This is definately a problem. I haven’t had the game for more than a couple of weeks, and am generally satisfied with it. I have attempted to use the trading post only twice…. once my first day, and now once today. On my first day I was able to browse through endless amounts of items and gear. Of course, being a new toon there wasn’t much that intrested me to buy at that time. Selling did not seem a worth while endeavor, as I could not sell for less than the vender price, (makes perfect sense), and the offers to buy WERE less than the vender price. To make matters worse, the lowest selling price would grant me a single copper more than selling to a vender. That did not make sense as I would be charged a fee to sell, therefore actually selling under the vendor price…lol. Blah blah, getting long winded…. anyway, today attempted to open the trading post to buy some gems, and have the aforementioned ERROR: invalid authorization. I have seen mention of Mumble and other programs, none of which I have. I don’t run anything but GW2. I have seen mention that running as admin works for some, it does not for me. (Also don’t really see how that changes in-game content… I doubt the programmers created a line that says, “Trading Post accessable to Admins Only!”) I want to see the trading post fixed and am submitting a ticket as I type here, screenshot and all, however, other than getting some gems once in a while, I don’t see the value of its use at this time.
Sorry I took up so much space, tried to be thorough, threw in some opinion…personal experience…blah blah… I am my father’s son after all… lol =]
