Q:
Cannot use/talk to Black Lion Trader (TP) NPCs in Rata Sum
I had that same issue about a week or so ago. I assumed they knew about it because at the time I had seen a character with the red anet symbol next to their name log in for a few seconds then vanish.
I am having this exact issue and just bug reported it.
I even moved to Lion’s Arch and setup shop there and now the same issue!!
Lol so I can’t talk to the trading company NPCs in either cities now =(
I’m having a problem talking to the trader NPC at Firebreak Fort Waypoint. Also had problems talking to the trader at Altar Brook Trading Post before.
It is a rare bug but when you get it, it is really annoying.
Im having the same problem and Im a relative n00b. it happened in Rata Sum and its the only shop area available to me. I purchased some things and now I cant pick them up. On top of that he dies after a while of my trying to talk to him. Just drops dead.
Bumping because I was looking for a solution or the nearist place I could find another black lion guy.
Well, this thread is 2 years old, and the latest post, 1 year old. Quite the necro.
You can try speaking to a BL Trader in another city, as long as you are leveled up enough to use them.
Good luck.
On top of that he dies after a while of my trying to talk to him. Just drops dead.
If a TP NPC dies is because they are maybe a Trading Post Express spawned for some player. Some of the permanent TP NPCs at Rata Sum can be found at Accountancy Waypoint.
