Guild Wars 2

Some time ago, several items were listed in the trading post with the name “…” (the most notable of which was the Arachnophobia short bow, which didn’t even appear when searching for “Arachnophobia”). Those seem to have been fixed, but now there are several items that don’t appear in the trading post.

For example, I can see a listing for “Rampager’s Destroyer Torch” (1 unit available) and I can see a listing for “Valkyrie Destroyer Torch” (0 units available), but “Berserker’s Destroyer Torch” is not listed at the TP at all. This suggests that, if I craft one, I won’t be able to sell it (either it won’t be possible to list it at all or no one will see it, which means I’ll just lose the listing fee and never sell it). I’m obviously not going to spend close to 20g in materials just to find out.

The fact that it’s not listed also makes it impossible for players to place buy orders, so crafters have no idea how much someone would be willing to pay.

Is this a known bug? Or some cryptic feature? Has there been any official comment about this? Has anyone actually tried listing an “invisible” item at the trading post? And how are you supposed to put a buy order for an item that isn’t listed?
