Guild Wars 2

Hello.

I tried to search the forum for that particular topic, but could’nt find anything.
if this has already been mentioned, I apologize, and I’ll remove this topic.

I noticed that many player, used the black Lion company to post offers of one copper piece for various items. Well, that can’t work and it’s just polluting the trading post.

Indeed, we can’t sell an item for a price inférior to it’s value. Personalized offers for those items should be limited as well. (I’d say a bit higher .. 1.5 times it’s value, maybe? .. anyway limited).
And the trading post should be purged of all those silly “one copper piece offers”.

I apologize for any grammar/spelling errors. English is not my forte.
bye

Many threads have been made. Not a one still got the attention and had it done.

I wish they would remove the buy offers for less than vender price and block people from making more. Some items which have this people are selling at vender price. Which makes it impossible either to sell at a profit or break even since the 15% TP tax means you then sell under vender price. You are better off vendering it.

Last I checked, ANET had blocked the creation of new buy orders below vendor price. However they haven’t purged the trading post of low buy orders.

As for sell orders that would earn the seller less than if he vendored them, I’ve seen two theories:
1 – People are in a position where they need a bag slot right now, so it’s a choice between trashing the item or listing it and getting some gold value for it.
2 – People who don’t understand the trading post see that there is a minimum price. They see that the minimum is 1c above the vendor price. So they think the limit is there to protect them*, thus any value above the limit is a good idea.

*Can you give me any other sensible reason for putting in any minimum price limit on items at the TP ?
The idea of ANET putting the limit there for a reason that isn’t sensible just doesn’t occur to them.

This still is a problem….
