Gaile announced something new for the end of the New Year, something never done before. Maybe this year gift will be the XMP, who knows. But the fact that all this content has been removed from the .dat and not yet added seem to point in the opposite direction. Maybe she was refering to the weapons contest winners, that have been introduced recently in our .dat file.

Time will tell.

Before the XMP, I think they have to "open" all asian districts.

All I know is, I was reading the Feb. 6 updates, and I saw the word "Xunlai" and almost had a heart attack. Blasted Xunlai Tournaments!


For nearly 3 years i've been waiting for this. Hopefully I don't have to come back in a couple months and say "for OVER 3 years".

You know if they are in the dat file doesn't mean its coming to game..maybe it was thought of WAYYY back like before factions and was scraped cause it would be too much work. thats what i think, i also think anythinking about it/asking Gaile when is it gonna be here/this thread is pointless


But thats just my $0.02

PS. Don't you think if they were gonna resurrect this "idea" we would have had the slightest of hint by now?

Why don't you freaking READ the thread before making stupid comments? This 'content' was being worked on as recently as last December.

Actualy now would be a perfect time if they wanna have the system nearly perfect by the time GW2 comes out. Anet is usauly kind enough to give us permanent features for the purpose of progress and testing.

Lol my goal today was to be quoted :] thank you. I can go spam WTS in lions again.

But really why do we really need a auction house? To get rid of spam un-click the Check GG no more spam. Its just gonna end up mostly ignored(like the party thing)and spamming gets the job done just as well and you don't have to wait till some Mr.Deep Pockets comes and places the winning bid or something like that, also i for one enjoy spamming for at least 40min a day its like a primal urge i get

Well Gaile is in Shing Jea.

She said she had nothing to say about the Marketplace.

Yes. It got addressed by name, and they are still withholding information.

No longer is this just a subject of "what we found in the dat"

Its comming fellas.

(Heres the picture)

(Notice she capitalizes it "Xunlai Marketplace" which shows an attention to detail. If she didn't know about it, she probably wouldnt use any caps.)

You might be reading too much into it, but then again, she would probably just say "There is nothing to this marketplace rumor" if it was the truth.

I'm holding out hope...

Yeah dude, reading into proper grammar is probably a little too much.

Whats more interesting is that she doesn't know, no denial or confirm, so therefore there is something possible.

We are all your friends here, and because we are friends I think its about time we talk about your addiction.
Put the Mr.pibbs/Mountain dew/generic cola drink down!

It's bad man you need to break this addiction!

lol

Ok if you spam you deserve to be banned, and have a midget named Nanci Sparkledust come to your home and headbutt you in the nads.


And to other people commenting on it being just like P... yeah if by you mean ignored and limited by discriptions, function and location. then no it won't be anything like the P search.


Oh and Yeah I think its weird that Gaile didn't confirm or 'yadda yadda'.... I mean this is Gaile, she has openly denied the existence of several things, even when faced with proof and hard evidence (Namely the farming code, atleast 3 different exploits and a list of other leaked information about releases and game elements.)

Sorry Gaile I really don't hate you, but your job really is more Public Disinformation or rather [/b]PR[/b]opaganda, but hey it is your job you do as your told and protect your employers, its business.

Well, capitalizing name is just good gramar ... otherwise capital L in Leadership quote would mean that we are getting Leadeship shields.

As noted, gailed deined stuff that clearly existed (polar bear?), claimed that nonexisting stuff exists and misinformed on regular basis ("cute" wording inluded in all those things). Really, she is not source you want to closely examine word by word and look for clues.

Well my point wasn't hard evidence, just a possibility.

I thought she would have said Xunlai marketplace instead of Xunlai Marketplace.

"marketplace" -thing "Marketplace" - title

I'm just a obbsessed with subtle hints like that. That includes facial expressions and body language in real life.


Heres another strange thing. The frog said to save our fireworks and stuff. And he told us this AFTER Party Animal was added, no one knows why yet.

Its cause of a double party weekend of wtf is that I saw someone post in a random thread. Its a quote from the .DAT.

It is likely that whoever asked her used spelling from this thread - with capital "M" and that she simply used it. (otherwise your mirror would claim that her correction of capitalization is proof.) Theme here is not getting your hopes too high.

Frog possibly simply made bad timing with his quote. Or maybe they are going to revealuate that title track - which is likely as i have 700 points in it without any serious attempt while my progress in titles comparable that which were in game for ages and which i take with same lax attitude is about 200 points total.

I too ran into Gaile this weekend during one of the events, and she wouldnt even respond to me when I asked about the XMP. She just ignored my questions completely.

I hope they implement it soon, I'm broke and need clear inventory/storage and nothing makes me not want play more than standing in random districts spamming WTS. Selling stuff in GW is broken.

FIX IT ANET!

Right now I wish I had the XMP so I could just stare at the Tome list.

Its hard enough just to seperate the WTBs and WTSs.

The repeat Lion Mask though in the canthan event makes me wonder though.

How many devs are left on GW1? Are there enough to pull off a XMP? Are GW2 devs helping with the XMP for testing reasons?

That leads us to the same questions.

Keep checking the dat file after updates. I gotto learn how to do that myself too, this is like the last thing exciting till the GW2 beta.

Off to do some research!

I doubt Anet has any reasons to release the XMP in GW1 for GW1's sake. It does, however, have every reason to release it in GW1 in order to test and fine-tune it for GW2. We can only hope.

I wouldn't think Gaile would answer. If she knows there is code but not if it's going to be activated then she says anything she gets hammered. Look at the polar bear mini for an example.
This search and trade channel isn't working so I hope they do something.

They'll release it when they release it, if they even do so. No amount of forum posting will change that, and frankly I hope it doesn't.

Just be patient.

Agreed. I planned to get all those good-looking BMP items but then I realized I will never be able to duplicate the mods on my green Cane & Focus before GW2 is out...

Mods is what I mostly want to see from this too. Access to weapon mods is a very important and long neglected aspect of Guild Wars.

The bst thing I expect from a Market is the wordwide unification of prices.

No need to check forums or ask apraisers. Just look for the item you want to sell!

i still have hope that this might come thro. would be a awsome thing. I can't get my hopes up to high thou. you guys are right. Its to dang hard to find mods for spears and focus items. I would settle for a npc that trades in them.

Two simple words: Auction House.

Since anet made it very clear over and over again that this is not going to happen, there isn't going to be much that they will do otherwise to fix the monstrosity they call the trade system.

A few pages back, we disscussed how this isn't an Auction House. There is no bidding, no auctions.



Oh and, good job bugging Gaile guys! We gotto keep the pressure on them till we get a positive/negative confirmation.

you have come into this late or something as the Xunlai Marketplace has been part of the dat as recently changed/added as a couple weeks ago, once it was found they did remove it in an update a week or so ago. But this is/was something in the works as recently as right after the HoM changes to minis customized/dedicated

I hope that this mythical Marketplace would include some pretty good sorting. You know it's going to be one huge database if it ever tastes reality, so if the ability to sort by, say, [weapon type, weapon skin, requirement, damage modifier] were in place it would really help to find what we're looking for.

Hypothetically, of course.

Also, while auction house is complex-ish to implement, something like Marketplace is relatively easy compared to that.

Yup. It would be just a list of items to sort and query. Since the purchases would be just direct, there would be no need to stoe more infor that the seller, the item and the prices.

As far as I can tell for all the raw text files show so far, it would be able to sort by type of item, to sort if it is inscribable or not, to show it is 'maxed' or not...

So imagine it... probably people would start looking for inscribed perfect items only, and if the pries are too high, they may uncheck the perfect or the inscription filters...

Did u even read my post? Im saying very clearly that anet is NOT going to introduce an auction house although that would be a radical solution to the trade issue.
