Guild Wars 2

Hi there!

We all know that the trading post has a lot of issues:

- some filters don’t work at all.
- some filters are missing (light, medium, heavy armour someone?)
- it’s slow
- often you can’t access it properly (selling items or transactions just don’t load)
- you can’t preview items
- sometimes you want to sell all items of one kind, but only a few get sold and then you have to sell the rest AGAIN. Although the maximum amount was ticked.

And I don’t know if this is right, but is it possible that you can’t sell items under the price you get from ordinary traders, but together with the selling fee yo earn LESS than if you sold it at a regular vendor? If this is true, how about raising the minimum price to the proper value AFTER the trading fee has been deducted?

I mean, the game is running for half a year now. How long does it take to fix the auction house, which is always an important part of an MMORPG? (I don’t care if certain players don’t use it, I do, regularly, and so do a lot of others)

I write this because I am especially mad at the moment, as after finishing almost everything of my daily quest I ported to Hoelbrak to sell my stuff and accomplish the last task, visiting a laurel vendor. But the acution house just didn’t want to load the stuff I had in my inventory to sell it, so I had to google a solution (delete the local.dat), and then it worked, and when I had finished I had to notice that the time has passed, it was 01:01 (in Germany a new GW2 day starts at 01:00), and I had missed my daily quest.

Although I can’t deny it’s my own fault I didn’t get my daily laurel, I also can’t deny that if the TP had worked correctly, I would have received it. So please, show some level of competence and please fix the trading post. It’s a shame that one of the best MMORPGs out there has one of the worst auction houses ever.

Should get fixed eventually.

- it’s slow

Can’t be fixed, as it’s due to the tp actually being a website.

- you can’t preview items

Supposed to be fixed with the Flame&Frost: Gathering Storm update next week.

- sometimes you want to sell all items of one kind, but only a few get sold and then you have to sell the rest AGAIN. Although the maximum amount was ticked.

Never seen this one.

Reasonable change. Takes 10min of developer time and 3 days of QA. There’s more important things to do….

Long. Anet doesn’t have nearly enough coders. And there’s more important stuff for them to fix, like actual gameplay.

…. I had missed my daily quest….

Your own fault entirely. You were close to the rollover and let yourself get distracted.
