Guild Wars 2

Why don’t you add a time limit to the sellings on the trading post? If you reduce a bit the listing fee (10% maybe or you can use differnt fees depending the sell price) you can make to work this way, when a player puts an item on the TP the listing can stay on only for a certain amount of time, this time can be fixed or variable depending the sell price, after that time is passed the post is removed and the item returns to it’s owner but the fee is lost. This way it’s possible to avoid scenarios like “I have plenty of gold so I can put items at very high price because sooner or later I’ll sell it” and with this modification players are forced to set items at a resonable price to not waste moneys, the way the TP works right now permits to the players with a lot of money (like the gold gainded with the goldskull exploit) to easily control the market because the can simply buy all the copies of a certain item then re-sell at higher price making them raise over and over like the ectos (right now at 38 silver). But this system can work only if the loot chances are raised a bit, I’m aware that some items are supposed to be rare but with DR + mobs that don’t drop anything or drop only crap the prices simply goes up and poor players (like me that i’ve never had more than 100G and i gained that with a stroke of fortune at the Lost Shores event) can’t afford it.
