items and mods less rare... well that just ruins a major part of the game. Sure, there are people who farm more than others, therefore getting the rarer items and mods, but if they put the time to do it, they should have something to show for it. The reason mod's and items drop at different rates is to keep the game fresh and new, if the drop rates were the same, everybody would have the same thing, everything would be repetative, as a result, people will get bored.
If you think about it, when something gold drops for you, or even a purple, don't you get anxious thinking about what it is? could it be a sup vig? sup absorb? perfect sundering? perfect hp? who knows, you'll only find out by identifying it (..or checking it but that's no fun). the randomness of drops in this game make it that much better.
But I agree with you that they shouldn't have a monthly fee :) but I don't think they will, the free on-line play is probably one of the top reasons we play this game. Other than the fact that it's awesome anyways ;p

I dont think its a +5 energy mod, its just inherent like the 15^50 so its either + energy or + damage. Maybe they will even add an inherent mod with + armor or damage reduction, who knows. But you cant add +5 energy to a weapon just like you cant add 15^50 to a weapon.
Also I heard that the +5 weapons dropped between the 2 updates last night (released early by mistake and taken back out) but they will drop again when factions comes out.
Anet did this because the HOD sword was in fact unbalanced in that only rich players could afford the edge over the newer players. If you go to LA and look at the HOD swords being sold they droped in price and probably will be merchant fodder once factions comes out. Just yesterday they were selling for 500K

when looking back in hindsight, I have to say I agree with you DLS, very insightful, + cred.
as for the eula phrase, i dont remember specifically, but I saw a post of it here on this forum, Ill take a look in my past posts and see if I can dig it up for you guys.
As for that axe Uc Cat, incredibly beautiful, if you find another one, Id be tempted to buy it ^^

Yeah, that phrase is in the EULA, but it just says that they CAN do it, not that they WILL. Just like the hourly warnings in-game, Anet is just covering all their bases.
Anet knows that the majority of their success relies on them delivering good gaming without P2P. Alot of their customers were drawn to GW just because of that. If Anet were to start charging fees, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. Half the people would leave because they can't afford it, and another half would leave because Anet lied to them.
Besides, if Anet continues to put out a chapter every 6 months, there's no reason to charge P2P. $50 USD per 6 months, that's 8-9 bucks per month. Much better than some 15 USD P2P games, and you don't have to buy the chapter if you don't want to!
So, to rephrase, Anet will NOT be acting upon that clause. Don't worry about it.
