When will the Trading Post bug be fixed?

[Jura.2170]

Last year the Trading Post got a bug

 

If you try to sell something on it, it should normally do it straight away

 

But the bug was, it freezes for 10 seconds or more, sometimes up to a minute

 

and looks like this

 


 

Could the devs please fix the bug? We've been waiting more than a year, and nothing's happened

[YtseJam.9784]

yeah it's been the slowest it's ever been, idk what it is doing while it's waiting there disabled, if you check your inventory it's already gone, so the transaction has been completed, but the UI is waiting on god knows what.

Have you tried clearing your GW2 cache? That may help.

[Jura.2170]

What will clearing cache do to the game?

 

Will I loose my settings or anything else?

Here is an article from the Knowledge Base:

Hitting the 'x' will close the window and you don't have to wait for the 'close' pop-up. If you watch carefully you can see a little birdie fly by your character which indicates the transaction is complete as soon as you post it.

The bird doesnt appear until the end of the wait

I cleared my cache, and the bug is still happening

Then, as the official KB article suggests, contact the CS Team.

 

Good luck.

Are you receiving the gold for items sold? I had this, and it wasn't for a while until I realised I wasn't receiving anything for items I sold. Now the Trading Post is completely useless as all it does it steal any item I list/instantly sell without giving me gold. They don't even show in the transaction tab.

Most times I think so

 

but there was once last month, I tried selling a whole stack of masterwork gear. It went from my inventory but never showed in the transaction window, and I didnt get any money

I started to develop a love-hate relationship with this game...

Problem with TP is its not technically a "part of the game". Its a separate browser that can only be accessed from inside the game. What is slowing it down? The massive amount of transactions that happen every hour, every day. As a matter of fact, there are so many transactions that when you list an item on TP, that item gets "deleted" and a new one is being created in it's stead in the TP, so all records of who owned it is gone. That is, why I believe, there is no preliminary fix for the TP. No ANET dev has access to it except a handful of higher ups, and they know meddling or breaking something on the TP could result in the market destabilizing.
