I’ve noticed this problem some time ago but I didn’t think much of it until the reports of bugged dungeon rewards started pouring in: dear ANet, check how you’re storing and comparing your time stamps.

I’ve noticed that bug on TP and I am aware that they might as well not be connected at all, still I’ll point it out just in case:
When I put stuff up for sale, the “x time ago” text is almost never right. I haven’t tested it extensively but I recall playing whole Saturday once, putting stuff for sale in the morning and in the evening still having it marked as “few seconds ago”.

If other stuff in game that was done hours before (like, running a dungeon, or starting it) is affected in similar way, it could explain at least some of the bizzare dungeon penalties people are running into.

In case it’s time zone related, I play in EU, GMT+1.

I remember a while ago some forum posts were saying “posted: 2 minutes from now” (meaning in the future).

Maybe Arena Net has alien technology, or maybe just some buggy clocks.
