Its already getting annoying for me.... the auction house is down since launch! Economy is very importan in a MMORPG, why they don't fix it?
i really don't see GW2 in the far horizon for me
Its down because ANET wanted to connect all the servers together but underestimated how much of a load that would be on the servers, especially since you can access it from anywhere in the world.
That being said Auction house doesn't make an economy. Playres are just freaking lazy these days
Excuses in defense of Anet are getting interesting every day.
Its not an excuse its the fact. All the servers AHs are connected. I don't know of any other game that does this. You can access the AH from any where in the world. I don't know of any other game that does this. The load on it is going to be higher. Higher load = more prone to issues, issues that wouldn't be found out in BWE or internal testing.
That's an excuse alright, and a weak one too. It's completely unecessary to have all the servers trading with each other, there's more than enough people on each server to trade with. It's been long enough now that we should all be using the AH even if it's only on our home servers. And the AH definitely makes the economy, don't try to blame players for Anets foolish ideas.
Look on the bright side. The gem store has worked flawlessly since day 1.

I know the game which does it. it is called The Secret World and you know how much it got slammed for broken market feature? how ever when i said excuses i was referring to the part where you called players lazy and that AH doesn't make economy.
Besides the part where you failed to recognize the population difference (which was central to the poster's point that you were quoting), didn't TSW not even release with an auction house? Or is that wrong?
And you failed to recognise that that wasn't the 'excuse' iw as referring too. I merely gave an example of another MMO which used market feature across the servers.
The TSW market house was taken down one day before release.
Still wish it didn't to be honest, but it did launch with a means of secure trading. Something GW2 does not have until they get the AH working.
In a similar vein, I really wish they would add face to face trading.
Agree, but even then for that to work they'd need to fix moving between instances.
Basically two fundamental mechanics broken since release, i.e. being able to securely trade, and be in the same instance as the person one wants to group with.
I see people having problems with the overflow servers. We've been fine so far. Just invite people, right click the name of a person in an overflow server, click join and everyone is there. Not that there aren't people suffering from issues.
On a side note, overflow servers are already much less common for me. Lions Arch and an occasional starter zone. As the population spreads out, it seems to be doing wonders for keeping me out of overflow servers.
I used to give the same advise, until I had friends join and started to try and use it. It simply does not work reliably, in fact seldom. One clicks on "join" and nothing happens. I've even had it where my active character (to others in the group ) was my highest level one, while actually playing another. So when it did work my friends still ended up in the wrong instance.
Having only a percent of people with access, and no indication of when you have access outside of constantly checking is worse then not having a trade feature at all.
Welcome to paid alpha.
Exactly. You cannot only give access to game features to some players and not others. Well, obviously you CAN.. but it's bad.
My bank is full of stuff I would love to see on the AH but cannot. My alternative is to vendor them, vendor something else, or buy gems to increase my bank size. Yay...
Don't get me wrong. It's not the end of the word, but it IS very dissapointing. Same as the account security. No authenticator.. really? In this day?
There are some things that you cannot anticipate, but a lot of this stuff was pretty easy to foresee.

Exactly, an AH does not make the economy better. I've just been trading with people through mail, and you know what? It seems crazy to think this but everyone I have traded with so far has been honest and trustworthy because there is no payment upon recieval options. I send someone an item and they send me money, or we trade items based soley on trust that neither of us will scam.
To me, this is much better than soulessly searching through a list of items.

Apparently not as one of my friends work up today to find he was permabanned.. looking in the acct it shows last accessed from Connecticut even though he lives in Indiana. Maybe if the IP verification actualy worked it would be worth mentioning.
Yes i am sure he will get his acct unbanned... but how long will that take. Again.. very foreseeable issue. Very preventable.

Yes, players are lazy. I perfer sandbox MMOs were you have to build the economy yourself. But I know I'm not in the norm. An economy is built by supply and demand. If players really want to buy and sell things, then they'll pick a trading hub and do it. They aren't because the AH will work eventually
Erm, you're saying players are lazy when you yourself know you're kinda abnormal?
From another perspective, maybe it's because people don't want to waste time when there's something more efficient and convenient out there? Like pigeon mail vs e-mail, for example?
You might want to stay in the Stone Age where people are less "lazy" coz they have to do everything themselves, but most of us have already advanced to the Information Age fyi.

The bottom line is that people just want to play. Be it the AH.. or account security. In this day and age, there is sooo much money being thrown at "games" that companies need to look at the basics and lock them down.
I live by the motto: Say what you mean and do what you say.
If you sell me something, charge me whatever you need to, but deliver on what you sell.

i understand wat has been said here, but its kinda unaceptable because many ppl will reach 1st lvl 80 faster than the trader will be back online... i mean, they could have bought better items and have a better game experience like i did cauz luckily 1 night the trader was open for me and i bought right away gold gear n stuff...

The Trade Post was taken down due to an exploit that was found. These things take time to fix and I am sure they want to make sure nothing like this will happen again. Unfortunetly for them they thought it was in working order when in fact it was not once headstart happened. No biggy really just sell your stuff in zones.

But really not having the trade post is really getting aggrivating. I'm a crafter, I will level slower because I'm distracted with crafting and not having access to the TP for those creature drop mechanics is getting aggrivating as I have to farm certain mobs especially since the drop rate isn't all that great. An hour and only got a handful of fang/claws. To make matters worse is how the pricing is completely fucked up. People selling crafted items/drops (blues/greens) at vendor price while the materials are ridiculously more. Like a 56-76 copper priced item while the mats are priced at 6-10 silver.

Thats pretty immature of you to insult players because Anet does not have some of their features available. Pretty much every mmo has an auction house these days, berating players for not spamming WTS WTB in a capital city for 30+ minutes for every item they want to sell or buy makes you look unintelligent.
Originally posted by RCP_utIts available for 50% of players already. It soon will be fixed and when it happens its an amazing feature..Im simply loving the game and its not the trading post not working fow now that will change that
its still really really slow and a little bit buggy, but it'll be 100% probably by mid sep.

It's the trend. Group activities get simplified to a convenient buttom push (Looking for Group/Raid or some similar system, lack of need for party invites in GW2's open world), the Trading Post represents the pinnacle of such simplification on the economy side - you get all servers linked together to accept sales and buy orders from anywhere.It's still an amazing technological feat though, no wonder they grossly underestimated the required load if they offered features never seen before (interacting with the Trading Post from anywhere while being linked to all other servers), there was simply no groundwork for an accurate estimative even with all the BWE's and Stress Tests, people won't play the game as they would play on live, especially the economy when it is all just going to be wiped later.
Exactly. If more people realized how these features actually worked they would be more appreciative that they work at all
The thing is, most of us knew about this already. We already PAID for the game. The game was supposed to have this. I like GW2 but Arena Net doesn't get a pass for this launch.

Totally agree. If this was any (or many) other mmo's people would be wining more. People are (or were) giddy on fanboi-isum are unwilling to admit it's a big f up. No auction house lowers the game experience and players opinion on Anet.

You pay electrician to wire your house. It doesnt work for atleast a week after its done is that ok you wontget mad cause you dont understand how it works? you pay for something you expect to get what you pay for. Ill give a few day grace period for launch. I love the game but still disappointed on that part.
No one here will pay for somethign and say its ok it doesnt work.
Don't get offended because you were called lazy in this case. I know I am lazy. Laziness is what drives the human race towards convenient solutions.
"Laziness (also called indolence) is a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so. It is often used as a pejorative; related terms for a person seen to be lazy include couch potato, slacker, and bludger."
Working with this wikipedia definition it's clear we are just complaining about the lack of TP while we could do like others and trade via mail and communicate to find the sellers/buyers. I bet there are people getting rich that way since the lack of a centralized pricing makes it easier to profit if you know how it works, less people actively engaged due to the reduced efficiency.
Back on the TSW comparison, so it didn't work on launch either? Plus, could you access it from anywhere or did you need to interact with specific NPCs? If so, how common were those NPCs? With this information we can draw a comparison, keep in mind Funcom released the information that their sales expectations were set too high, so we're looking at the opposite infrastructure estimative of GW2.

Don't get offended because you were called lazy in this case. I know I am lazy. Laziness is what drives the human race towards convenient solutions.
"Laziness (also called indolence) is a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so. It is often used as a pejorative; related terms for a person seen to be lazy include couch potato, slacker, and bludger."
Working with this wikipedia definition it's clear we are just complaining about the lack of TP while we could do like others and trade via mail and communicate to find the sellers/buyers. I bet there are people getting rich that way since the lack of a centralized pricing makes it easier to profit if you know how it works, less people actively engaged due to the reduced efficiency.
Back on the TSW comparison, so it didn't work on launch either? Plus, could you access it from anywhere or did you need to interact with specific NPCs? If so, how common were those NPCs? With this information we can draw a comparison, keep in mind Funcom released the information that their sales expectations were set too high, so we're looking at the opposite infrastructure estimative of GW2.
