Guild Wars 2

So over the past week I’ve pretty much encountered this error whenever trying to sell between my 8th and 12th item onward: after successfully selling any quantity of 7 or so different items I continually fail to sell any item after that unless I close and re-open the BLTP. Once I re-open the TP I’m able to sell one item before receiving the error message again. Is there any other info on this kind of error?

“Error Attepting to Sell” is intended to be on Trading Post to interrupt bots. I have been playing Guild Wars 2 for a year and it is the only thing I know in the game that is infuriating me. To avoid this error, sell stuff in five seconds interval. Alternatively, you can wait for another thirty seconds up to a minute and sell stuff on Trading Post.

I’m still hoping that Arena Net will remove Error Attempting to Sell.

I’ve had this bug since launch. I’ve only ever been able to sell 8 things at a time.

Imagine:

• Player ‘reqche’ requests 10 ‘items’ for 1s each.
• Player ‘reqexp’ requests 10 ‘items’ for 2s each.
• Player ‘sellfirst’ has 5 ‘items’ to sell
• Player ‘you’ has 10 ‘items’ to sell.

• ‘You’ opens the TP, prepares to sell his 10 ‘items’. The TP answers that the current highest bidder offers 2s for each.
• ‘You’ keeps the TP open for another hours and goes afK.
• During that hour ‘sellfirst’ sells all 5 of his ‘items’ to the highest bidder for 2s each.
• ‘reqexp’ still requests 5 ‘items’ for 2s each.
• ‘You’ ‘s TP hasn’t updated the latest info, still showing to sell 10 ‘items’. ‘You’ agrees to sell 10 ‘items’ for 2s each.
• “Error Attemping sell”

TLDR;
you are too slow.

I have no idea what your on about…………………..

I also get this error, why would ArenaNet build in what looks like sloppy programming as an attempt to stop bots.

Why don’t they just tell us what it is, instead of us just having to post on here.

eg :- Anet “It’s a bot deterent”.
Anet " It’s a bug but low on the priority list".

Just come clean and tell us what it is, it’s really annoying when you have some 150 items to sell.

You don’t get it.

There are 25 orders of Steel Ingot, 2s each. You want to sell 50 of them.
The next offer down the street is 1s 85c. Trading Post can’t let you sell the remaining 25 Ingots for 2s each because no one is buying them at that price anymore.
Error triggers and tells you you’ve only managed to sell 25.

Except I don’t leave for an hour, hell I don’t even look away from the screen. I get this error when I move from an item I’ve just sold down to the next item and it happens consistently despite trying multiple times in a row until I’ve done as I described and closed and re-opened the TP.

That would be fine except when I close and re-open the TP the price the item is selling for hasn’t changed.

Yep, after selling the first bunch of items you have to close and reopen the TP for every subsequent item and that is very, very annoying.
