Guild Wars 2

So I just today went to Gamestop and bought Guild Wars 2

Very excited and it’s downloading as I write this.

So far every video I’ve seen or review I’ve read has shown to me that this game will help me get away from the nuisance to my life that was World of Warcraft.

I only heard of one real negative thing that worries me.

I heard there is no trading between players, other than sending mail to each other.

If it’s true I can deal with it its not a huge deal but the video I was watching could have been from a couple months ago and it could have been added by now or something.

Other then that I’m REALLY looking forward to play and if any of you have any tips for a newbie please don’t hesitate to tell me them!

Player to player trading has not been added. It’s still only trading post and mail.

There is a stuck thread at the top of this forum with lots of tips for new people.

You can’t trade directly from one player to another.

For the majority of situations the Trading Post serves the same function as a trade feature in other games – you offer something for a set price and some random buys it, or they offer what they’re willing to pay and you can choose to sell to them.

If you want to give something to someone specific you can mail it, and they can mail you the payment (if any). Which works fine for friends who you trust to complete their side of the transaction.

So really the only issue is when you want to trade something to one specific person but don’t trust them not to try and cheat you.

Unfortunately that seems to come up surprisingly often.

Question:
Why did you post this thread as a question thread if there is no question questioning the players in this thread; it is questioning the existence of this thread, is it not?
