Auction House
So, I activated (bought HoT) the game yesterday and I just hate to wait 4 days until I can sell/buy certain items.
Is there a way to get rid of this or do I have to wait 4 days?
You have to wait out the duration (total elapsed time: 5 calendar days).
It’s intended to reduce fraud. For example, account thieves will use a stolen credit card to purchase the game and use the TP to sell off the account’s tradeable items. This gives ANet’s retailers and the banks time to doubly verify that everything is on the up and up.
Obviously, it’s horribly annoying and I wish that ANet would do a better job of letting folks know why these restrictions are so important to the health of the game.
