Did I Delete a Legendary or Something?

A lot of these calculators are based on the TP prices of items. So something you own is currently listed on the TP for far less than it used to be.

It could be a one-off: if you have an item rare enough that there's only a few at a time it could have dropped to zero then the next person to list one didn't check the value and just put it up for whatever they thought it was worth/could afford the listing fee for. Say for example if the Preserved Queen Bee dropped to zero on the TP then some casual player who had never heard of it before got one, they might list it for 2850g, just above the buy price - knocking over 1500g off the current 'value'.

Or it could be that something you're stockpiling and dropped slightly but you have enough of it that it has a significant effect on the overall value of the account.

What Danikat says, and my guess is that you were probably ranked "higher than 54%" of all accounts on gw2efficiency before, and that this hasn't changed significantly. Usually these things affect everybody. My account value dropped similar that day. Anyway, don't take these numbers seriously, they show an imaginary value, nothing else.

Double-check, if your wardrobe value also plummeted for the same amount.

Besides the obvious explanation that some expensive skins you have unlocked, dropped in value, there is another possibility:

GW2Efficiency usually uses the lowest listing price to calculate the value of any unlocked skin. However, if that skin runs out of supply on the tp and there are no listings anymore, it uses the highest bid to attribute the value, which is probably alot less than the last listing that vanished.

The Merciless Short Bow Skin is currently a good example, as it only has 1 listing at 1000g and the highest bid is at 95g.

If you have that skin unlocked, it currently adds 1000g to your wardrobe and account value but if someone decides to buy the last listing, it will only add 95g to it, so you loose 905g in wardrobe and account value.

Also, does the tracker keep track of "value" if no more are actually listed in the TP, or does it just use the default of vendor sale price at that point?

if an item's last listing vanishes from the tp, gw2e uses its buy order price for evaluation.
