Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I am unsure if this is a bug or not, but I noticed something odd in the ‘add to my lowest listing’ category when selling a product.

Let’s assume that 1 month ago I bought 10x item X and put up the item for 10s each. One week later the same 1x item X was bought, but placed on the BLTC at a higher price (let’s say 11s).

Here’s the issue: if I sell the object through both conventional methods ( “Sell on trading post” —> “Select item” or “Sell at Trading Post”), only the 11s item is listed as the lowest priced item. However, all 10x item X at 10s are still present in my selling list.

Recently the local.dat file was removed from my guild wars folder (was 130 Mb and the BLTC as well as the loading screens were very slow), so I thought this may possibly explain the issue. However, prior to this posting I removed the local.dat file again, but the same issue is still at hand (item X’s lowest price is 11s, and not the 10s!).

My main question however is: Will I lose the possible revenue from the 10x item X placed at 10s or not?

If needed a support ticket can be created providing some more clear examples, but as said, I have no idea if this is considered a bug.

Best,

Or are you sure you are “selling” the item and not placing a “buy order” ? This would explain why the 11c is showing instead of the 10 c

Hello Janson and Roman,

Thanks for your reply.

I’m very sure, since the 10x Item X is still listed as 10s on page 22 or so of my “Things I’m Selling” list. If you want I can make this a ticket and supply you with screenshots.

If you could also posts screenshots here that would satisfy my curosity.
Another person was talking about this on a different forum, but with their blaming of bots, then hackers then glitches / lack of competent writing skills / general troll attitude, I thought it was just that: a troll ( as did a mod as it was shut down).

Sure. I have several items where this is happening, but the most obvious example is the “Powerful Potion of Centaur Slaying”.

As you can see on gw068.jpg (top screenshot) the item is listed in my Items I’m Selling-list for 78c per piece and was listed 15 days ago.

However, putting up a new stack on the BLTC shows that the Add to my lowest listing part is empty (middle screenshot)!

Edit Attached a third screenshot displaying the current prices on the BLTC. As you can see there are 760 units available at 78c! I just hope my 250 are still listed in there! (-:

I hope you don’t mind me blurring out all other stuff (trading secrets and such (-; )

It seems that my original message was unclear (poster removed his reply).

To illustrate the situation with regards to my original post:
- After posting previous reply a stack of the same potions was put up for 79c/piece (basically for illustration purposes).
- I bought one potion and if this potion would be sold on the BLTC again (screenshot) then the BLTC returns the 79c/piece listing as the lowest selling item (and not the 78c/piece).
- However, I do think that my 78c/piece are still on the BLTC (assuming they are part of the 750 pieces in screenshot 3 of previous post), I find it strange that their values are not returned in my ‘lowest selling item’ box.

Therefore I am wondering that IF the 78c/piece stack gets sold, will I still get the sale revenue? (:

I hope this clears it up a bit.

Thanks for your quick and clear response, Mr Smalling.

One small addition to the issue: if I do sell the 1 extra potion for 78c, it still won’t get listed as the cheapest one!

From what I can tell, it only looks at so many pages of your own listings for the purpose of determining your lowest listing. I forget how many. It’s like the most recent 5 or 10. Something like that. I just assumed it was something they did to reduce server load from queries. It is a little annoying, though.

I just confirmed the number of listings, and it is the most recent 100 listings (10 pages of listings).
