Trading Post - Selling Too Quickly?

Q:

Why is it, that when I list a lot of items on the Trading Post that eventually it tells me to stop and wait a few minutes. What is the point of that feature? This is so freaking annoying!

Anybody got a logical reason why Anet would do this? Thanks. ;-)

I think it might be as an anti-bitting mechanism…maybe? Not 100% sure, though!

Some say it’s an anti-market bot counter-measure, I say it’s a load control measure since the TP is server and NA/EU region wide.

A market bot’s advantage isn’t it’s speed but it’s Terminator like relentlessness, it’s ability to always be watching the entire market when a human can’t. This isn’t about high frequency trading, it’s about jumping on deals before the humans can recognize them.

But others disagree.

We are heroes. This is what we do!
