where do I begin?

do I start with the fact when you arrange by price, then click on the cheapest, it changes to the REAL current price which is noway near the cheapest, making the search filter useless?

or do I mention the search results showing zero availbale, then when u go into it, it takes u directly to the “place order” mode, but then u click “buy instantly” and sure enough there actually ARE many available to buy? again.. useless search results.

or when you click “only show available” it shows items that are not available

the list goes on… why have a search function if all it does is link you to the item you want to buy/sell? we can access this directly without a search by right clicking an item and clicking “sell on trading post” or “buy more at trading post”.

I’m sorry but the search function of the trading post is so very broken. You guys should seriously look at the functionality of this trading post as it’s a vital part of any mmo.
Maybe you need to set up more searching bots to update the search database tables, I dunno, but it doesn’t work properly so I’m reporting it here.

It’s been a long time now since the game was launch and I know there have been many issues with the trading post, I just hope you guys are working to fix them all, including this one.

Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)

Agreed with the Trading Post search being broken and needing an overhaul.

I’d like to add to your above post, that the categories need an overhaul as well.
1. Some items exist in no search category at all, which makes it harder to find those items on the Trading Post.
2. For armour, it really needs a search category for Light/Medium/Heavy (above the category for Head/Feet/Chest/Legs/Shoulders).

^^^ +100

filter by armour type would be a huge help.

pricing issue needs resolved as well, having just really started spending more time at the tp it’s starting to get annoying.
