Guild Wars 2

Yes, badly needed. Got one toon in his 70s and now just entering a 70-80. I’ve run into so many bots in this area. Some on a waypoint route and others in massive piles. Even a massive pile under water.

As title says. These aren’t “puzzles”, they are just jumping annoyances having to jump perfectly extra. So I’ve just not bothered. I’ve attempted but once I’d realised they were puzzle I just gave them a miss.

These need to be tweaked to make the actual puzzles.

Just started today. Mined Iron and the display name was all in oriental text.

For example Lemons are in the Most Sort After or whatever it’s called, list, on the main area where you see what’s mostly selling etc. I had a look, there are loads of orders and some stupid ones, 1g for 1 lemon (some sort of exploit maybe?). These orders will NEVER be filled as Lemons are Account Bound. So Lemons appearing on the information page on the BLT is giving a false view.

Still a big issue.

There’s clearly BS in the original post as it’s not possible to sell anything below vendor price.

gimmethegepgun.1284:

One of the biggest problems for people trying to make money on the TP are people who list items for insignificantly lower prices than the previous low in order to get their item sold first.
On higher-end items, that 1c difference is completely and utterly meaningless, no one will even bat an eye at the difference, but it still gets the cheaper one sold first.

A way to kill this ridiculous behavior would be to prevent people from listing items for an insignificant amount less than the previous listing (say, 1 or 2 percent).
This would force people that undercut prices in order to cut in line to actually have to notice the loss.

Do you work for Apple? ;o) they don’t like competition either. It’s a free market & people can charge what they want.

This is what I get after the TP is back up and running. 1 khilbron’s legs purchased for 8g50s. There are no legs (probably delayed which is fine) but i’m still out almost 20 gold.

Looking for advisement on how to proceed.

BTW thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond it is much appreciated.

Have you looked in the I’m buying filter? It maybe have put them on as orders.

Epideme.5318:

Hopefully thats what the current downtime is for

Unfortunately it appears not to be.

Not a bug it’s just annoying (although maybe could be classed as an issue/bug). You can’t buy something lower or equal to the vendor price but some idiots are putting in orders for items for say 1c etc. Lower than the vendor price so those orders will never be filled.

I’m seeing more and more people putting in orders for items at 1c which they’ll NEVER see. Because items can’t be sold for less than their vendor value, yet so many people are stupidly putting in orders for 1 copper.

Also loads of people putting in orders for Account Bound items they’ve searched for. But they’ll also never see those as Account Bound items aren’t sellable. I see this mainly with the In Bulk chef items.

That wasn’t my point. I’m aware of “Print Screen”. The print screen button in game takes the shot and adds it to the support ticket in game. “Print Screen” won’t do that. Hence they need to make a shortcut key for it.

So as a Leatherworker I’ve just notice is it not pointless making 20 slot bags? The component needed to produce them is on the Master Leatherworker for 10 gold. No one is going to pay that much for a bag if you want to sell it on. So the only other option is buying it from the Gem store with real money.

Or is the component a drop as well? Seems this is the way they are pushing people to pay real money.

So what’s the point of the Town Clothing tab? I know RPers like this but there appears to be no where on the Trading Post to buy stuff? To leather workers make Town Clothing? Seems to be an oversight. Unless they are planning on flogging the Town Clothing stuff on the gem store.

Is there a time limit for items I put up for sale? Like 30 days? Because some items aren’t selling, I’d like to relist but don’t want to lose the listing fee. I assume if they had an expire limit then you’d get the listing fee returned too?

Or is there an expire limit but you still lose the listing fee?

Jamesborg.8906:

I’m missing a few discoveries because I don’t know where to find Cumin, Lemon, etc.
Those are examples of something I had to look up on Guild Head, I wanna go and make one trip around on my 80 and buy ’em all for discovery purposes.

Go to gw2db (google it) they have a searchable database. But bare in mind the recent removable of choc bars etc off the vendors.

The block and profanity filter is there for a reason. This assumes you’ve turned off the profanity filter for some odd reason considering swearing appears to offend you.

Sin.8174:

Free…market?

Buy it and resell. I’m lazy, want quick gold, so with 90% of my junk, I fill orders.

Anything that doesn’t have orders for, I just vendor. At the early stages of the game, people don’t really care about all this stuff. Those with experience in the game, those who’ve learned to play the system, whom have reached the higher levels, are but a minority.

Just look at it as more profit for a resale.

I came here to make this very thread but someone beat me to it. And you, appear to have totally missed the point.

The point is, I’ve just vendored a loud of stuff I could of put on the TP. Why? Because all the items I had were on the vendor for 1c above the vendor price. What did this mean? It meant it was a total waste of my time and money putting the items up. Because they wouldn’t sell at my higher price because of the under cutters. “It’s a free market, uncutting is good”. Yes it is. The point is all these people are actually losing money because of the 5% listing fee and then the 10% on sale. So it works out more profitable for me, to sell all my stuff to the vendor. Because all those people selling for 1c over the vendor seem to not realise there is a listing fee, sales tax and then they end up with less money than if they’d just sold the stuff to a vendor.

That is the point of this thread and the very point you seem to have totally missed.

It’s in the wiki, but yes, it should also be pointed out on the TP but it’s not.

Add a shortcut button. There is a display issue with Black Lion Chests in TP but I couldn’t show the issue with the tooltip display as I have to move my mouse away to take screenshot, meaning the screenshot button is useless without a shortcut.

DayoftheGreek.6938:

I think this fix makes a ton of sense. Previously cooking took about 1 hour, 1gold, and 1 thousand karma to level from 1-400. "

news to me. i spent way more then that and i am just now 250. i have been working on it since launch.

AprilRain.7649 —- shame on you. you can not blame all of us.not everyone abused it.

i see it is wake up time for the trolls. many of us never abused this yet we have to suffer because of it. i am assuming that anyone telling us to get over it or take a breather has their cooking up to 400 by now and could care less.

i had to try to get as much butter as i could this morning because the price is going up. people are greedy and some people had TONS stockpiled before hand.

I don’t think it’s about already being at 400, I think it’s the realisation that when we picked Chef, we were told it was an advance class, that it would be hard and expensive. It turned out to be easier than the other professions, which always confused, again because the trainer had told me it would be hard.

Now, annoying as it is, it’s in line with the other crafting professions.

Although I don’t like the change, I guess I can see why it was done. When I picked up Chef it said it was an advanced class and would require more money than the others & suggested it was more complex. But it turned out to be easier I felt. Being able to buy a lot of the ingredients in bulk helped. A few hours in WvW gave me enough Karma to buy what I needed.

The change, for people who, like me, started in Chef when we could buy said goods in bulk, it was/is a nasty change. But really it’s now in line with the other crafting skills that can only get items via loot drops.

Just glad I finished Chef last night, this move doesn’t really make me want to go back to it though. Considering all food crafted, even the high end stuff, people were only willing to pay peanuts for it on the TP, making it worthless as the resource costs more than what they wanted to pay.

Glad this change happened. Rather than getting what you need from the game directly from vendors you now have to get it from enemies and the world just like the other crafts. It also means that more player to player trading can take place since your items can now be purchased from each other.

Apart from the eggs and oranges I have appear to be soulbound so untradable.

Even after this change?

Well, if that’s the case, then please ignore what I said. Thanks for correcting me.

Yes, but oddly only a certain batch of mine. The others I have are tradable. Odd.

I also have eggs and oranges I could sell but can’t as they are stupidly soulbound.

splatomat.9370:

Either this is a terrible bug, and it should be fixed soon…

Or it was a slimy change that was slipped in without any notice whatsoever, and it should be reverted.

Either way, it needs to change.

Was done on the quiet I bet because of the outcry it would cause. And people who would of stock piled so they could sell them later. I used up all my choc bars & butter last night as didn’t know this was going to happen.

Ramsey.6712:

Also Confirmed: General Karma Vendors Sell basil, Bell Peppers and Ginger Root now PER PIECE, Not by the bag (6 for basil/bell, 9 for ginger)

You can still get ginger root and bell in bulk from the master chef.

Needs a confirm button. The amount of times I’ve accidentally click for a trait field I didn’t want. Then you have to spend coin resetting them.

They seem to be keeping quiet in the hope people don’t notice nerfs and moan. Like chef they’ve removed butter and choc bars off the vendors making it harder and people aren’t happy.

The Trading Post really needs to be clear on the sales tax. I’m currently on the TP and looking at Strong Rifle of Grawl Slaying. There are people selling it for 1s 48, 117, plus the 7c listing fee, then the sales tax if they sell it. They lose a lot, but if they sold it to a vendor, they’d get 1s 47c.

I really don’t think a lot of people are seeing either the list fee or/and defiantly aren’t aware of the 10% sales tax.

argyre.4251:

I believe I’ve found a math error with trading post sell calculations. I don’t know if this has been mentioned already, or there’s always the possibility that I’m crunching numbers incorrectly, but here goes:

Let’s say I buy 250 Copper Ore at 17 copper each. That comes out to a cost of 42.50 silver. If I then sell those Copper Ore at 21 copper each my subtotal would be 52.50 silver, minus the listing fee of 2.63 silver, for a total of 49.87 silver. When the sale actually goes through however, I receive 47.27.

What’s happening to the rest of it?

This is because it’s not being made clear in game that there is a 10% sales tax.

Account Bound items are still searchable on the Trading Post and people keep putting orders in they’ll never see as Account Bound items can’t be sold.

Cliff, can we get a response on the I’m Selling page. The fact you can only see a few items you’re selling. So if, like me, you have over 100 of an item you put up a few days ago, yet new items on sale that aren’t selling. So I now can’t see the over 100 Lion boxes I had for sale that I know haven’t sold. Meaning I can’t cancel the sale to try and relist them.

MadChef.4203:

I scanned through this thread and I don’t think anyone has written about this issue yet…

When buying quantities of a single item that are divisible by 10 (10, 20, 30, etc…), the system seems to be dropping the 0 in the quantity amount, but keeping the full amount you are being charged.

For instance, I just tried to buy 40 onions and 40 carrots. I was charged the full price for 40 of each, but I only received 4 of each.

Is there any way I can get reimbursed for this?

As you probably know by now from reading the other posts. This is because as you clicked buy, someone else probably bought those. The rest of your money should be in the pick-up box or still on the I’m Buying section as it’s now put them into order mode for when more come in and the price you paid.

Those items sold through the night but I have only 9 silver 53 copper in the pick up tab. Where is the rest?

I believe there is a listing fee, and a fee on sale but I may be wrong.

The listing fee is consumed from your money instantly (when you put the item for sale), so this fee should not occur again when it is sold successfully (at least nothing in the TP lets me know, that there is a second fee). So I assume this is either a bug (double fee, whatever) or another UI-issue (like not displaying there are multiple fees, being charged at different times)

It’s a 10% sales tax. But yes, the Trading Post should tell you that but it doesn’t. Instead, it’s buried in the wiki somewhere (I haven’t got the link).

We desperately need a page tab on the My Transactions page. Because it only shows the last few items put up for sale. Yet I have over 100 Black Lion Locked boxes on sale that haven’t sold. I can’t get them back to relist until all the newer stuff sells. And due to the new stuff not selling as well, its been days since I’ve seen the boxes.

Annoying sales tax. You get a listing fee but also when you sell you also get hit with 10% of the sale. My maths is rubbish so not even sure I’m making money on selling leather I purchase cheap and then sell on. I think the sales tax needs to be dropped or at least lowered to 5%. Overall you get charge 15% when selling anything. A player told me then I found it buried in GW’s wiki.
