Currently I understand the Trading Post is global, used by all GW2 players everywhere…is this correct?

Bearing that in mind, when GW2 releases in Asia will it still be a global TP or will Asia have a separate TP?

Asia will most likely have the same TP.

The only foreseeable difference is that Logan has a different model there. :D

I don’t have a source, but I distinctly remember a dev saying China will be separate.

I feel like they will almost have to be, at first anyway. The market would be super crazy the first few weeks. And they would have quite a hard time catching up in mass.

I think they will eventually join them though, ones their prices become similar to ours.

Well they’ll definitely have a better view of what to invest in. If they’re smart they’ll grab precursors early and stock up on lots of gems.

The immersion of the two markets would be horrible, no matter how they did it.

For the new players in Asia it would be…really high, out of reach prices…

For the economically savvy players who are sitting on piles of gold it would be a license to print money…

I think Asia would after have a separate TP for the first 6 months until its economy matures…just the price of gems alone would be a huge disadvantage to Asia players if it was still one global TP…

It will be quite a challenge. If linked to the global TP, there will be massive market manipulation. If they don’t link, people will open Asian accounts and, with their intricate knowlege of trading and every part of the game, will get insanely rich in no time. The precursor market in China will be an even larger mess than here, even if they decide to adjust the droprate in China by 1000 percent (in which case manipulation will simply shift to t6 mats and lodestones etc). I think the manipulation will actually be more controllable if they link China to the global TP straight away.
