Guild Wars 2

Hello.

I’ve been experience this problem since release.

The Trading Post doesn’t work properly for me. Sometimes my Gem count won’t appear on the bottom left corner (a “…” will appear instead), no gear of mine will be available for selling at the proper tab and while I can browse items for purchase, the “Buy” button is always greyed out.

The only workaround I’ve found for this bug is to logout and login many times until the Trading Post works properly on opening. Waiting on the Trading Post screen or continuing to play to check it later shows no result: when bugged, the only solution is to logout, restarting the client.

I am the network administrator with a background in computer design and programming. My firewall is not the problem (nor my router), all three of our/my machine’s are having this error on a regular basis, have tried running in multiple OS XP 32/64 – Windows 8, even derped in Mac for a while. Have tracked major packet loss through awesomonium as a potential but that has nothing to do with my system as I discerned the destination and was able to do a tracert and other tests for traffic shaping with no erroneous or out of line data. I have pushed troubleshooting to the limits for my side, what say you Anet?

Whenever this happens to me (usually after some GW2 update) I exit GW2 completely and then go to Start>All Programs>GuildWars 2>right-click the program and choose “Run as Administrator”. Then the TP will work correctly, even if from then on I start it from a shortcut. (At least until the next GW2 update which causes an issue!)

You can default to always run GW2 as an administrator, but I’m kind of wary of doing that:
