What kind of item is it and who is “Myiani?” I ask not so I can buy/sell as described, but because I love seeing new items.

not sure what the “new” item is, but Miyani is an NPC, usually found right next to the mystic forge fountain in LA. she sells various items that you can use Skillpoints or gold to purchase – usually items and recipes used for various gifts and mats that go towards crafting legendaries and named exotics.

added: do note, iirc, she doesn’t have a “vendor” sign (coins) above her head. so just hold Alt and look for her name : )) she should be on the left side of the Mystic Forge (map view)

The Donation Packaging?

It’s selling for 3 silver right now. Hopefully people aren’t actually buying it from them, though.

This wouldn’t be the first – and certainly isn’t the last – of easily obtained vendor items being sold for far more than their cost. Just search on the TP for the Runes of Holding (any tier) and compare to vendor prices…

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

So what you are saying here is that they are buying an item from a vendor and putting it on the TP for higher? Are people really buying them for higher because if they are then they really have no clue that if can be purchased cheaper.

Not sure if intended to be sell-able on the TP, but if people are buying them at almost twice the price off of it then I don’t see it as being ArenaNets fault, but the fault of the buyer off the TP.

Addition: Want to also say I have done a bit of an experiment on these. They are selling very slowly off the TP. So again it appears most of the population knows they can get them from the vendor for cheaper, but someone is buying them off the TP.

These appear as well to be usable to get some kind of Commendation from a Captain Lyns in the Grant Piazza. But, she has not been added in as of yet.

Ah ok! Yes, I just didn’t know her name. As to reselling things higher, I guess that’s endemic to any game market (or any RL market, even). Sometimes people will knowingly pay more just to save a trip to the vendor themselves.

It’s intentional most likely. After all, trait books have been on the tp all this time along with jugs of water, etc. Players sometimes will pay a small premium for the convenience of tp.

TBH, people have been able to purchase items from vendors then sell them on the TP from the beginning. Take the Runes of Holding from the crafting vendors. These aren’t account/soulbound and are regularly on the TP for >50s more than it costs from the vendor.

I don’t really see this as an exploit or bug, just people taking advantage of other’s short-sightedness.
