Guild Wars 2

About a week or two ago I noticed that Zap dipped down to 450g buy order. I started putting a buy order in every night around 475gold, but it never filled. I forgot a couple of nights, including last night, and gw2spidy shows a buy listings raw data for 210g for 11pm last night.

Does this mean that everybody above 210g either removed their order or had it filled? The number of buy orders seems to only slightly dip. Is this just a miscalculation on the website or am I reading this incorrectly?

Thanks in advance

We had a discussion about this a couple of weeks ago. Someone (or some group) has been dumping large numbers of precursors (and by large, I mean maybe a dozen of each) into the buy orders all at once. If you look at the other precursors last night, they saw the same thing. We can’t tell from Spidy’s data, but potentially some bidders may have had their orders filled at a pretty cheap price.

Buy order dip on Zap was significant at 12. The graph doesn’t show it as significant because there are probably 1000 orders for Zap that are so low that they don’t really factor in to demand — probably placed a year ago, and those people no longer play.

We don’t know anything more about it though.

Thanks for this. That makes sense. That sucks that I potentially missed out on getting my cheap zap order filled. But I guess I’ll just keep at it.

Now, I’ll be wondering what would possess somebody or a group of people to dump a significant amount of precursors to fill buy orders.

Why not just leave your order instead of replacing it every night?

he’s likely outbidding the other buy orders who outbid him.
