Guild Wars 2

Can’t Always Sell on Trading Post;
This is a new problem since the last patch.

Sometimes it works fine, sometimes for hours I cannot sell anything on the TP.

This is always an on and off issue with the tp. For me restarting the client helps, but on occasion, waiting it out is all that works. Sometimes just deleting the contents of one single folder fixes most t kitten ues (it fixed my inability to buy gems), you may want to read all steps, but try that one first.

I’ll post the list of basic troubleshooting steps for Mac, but if they don’t work, view the submit a ticket sticky and do so, then come back here with what did work for you. [length warning]

I’ve read some posts that t kitten ues may be caused by firewalls and/or anti virus programs. You may want to ensure that gw2 has exceptions made for those. You can troubleshoot by temporarily disabling these and try to recreate the issue (this includes router firewalls also).

Here is something to try if you are on a home/personal network, it will not work if it is a university or public connection, use the instructions or code 7.x:

I personally use QoS with priority set to high. Port forwarding requires static ip addresses.

Fixing gw2 steps:

1.) run software update to ensure all drivers and os are up to date.

2.) try repairing disk permissions via Disk Utility first. Then…

3.) repair the client install

Open Terminal

Type the following:

/applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -repair

You can copy and paste that in, but (check the dash) you must change the dash before the word USE or this will fail the forum shows an em dash (—), but it is supposed to be 2 consecutive en dashes (-). Run it and let it go until finished. FYI if you type the command yourself or paste it, they are 2 dashes (-) side by side… I’m noticing one sometimes looks like an em dash… It’s 2 en dashes though. (the dash before USE is 2 regular dashes)… Reiterated due to previous confusion about that dash on these forums.

3.)Perhaps after doing that, if it doesn’t work, you can try to delete the contents of the gw2 data folder, it’s a pain to get to the right one: this step is a general fix for many t kitten ues, even without the previous steps

Mine is located under the hidden Library folder (navigate using finder, do not use spotlight to search)

/[yourharddrivename]/users/[yourusername]/library/application support/guild wars 2

You may want to copy/paste this folder to your desktop as a temporary back up, just in case.

Delete the contents of that specific folder (you should see files like this contained within “config, dyndata.dat, user.reg, userdef.reg, and folders p_drive and wineserver…namestuff…loca..[long name]” just to list a few), then re-run the client..

~~Your folder is probably hidden (as is the default). Hidden folders appear as greyed out text and icons. I found this after googling:

http://m.wikihow.com/See-Hidden-Folders-on-Mac-OS-X-and-Other-Recent-Models

Others claim alt+clicking a file/folder unhides the contents, but that was never successful for me. At least the link has visuals for you. Hope it helps.

4.) If none of this works, check the sticky and submit a ticket, then please come back here and report the fix that worked for you.

Hope this helps. Please follow up with what worked for you

Also, sometimes the game itself will block too many consecutive attempts to sell as a means to most likely prevent botting.

Also, sometimes the game itself will block too many consecutive attempts to sell as a means to most likely prevent botting.

I wouldn’t think so, I’m just trying to get rid of the stuff I’m crafting (levelling my crafts).

I can’t even sell my spare carrots.

It worked for a while, and now it stopped working again.

Are you getting an error while selling (red text next to the sell button) or the continuous spinning gold circle at any time loading the trading post?

Have you tried any of the steps I’ve listed yet?

As I mentioned, on occasion, the tp plays up for me also, usually a client restart can fix it, but sometimes, it just won’t load and all one can do is wait it out.
