Guild Wars "new" Update Question - Guild Wars Forums

the_geo_stigma · Feb 15, 2007, 04:15 PM // 16:15

1) I was playing this morning, and I was going to trade/sell a Hilt to a player. I opened up the trade, he put the gold up and I put the Hilt up, both clicked "submit offer" and both click "accept", for some reason it wouldnt let use trade. We both tried about 3 times, so we tested something, we both traded 1g to each other with no problems, but wouldnt let him buy the Hilt from me. Q1: What is going on?

Q:2 How do players get Halloween & Xmass Items and Mini Pets without trading or buying them from someone, is it some kind of a promo? How do I sign up to get one?

1st You get your minipet once your character is one year old
2nd You can get Halloween and Xmas items by participating in those events ( Wintersday, Mad King Thorn's Party, etc)
3rd That trade issue has never happened to me! Must be a new bug!

maybe his inventory was full, or your inventory would have had over 100k

HKSdivision · Feb 15, 2007, 04:38 PM // 16:38

The amount of gold that he gave you must've added up past 100k (which is the limit that you can carry at a time) so that's why it would just cancel. I just had the same problem and that's because the person that I was trading with exceeded past the 100k limit.

Mini pets can be traded though, look on the auction and you'll see them for same. Holiday masks come customized so only the account that earns them can use them.

For the trade thing, that might have happen beacuse

1) Maybe the guys inventory was full
or
2)Maybe u are holding 100k'cause that is the maximum number of coins(cold hard cash) u can hold
or
3)Might as well be a buggy

Amongst the legitimate things listed above, I've also had the trade thing happen as the prelude to a scam - they want you to go into an explorable and trade by dropping things on the ground, they grab both and run. As long as you realize that dropping things on the ground is a no-no I follow along until that point. You never know if someone is just having some problems and isn't trying to scam.

Not saying the guy was doing that, but the times someone has tried to do that with me they did the whole "trade 1 gold" thing too.

lol, I've never had anyone ask me to go outside and drop my item that I want to trade or sell to them. The only time I go outside an explorable area during sales is to show the person the item while I'm wielding it. You'd have to be one big idiot to drop an item to do trades...

That trade bug is there since the release of factions. I've experienced it just 1 time where I thought someone was trying to scam me, because it was the only person from who I couldn't get the items while we both pressed accept it kept complaining that the opposite player did not pressed accept. I've tried it like 5 minutes long and we both didn't had a clue why. I tried trading with someone who walked by, and it worked perfect, just not with the one with who I traded first. But it was just 1 time I ever experienced it, but strange that it still excists. :/
