Bidding 1 copper higher isn’t really offering more gold. You have to hammer 1 copper bids for days if you want gold to be factor. A 1% minimum would stop people from doing 1 copper raise on precursors. If you want the item you should be

willing to pay more

Edit: Found a similar topic https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Market-Bot which has all the info I was looking for ^^ Seems there are plenty of bots and the problem has been ignored for over a year -__-

Thank you for all responses

So whenever someone gets outbid after an hour, it’s because it was that someone else was botting?

Exactly what item were you trying to buy?

Didn’t tell the whole story to keep it short but ok the item in question was a PTV pistol for testing a build on a new character. Thinking an aggressive raise would make me more likely to get the item in an hour I put 30 silver instead of a copper but ended up that when I got back I had to do the 1 copper dance with someone for a good hour and a half to the point where got irritated and bought the item upfront. The person outbidding me checked the item like clockwork every 5 minute ignoring that I outbid him every time. An active player would have noticed the outbid which is why I suspect a bot.

Fine call at a trading post >_>

But really I can’t be the only one bugged by this market botting

"Compact" not working as intended

Invisible bags tooltip claim that items will not move when you use compact but having one piece of bloodstone dust in your inventory will cause it to move the the stacks from your invisible bag into the rest of the loot. (only happens if you have the same item in your normal bag as you do in the invisible one)

Glitch is most likely a sub-class of the sorting not picking up on the restriction.

Was buying a 2 gold item of the market and made a fair 30 silver raise. After an hour I checked once more only to find 4 new bids that were 1, 2, 3 and 4 copper higher.

In a real auction you can’t just offer one million dollars and one cent as an outbid and seeing this in guild wars frustrating. It ends up as a test of endurance instead of gold and that is in heavy favour of market bots.

Please restrict it somehow. A 1% minimum raise would be a gift from heaven
