Guild Wars 2

1) The “refresh” button, when looking at the items available at particular prices, does nothing. The only way to refresh is to click another tab on the left-hand side, then go back to the buy tab and re-enter the item name. EDIT: The refresh button seems to work with the “buy instantly” results, but not with the “place custom offer” results.

2) Interacting with another open window besides the TP (such as your crafting menu, character sheet, inventory, whatever) causes the TP to become non-responsive when you return to the TP window. What this means is that if I search for “orichalcum ore”, and then go to my crafting menu (with the TP still open in the background) to check how much orichalcum ore I need to make a particular item, and then click the TP window again to purchase said amount of orichalcum ore by typing “12” into the “quantity” field, I end up using my #1 and #2 weapon skills, because the TP no longer responds to any user input. The only solution is to re-open the TP or click another tab on the TP (transaction tab, sell tab, whatever) and then go back to the tab you were on.

3) Selecting a sub-category of “consumables” (such as food) reveals no results.

4) On the transactions tab, under the “items I’ve sold”, it sorts them by the most recently LISTED item rather than the most recently SOLD item, meaning that it’s very difficult to know what I’ve sold when I have 100 different items up for sale. This is particularly problematic for people like me who make their virtual living selling crafted items. If I list 10 different crafted items today, and they sell 2 days from now, I NEED to know that so that I can list MORE of those 10 items that sold, so that I can keep the profits rolling in. However, I cannot easily figure this out currently.

5) When selecting an item to sell, it sometimes does not default to the maximum quantity of that item in your inventory.

6) When attempting to sell an item whose listing fee exceeds one’s current funds, it says, “There was an error attempting to sell”, which isn’t very helpful and can leave someone oblivious of their insufficient funds.

7) When selecting an item in the “Transactions” tab (for example, selecting an item that you have for sale in order to check if you were undercut,) selecting “back to search results” doesn’t bring you back to the list of items in the transaction tab. This requires you to have to do what you have to do for so many other TP bugs: select another TP tab and then go back to the transaction tab to get to the proper view.

8) When selecting an item to “buy instantly”, it defaults to the lowest price currently available – which is good – but when you select the “place a custom offer”, it does not default to the highest price currently offered by others. In fact, there doesn’t seem to appear to be any pattern to what the default custom offer value is. Selecting “copper ore” from the buy tab just now, for instance, and clicking the “place custom offer” button made it default to 2c, which is neither the highest nor lowest custom offer. There appears to be no reason at all that it choose 2c.

9) When in the buy tab, after search for an item there is no way to return to the main buy menu (with the top supplied, top traded, top demanded, and top supplied items) except for, you guessed it, selecting another TP tab and then going back to the buy tab.

10) Clicking any drop-down menu on the TP (such as on the transaction tab at the top, or one of the “filter” options in the buy tab), locks out keyboard input. So if I click “items I’ve sold” to check what I’ve sold, and then want to open my inventory or respond to a PM, it doesn’t allow me. I have to left-click open space somewhere to fix it.

11) Sometimes, when listing items, it displays an error message for no apparent reason. The only fix I have been able to figure out is to very quickly select another item to sell, then go back to the first item you were trying to sell, and quickly hit the sell button. This problem seems to happen if you rapidly list multiple items, but it’s been very hard for me to figure out in what circumstances this bug happens.

There’s actually a small little website that will do it for you. tpcalc.com. Punch in the cost of an item, the amount you’re selling it for, and it will take into account the 15% TP fee and tell you how much profit you’ll make (both in raw coins and as a percentage). It’s a handy thing to use on your smart phone while doing business in the TP.

Another useful site is gw2spidy.com, which shows a graph of historical item prices for any and all GW2 items in the TP, so you can get an idea of whether or not a particular price is outrageous or not.

I created a character just to show my friend the starting human zone, so I just typed in a gibberish name and skipped to the end of character creation. However, I now can’t delete the character. I can delete both of my other characters (if I wanted to, which I don’t), but I cannot delete this gibberish character.

I think the problem may be that it automatically capitalizes the first letter when you type it in the delete text field. His exact name is “lugjwind”, WITHOUT a capital “L”, and so whenever I type his name, it automatically capitalizes the first letter, which is a problem because my character doesn’t have a capital letter in his name.
