I get most of my GW2 website information through the RSS feed.

We’re currently in a sale period and the feed shows all the foreseen sales until next Monday.

You might want to hide that information from us.

Why should they hide upcoming sales? I see exactly the same thing in the RSS feed as I do on the web site. I don’t understand the issue.

When you look at the website, you see only the sales for today.

When you look at the feed, you see that there is some code (supposedly server-side) that, if I interpret correctly, hides the sales for days being not “today”.

Therefore I conclude that:
1. they don’t want to show the information.
2. the code that should run on server side doesn’t run when they deliver the feed, hence the bug.

If you want proof that I see future sales? I’ll spoil the sales of tomorrow:

  • Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic 25% Off!
  • Minis 3-Pack Set 1 (10 with 35% off)
  • Select Finishers 50% Off!

You must have a special feed, because I don’t see any code, or any upcoming sales. Lucky you!

Ah that was my mistake – I opened the article from my RSS feed. I need more coffee

Edit I think that now that it’s in the open for some folks, they should just update the web page. I guess they could rearrange the sale days, but I think that would leave a bad taste for a lot of folks.
