It's not like people did tell them, anyway. I doubt it's because of technical issues. People already got a few golds farmed up while the GEM price still racets in the copper.
If the Trade post wouldn't have been down, we all would swim in hundrets of gold, and given that the GEM Trade is down too now, this would have meant we all would have 5000+ GEMs for our "tiny" Gold amounts, in our pockets by today.
How do you unlock your storage space TODAY? Exactly, only by BUYING GEMS for real money. If the trading post and the gem trade wouldn't have been down, no one would buy gems for those unlocks.
You do realize that after the AH is up the price of gems will skyrocket pretty fast, don't you? Unless this would be the first game where in-game currency is actually hard to come by.

ANET is likely to insitute a ceeling on the amount you can sell gems for to both combat gold famers (it being cheaper to buy it directly from them) and to help curb inflation.
