Guild Wars 2

Hello, i am one of those people that like to play with the market. Doing so i have made money. I’m getting to the point where my buying history has reached…200K pages. On some days it freezes on me, and on others, it takes forever to load. Needless to say I’m fed up with it; i don’t mind working the market, but its getting to be a rather tedious task. Now I’m not complaining about the taxes being high (economics people) or anything like that, i am saying to Anet that they could add a history clearing button for items you have bought, and instead of 200k pages of you bought 14 of this and 250 of that, make another button that lets you lump everything of a kind into one pile.

TLDR >> I have 200k pages of history, takes a while to load. A net, plz add 2 buttons.

1. a history clearing button.
2. a lump everything of a kind into one pile button.

Ty for reading : )

200,000 pages? I wonder what kind of resources it uses to keep all that information for each player. That seems insane.

Clear button is needed for sure.

add button plz.

It’s pretty unreliable anyway. I’ve sold only a tiny fraction of that amount and it hardly ever shows the history.

Personally, I think that due to all the enforced small transactions, it’s too busy to process requests properly. if they allowed larger transactions instead of all those itty bitty things, it wouldn’t have to work so hard. That’s my theory anyway

I agree – having unlimited history listings, plus all the items on the outpost that stay on the outpost, either through out-of-date prices or players who quit just seems to bog the whole system.

I don’t think it would take too much to lump everything together at least…i mean its gata be less for the system to handle if it doesn’t have to individually list all the transactions.

I mean if you order 250 bones, why can’t it just give you a bar that said you have bought 50/250 so far? and when its done have it be at 100% and list it in the history as 250/250 bought. If you cancel the order early it could say “50/250 cancelled” or something.

it happens easily. if you place several buy orders for crafting materials, say 2000 of each log, that’s potentially 12,000 different transactions. at only around 20 transactions/page, that’s 600 pages from 1 day.
now do that for ore, food, fine, gemstones, random items you buy, rares to salvage into ectos, etc.
I would like it if it only loaded the page that you are viewing, and not all of them. Mine also takes so long to open it’s not useful and I just say “puppy it!”

I move more items than that in an hour :/ that’s why i hope a mod reads this.
