Guild Wars 2

Ok I LOVE all the drops i get from the invasions, but i’ve come to realise the process of selling them takes forever. Why? because you still have buy orders which list under the vendor price still on the trading post. Remove them, and set the minimum to our actual profit number. So then we can just quickly sell anything and KNOW we at least made vendor price.

I agree. When the implemented the limit of a minimum price based on vendor price this was done half@$$ed. They should of also prevented anyone from posting a bid under the vendor price as well. Also I can still get less money from the TP then vendor because price doesn’t seem to take the Fee into account…why was that over-looked? Why are we even paying fees in the first place?!

Also what is with the pathetic vendor prices anyways? They need to raise the prices to reflect the items and their constituents. Why is it only like .8 – 1 silver more as you go from Fine to Masterwork, Masterwork to Rare and Rare to Exotic? Am I only gonna get like 4 or 5 silver for selling an Ascended to a vendor? That would be completely stupid! I have noticed that the Ascended inscriptions have a vendor price of a ridiculously low 83 copper! Come on…who thinks this is remotely reasonable? These vendor issues are greatly responsible for screwing with the TP and the economy…They need to be fixed!

I disagree. The game shouldn’t help you decide on how high you want to sell your product. It is obvious both of you don’t understand how supply and demand works either. If the player population wants your stuff you have a chance at selling it higher than vendor price. Why would a vendor NPC pay you 1g for an ascended inscription? What are they going to use the inscription for?

The TP is fine the way it is. A simple solution for you is to make up your own price and stop selling to buy orders. If your price is reasonable people will buy it.

No. I understand perfectly fine…but obviously you don’t. I didn’t say the game should say “how high” the price should be, I said “how low”. If you are confused about this then re-read what I said slower and think about it a while. Also regardless of what you sell your items for, if nobody wants them then they just wont sell; irregardless of the price. Plus the TP doesn’t work in the way your logic suggests. It isn’t an auction house where the price gets bid up. So when I put a price out there I have no idea what people are willing to pay until after the fact. And if it was really valuable then I find out by getting screwed! Not a great design. The vendor NPC’s don’t use any of what you sell them. That was a dumb things to even say. Based on that logic lets just pull all vendors, or at least their ability to buy, out of the game. Then if the game population is low for some reason then the game will die. Your suppy and demand theory breaks down right there

I do make my own sell price but it doesn’t matter because people are using the TP primarily for extra storage so they don’t care and list most of the stuff at the minimum price just to avoid buying more storage space and get what little they can without leaving the drops on the ground. Anet could help this by offering more bank storage even if the sell it as a 1 year rental. I have max storage and I am always full and they keep adding more items. They either have to add more storage or make all the item consolidate into fewer items sorta the way salvaging works but more reasonably.
