I started some trading during last weekend, after i was really annoyed with the quest/event rewards not covering the character progression at all. (as a level 25 character i was still running around with level 7 gloves, level 11 pants.. while all my money went into repairs and teleporting) .
Well now yesterday i login to see that i cannot access the Tradepost at all, and all my money is bound into trades. Ok i think – thats a stupid time to do a maintenance, but how bad can it be, it will be back in an hour or two… Two hours later it was still not back, so i decided to go sleep.
Now, almost 12 hours later, i login and – its still down for maintenance. Seriously? I wish there was at least an honest message saying “we have trouble x/y with the tradepost and therefor we have taken it temporary down” but “maintenance”? for more than 14 hours? really? we are supposed to buy that?
Well since i was hoping for a bit more information i went to the guildwars site – the only thing about the tradepost recently posted there is “John Smith” writing on the GW2 Economy 6 days ago Linkie
there he states: Before I discuss the issues with the trading post, I want to point out to those who haven’t spent time with the trading post how great it is.
No Sir, it’s not, its a website within an ingame browser, which leaves out basic usability features that we know from other games and internet shops, aswell as basic performance technics for website that your webdevs should know about.
and having it down for as long as you do means there is something horribly wrong.
Now how rather than feeding us with stuff like that how about, a rough description of the problem and an estimate when it will be back up? Don’t ruin the great and successfull launch you guys had with bad communications.
