ruikarikun.9402 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 For example I did one full meta run +some farm for a few hourse in Auric Basin. So I got many items. I'm not selling all, I have problems most with rare items. From last run I got like 40 rare items. So I'm selling like 5-10 items and then I'm starting to get annoying "You have placed too many sell orders" Error. It's annoying like hell. Did I miss something? Like I must to wait between selling, if you thik about it, just imagine how many hourse you are spending while waiting when error dissapier? If you play 24/7 it's ok but otherwise is it ok?

Ashantara.8731 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 This mechanic is in place in order to prevent botting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Can't recall ever getting that message and I sell pretty much everything I break down as I have most if not all things maxed in storage and overflows of other stuff on alts.. I'm going to try and force that message now just out of curiosity :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I get this all of the time. It started happening after HoT was released. There was a bug report for it in the Bug Report thread, but nothing ever came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallist.5917 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It's not an error. Its been there since launch, and the only thing they have adjusted is the threshold at which point it pops. As Ashantara pointed out. It's a mechanic to slow down the bots and help keep the market healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try and force that message now just out of curiosity :) If you're not seeing a time out and want to for the sake of an experiment, try selling stuff at the bid price. If the spread between the bid (what buyers are willing to pay) and the ask (what sellers want) is more than 10 copper or so, I start from the ask and adjust my price down a bit. Taking the few seconds to adjust the price before each transaction means I don't encounter the sales spam time-out. If the random ordering of stuff I'm selling ends up with several items in a row where I sell at the bid price, I get the time-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the few seconds to adjust the price before each transaction means I don't encounter the sales spam time-out. If the random ordering of stuff I'm selling ends up with several items in a row where I sell at the bid price, I get the time-out. Most of what I sell is at bid price as long as that bid price is above vendor trash price. Granted some things I will post at prices above bidding, but even today I put about 20 items on in the space of about 3mins or so and couldn't get a message pop - I will try a larger qty of items later and see if it will pop then.. but honestly in 7 yrs I can't recall ever seeing it. Perhaps I am either too slow at posting or it needs to be much large numbers of posts in a shorter space of time, which would account for anti-bot measures.. and that's a good thing imo. Then again with the TP being so slow to post stuff these days, I am not all that surprised I fail to get messages :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goettel.4389 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It is annoying as kitten.* There are also good reasons for it and I'm happy to leave the details to the professionals while I lounge around playing. *It really, really is.

It used to be MUCH worse. Since they tweaked how often it came up I have not encountered it once. If it is a problem for you that might be a sign that you are farming too much.

Dayra.7405 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hm I scrap everything, transfer mats to bank and sell them in 250 stacks. Selling everything one by one would annoy me long before I hit the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenstone.6891 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yeah, I have gotten this message a couple of times. It just means you are too fast and the system begins to think you might be a bot. Slow down a bit, count to 15 between each transaction and it will be fine. Yes, I thought it was odd too, the first time it happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram.8256 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I do not craft so I sell almost everything I pick up. With everything dropping chests and bags full of junk, I sell a lot, quite often. I have never seen that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Dos Cavalos.6132 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 TP lost half its response speed for a long time and it never recovered. After anet changed the servers to cheaper ones or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kratan.4619 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It's based on how fast you post a lot of items to the trading post, not just how many. If you are taking the time to set your own price each time you may be fine and not trigger the timeout, I usually just post at whatever the lowest current sell price is and hit this message all the time.

Firebeard.1746 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Tbh, using this AH is heaven compared to BDO, ESO or WoW none of those games let you sell on demand straight from your inventory (or at least in the case of eso since i last played). I play BDO and WoW on and off. Yes I get this annoying message but I would take it over any of those 3 any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaverick.6104 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I get it all the time. Its not a flaw, but a feature by now. If it happens, read on discord or browser for a min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The trading post in general needs some love. It just keeps getting slower and slower. Its painful at times, but its not a pressing issues either which doesn't help since there are bigger fish to fry. This is even outside of anti-botting logic.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Dont kno why u cant choose multiple items than just sell it all at once, is it that complicated of a mechanic to implement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering all the data it does pull in to show you, I can get why it wouldn't be that straight forward. Now mabye an options to give you just the highest buy and lowest sale might work without data points outside of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toi be honest I already do that.. except I salvage the garbage greens and blues down first.. one of my pet hates of having this Russian doll loot system if I'm brutally honest, open chests to get more chests/bags to open garbage to salvage...
