Guild Wars 2

So, I don’t know if this is intended but since a recent patch the darn interface when selling or buying is AGGRAVATING because your coursor to type in a desired price will be placed in a window as soon as your mouse hovers over it. Before, you had to click it. Which was way better.

To add to this, when you change the side from buying to selling or vice versa (because when would you ever instantly sell), suddenly it doesn’t work anymore. And clicking on the arrows to raise/lower the current tab (gold/silver/copper) will just cause the gold part to rise. So I end up trying to sell my blueberry for 4g and a few copper, causing me to have to close the window or flip sides from buy to sell again so the coursor will be placed with hovering again (which is, again, worse than clicking the desired tab).

It’s extremely frustrating and unintuitive and way worse than the way it was before.

I agree. I don’t like the “feature” whereby moving the cursor over the field moves the focus; I prefer it work like every other website: you have to click in or tab to the field.

However, given this is the way the UI works now, I’ve found two reliable workarounds:

• Move the cursor from the bottom of the field, e.g. from underneath “copper” or
• Start with the gold field and use [tab] and/or [shift+tab] to move the focus forward or backward (respectively).

After a little practice, I can get either of those methods to work nearly 100% of the time without paying much attention. (I still prefer the standard system; I’ve just gotten used to the current setup.)

Hope that is of some help, while they fix the bug with focusing (or better yet: go back to the customary system everyone else uses).

This reminds me, I’ve always been very annoyed with how laggy the trading post is since it got that big update. The game shouldn’t try to update everything with every single key press.

It could reduce server load 10-fold easily if there was some type of delay and it would make it a far more enjoyable experience for the player as well.

isnt that simply a broken website? broken for a long time?
I hate the mouse over = select field
That is not good, anet. The page does not work

Lyp Sao.1375:

It’s bad design. I can get it to work 100% of the time; it’s just more trouble than it was before to get the focus on the right field. (Although, I suppose that could be someone else’s definition of “broken.”)

There is some serious delay pulling data from the backend. I’ve almost sold several items for hugely incorrect values due to a combination of the hover over selection of fields and the delay in letting me change the values I actually want to due to how slow the TP is to pull data from the servers on some (although not all) items. I don’t remember having this problem until recently (feature patch?).
