Guild Wars 2

I noticed if I post an item for a very low amount, I can avoid a high listing fee. For example, if I post a Ruby Ori Ring for 5s and the highest buy order is 3.5g, I’ll only pay 25c rather than 17s if I had simply selected the sell to highest order option. Is that considered an exploit?

lol that was interesting, so you are basically saying that if you sell it for less than the buy option then you’ll pay the listing fee based on what you entered and not what it sold for.

Dunno probably something that should be reported, hard to exploit tho since it has to be buy orders. Since most non farmed mats are not going as buy orders I dont see a big “exploitable” issue here. Bit that said yes, its not intended to work like that so it is an exploit.

Ya, it’s only been viable for 4 orders. But I was able to make a 30s profit from all those.

I don’t think this is accurate, or it has since been fixed. I tested it by:

-Buying an item for about 28s, no fees (since all the fees are for sell orders).
-Listing the item for 4c (should be a 1c fee)
-=-The listing fee and selling price set itself to the lowest buy offer automatically.
-Item sold for 21s45c, which was the highest buy offer.
-=-Received 19s30c from the trade, which has the correct 10% fee taken off

Unless I’m doing it wrong, there is no exploit.
