ok … that makes sense, thank-you. What doesn’t make sense is when there’s 4000+ sellers trying to sell something for less profit than can be made selling to a NPC merchant. But I suppose that’s a whole other issue

I’ve been selling off my inventory onto the TP and I’ve noticed that the math for projected profit is way off.

For example, I’m selling Vital Superior Studded Boots for 70c, the listing fee is 4c, and my projected profit is 63c. Grade School was a long time ago, but from what I remember 70-4=66.

Where’s the other 3c going? Is anyone else seeing this?

Issue with suppressed messaging

in Dynamic Events

I’m not sure where to put this gripe… I don’t think it’s a game bug even though it needs improvement, it kind a fits with players helping players, and it’s definitely a suggestion. I’ve been getting the “Your message was suppressed due to excessive messaging” warning most when I try to announce dynamic events, so I thought I’d put it here.

Anyway, I first got this a few days ago when I was trying to get a group together for dungeon, so I thought at first that it was because I was saying the same string every 5 minutes or so (“LF3M CM Story Mode” or something like that). It’s been happening most, though, over the last couple days when I’ve been looking for help with an event or just trying to help other players find dynamic events.

It seems that when on a quiet map where I am pretty much the only one saying anything, I tend to get this notice. It happens even though I’m not repeating a spam message or messaging too often (usually every 5-10 minutes, sometimes 10-15). It gets really annoying when other players start asking for a waypoint for the event, and I can’t give it because my messages are being suppressed. What’s also really odd is the messaging gets suppressed even in party chat. I can see map or main chat, but party chat??

I understand the point of this, you don’t want the chat window cluttered with spam advertisements, but it seems to need improvement. Trying to get help with a dynamic event or help other players find dynamic events shouldn’t be suppressed as it helps with game play, especially when the map is sparsely populated and there isn’t anyone nearby to notice the event.

Maybe a function could be added for a player to quickly send out a game generated event notice when in an event. Perhaps add something similar to the CTRL+click on a way point or maybe a “/event” tag. This could then be separated from whatever criteria is being used to determine excessive messaging.

Looking for a casual guild in the Ehmry Bay...

Hi! I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 for a couple weeks now, just learning the game and playing PvE. I’m now thinking it’d like to start looking for a guild and trying out the WvW or PvP side of things.

I’ve played RPGs in the past, but this is my first experience with MMORPGs, so I’m really a newbie at this. I don’t even have a mic/headphone yet. I’d like to find a guild with casual, mature players (I’m older). Work has been busy, so I’ve been finding it hard to play more than an hour a night, if that. I play more on weekends. Currently am playing a level 19 Sylvari elementalist. I’m also in the midwest US, in CST.

If you’re interested, let me know. Thanks!
