Guild Wars 2

Somehow today half the money on my character mysteriously vanished. Twice!

First time, I purchased 3 runes of holding from a VENDOR (not from the TP). I made careful note when purchasing these that I had 1G + some change left over to use on other crafting. I went to the armor smithing station, banged out 3x 12 slot steel boxes and then opened the Trading Post to buy the materials I needed for the crafting leveling. My cash was listed as ~50 silver. In less than 60 seconds 50 silver disappeared without me making a single purchase!

Due to my money disappearing, I wasn’t quite able to get my crafting to the level I planned and exhausted all my funds trying. Long story short, ran a story quest, accrued repair bills and didn’t earn any cash to pay for repair bills or waypoing usage. This left me with the only option of footing it to the closest area of my level to earn some cash. Cleared some events on the way and earned the ~1.5s I needed to repair my gear. HOWEVER, when I found a repair vendor (also on the way to the area at my level) my money had once again halved to less than a silver leaving me short on the repair bill!

The first time the money disappeared I thought it could perhaps be related to crafting recipes having a hidden fee. However that wouldn’t explain the second loss because it happened while I was out fighting and NOT crafting NOR using the trading post.
