Danikat.8537 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Do you mean during the beta tests when the gem store and trading post had separate menus? Or the launch version where buying, selling and checking your history were separate menus on the left side of the trading post window instead of tabs along the top? (You can see that version here: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trading_Post#/media/File:Trading_Post_interface_2012.jpg ) Either way I remember it, but I'm not sure why you're asking. Is there something you want to know about it, or want us to know? Or are you just wondering if anyone else is aware it was updated? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Maybe just a moment of nostalgia? Like for old LA or the great collapse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember that either but it have been 9 years so might miss remember. Surely the wiki should have a note about it, if it ever was a thing.

There has always been only mail and TP. Not sure about Beta since I never tried that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asum.4960 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Playing since open betas, this was never a thing from what I recall, and there are statements from Anet as early as Feb. 2012, before even the limited/invite only press and NDA'ed close betas, stating that direct player trading would never be a thing in GW2. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Maybe there was one during the alpha stage? GW1 had direct trading, with a dedicated menu (but no trading post) so it wouldn't surprise me if they considered it for GW2. But I've never heard much about the very early stages of development, so I'm not sure. It definitely wasn't in the game at launch, or during the beta tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosleepdemon.1368 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 ANet specifically said player to player trading would not happen. You can send mail with gold or items, but no cash on delivery either. It's pretty rubbish IMO, but I don't actually remember if it was in closed beta or not. Wasn't available at release, that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If you are referring to player-to-player trading, you might be remembering Guild Wars, rather then Guild Wars 2, as Guild Wars 2 never had such a thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what I remember it wasn’t the same as guild wars 1 trading window. It had two sides. One was on the left for 1 person and the other on the right for 2 person which both people could see. And their was a invite to trade option when you right clicked on the person also. You could put gold or items into the window and then both parties had to agree to the trade through the options.

The devs stated well before launch that GW2 would not have a system for direct player to player trade because of issues associated with how it worked in GW1. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
