Thread: Trade window keeps closing

I spent 10 minutes today trying to trade some items with a friend only to have the trade cancel itself everytime I put something in the trade window. Now this isn't a new problem, it has been bad since day one and considering that, is there any plan to fix this system anytime soon, or are we just supposed to live with it?

are you hitting enter after you place the item in the window?

Happens to me ifI or the person I'm trading with or both are in a large group... if we dump the groups the trade works.


Really big pain if you're in a Solo Group tho and don't want to leave the group just to make a trade.

Doing anything other than saying something in spacial (and sometimes sending a tell) will cancel the trade.


Make sure neither of you have macros running, and dont talk in groupchat during the trade, it should work fine.

If either one of you are looping a macro I believe it will close as well.

Amazing how this got moved from Tech Help to game guides. Guess that is easier than them actually trying to fix the problem. Neither of us were running macros as we each used the dump command several times to make sure. I was in a group of 5-6 and my friend was not grouped.


Maybe I'm just frustrated, but this problem pops up every now and then beginning with the launch of the game. It seems if you breathe wrong or take too much time, the damn thing cancels. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a try next time.

You are correct Civil. Half the time I tried to do a trade, I forgot that I had macroes loopin in the background, such as COB...

I cant believe something as simple as this is still a problem. Anyone know any tricks to get the trade window to *gasp* stay open while you trade?
