Guild Wars 2

when i go to sell onions as an example right now, people have placed orders that are less than the vendor would pay you for them. this also happens with many other low-level items

Is this a result of the “gw2secrets” video, because it does make sense if so, you see 2 people have ordered 11,000 onions for less than the vendor, THUS making us post them for the cheapest the trading post will let us. i find this with runes, minor major where one person ordered 50-100 of one rune less than vendor sell. why does this person need all of these?

this is just my assumption that someone is telling people to do this to get the cheapest thing because now i go on and the number has increased to 5-15 people ordering thousands of things they only need 2-5 of!

anyone else run into this issue and/or can explain why this is happening?

This are all older orders.

You can’t place orders lower than vendor price anymore (try it yourself).

Cancer is correct.

And in almost any situation it’s better to list a sell order then sell to someone’s buy order. The exception being when you need money immediately.

IMO the < vendor price orders which can neither be placed nor filled anymore may as well be removed (and refunded back to the players who placed the orders, as any cancelled buy order would be).
