Ridiculous
Even r12s are ridiculously priced! It's next to impossible for a normal player to get them in a good amount of time!  S entry007   00:44, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * If you can't make 100k in a week, let alone a month, you're doing something wrong. Vili [[Image:User Vili sig.jpg|User talk:Vili]] 11:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Or you have a life.--ShadowFog 12:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I make roughly 125k per week without opening the game at all. People who actually play can easily make more. - Auron 12:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well then, I guess you (Sentry007) aren't actually playing.--ShadowFog 13:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In an ideal game, even noob players or players who didn't want to farm would be able to get whatever armor or weapons they want. Why hasn't ANet realized that it's a game which is supposed to be fun? Having to work for better weapons kind of defeats the purpose of playing tbh. That's just my piece.

 * If anyone could get anything they wanted for zero work, Guild Wars would not have an economy. That is not an exaggeration.  It wouldn't have a bad economy or a skewed economy, it would not have an economy at all, full stop. --216.241.108.106 22:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I left this discussion because I forgot I started it...but, even if you can make 125k in a week, this is much more then a 100k. And I'm not saying I'm completely poor (I'm starting to run the dungeon that drops this), but just saying that even a high req is very expensive.

 * I need to stop leaving these discussions...you're absolutely right, it is the player's fault that the prices are high. I hate ti when people (like myself, actually) complain about it.

 * I think they're hideous as well, actually. They suit necromancers, but that's it.  People don't get them because they think they look great (usually), they get them because they're overpriced as hell.  Why do you think people use Tormented Swords?  The thing has no edge, it looks ridiculous (and before anyone gets on my ass about the no-dachi, that thing was designed differently and weighed more, not to mention needed 2 hands and wasn't historically effective from a military perspective anyway).  The good news is, with the number of times I run Shards of Orr, eventually I'm going to get one of these at a decent requirement and make a metric assload of cash.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 10:46, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

They are very ugly, but if somebody wants to give me a lot of money for them, then I don't care. QuePedito 09:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Watched a guildie pull a req9 healing one from SoO chest a week or so back. Goes for 200 ecto. More money than I've ever actually accumulated in my 5-year GW career I reckon. Andran Steel 02:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

What is the percentage that a BDS will drop fromt the chest?
What is the percentage any1 know?ChuckieReturns2 13:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

same as any other chest drop xD 98.121.208.139 02:03, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * something like 2% iirc. 24.150.101.241 22:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It is lower than 2%, i have been on many SoOsc runs and only a couple have turned up. Im guessing same ods of a Voltaic Spear from Slavers' Exile. Flaming Hot Chilli  06:23, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Ridiculous!

i think it looks like a dragon on a stick--Gozu 19:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Lost in Translation
Personaly, I think Anet could have done a little bit more to the staff to make it look like the picture. There is no spine running along the grip of the staff and most of the detail is lost. Its just some of these minior things that make this staff loose all personality. Not worth 750 ectoes. Flaming Hot Chilli 00:02, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing introduced after October 26th, 2006 is worth 750 ectos. Or even 1.  &mdash;Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 08:00, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Z chest?
194.252.105.84 14:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, as all weapons in the entire game (probably weapons which are not in game also hehe) can drop from the zchest--88.24.9.203 22:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No, only weapons that can be dropped by an enemy come out the zchest (sorry Eternal Blade doesn't follow that), and there is even a weapon that can be dropped by foes but doesn't to come out the zchest -- the IDS is the only weapon (I think) that is dropped by foes but doesn't seem to come out the zchest. I could probably make a list of all items that doesn't come out the zchest C4K3 [[Image:User_C4K3_Signature.jpg]] Talk 22:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Umm... The Silverwing recurve Bow, nor Dryad Bow.... and some others don't drop ^^ so yea, some DONT dorp :P- --Haunted Shadow 03:18, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Haunted Shadow

Why is it so expensive? It doesn't even look nice....

One of the worst looking staff in game
Cood be ok for a MM, still the regular Bone Staff looks 1000 times better than this... --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.222.96.57 (talk).
 * People just get angry that they cannot have expensive things. It's a nice looking skin dyed certain colors, and for sure looks better than that staff with balls of fuzz at the end. Sonic Sunday User Da Sonic Sig2.png 17:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You totaly fail by thinking that if someone doesn't own/want a BDS it's just cause they can't afford it. I could easily own some of these "babes" but I find the skin horrible, and that's the only reason why I don't bother buying one (same as with some other "expensive" and ugly skins/armors such as chaos gloves, silverwing or crystallines). The only highend skins that I find quite attractive are the Emmerald Blade and Dryad bow (and maybe voltaic spears). IMO Charr Staff beats this by far. but then again, that's just my opinion, as seems to be the above anon's --Lhoj 23:34, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to beat a dead horse, but I agree. It's not an amazing skin; the concept art is awesome but it wasn't implemented well. That being said, I think the Charr staff looks better as well, but I am toying with the idea of getting one of these for my rit just to round out my collection of expensive weapons. So, I can have it if I want, not having sour grapes, just not that much a fan. The main (and kind of only reason) I would get one of these is just for the hell of it (and the "prestige"). 129.8.233.131 21:21, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I know this conversation is kind of old but it still disappoints me that people assume that just because someone doesn't like something it makes them poor I have 3 old school Q7's that I'm way more fond of than any of the newer shit. On the other hand I've sold 3 Vs's so it's really a preference thing imo. Lol so don't assume because you know what they say about assuming things =P.
