Now that the trading post is unavailable and all ways of wealth transfer are unavailable, I was wondering what happens to sell and buy orders, and specifically the money tied to those.
With the trading post functioning normally you’d lose the listing fee when your sell order runs out and the item gets transferred to your storage/inventory. With the trading post closed however, it’d be nice to get the listing fee returned as well, as we’ve listed items that quite simply cannot be bought by another party. I suppose it’s a small price to pay in light of getting the duplication glitch and associated duped items and gold fixed and patched, but it could be expensive depending on our sell orders. Is there any information on whether or not listing fees will be refunded?
Which brings me to buy orders, which in my opinion could be a bit more problematic. As I’d understand any transfer of wealth is disabled, so not only would you lose the listing fee for placing the buy order, you’d also lose the entire deposit for buying the items. When your buy order runs out and the deposit put into the trading post is supposedly transferred back to your inventory (assuming you didn’t actually buy the items because people can’t sell anything), I’m wondering if this is actually the case as this would be a “transfer of wealth” and should therefor be disabled. So where would this money go? Do you still receive it in your inventory or does it disappear? Did anyone have this happen yet and could shed some light? Seeing as having buy orders locks away a potential large amount of money, any information on this subject is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
