Guild trader lag

Anyone else having massive problems browsing and selling on the guild traders?
The servers seem to have massive lag, sometimes it takes 20-30 seconds to list an item. Browsing times out very often, making it hardly possible to search for something.
This is *not* due to my connection, my DSL speed or ping but obviously a server issue (Let me repeat that, there is no point in asking me to reinstall my computer, get a better network cable, another DSL provider or to turn down the brightness of my display. Really.). (In early hours, when the servers are less frequented, timing is around 20-30 *milli*seconds..)

    Yup. I have same issues since guild store rework. Everything, listing, cancelling, searching or even checking posted items is very clumsy and works very slow :/ wouldn't mind searching to take longer since we have real text search now, but queues and huge delays everywhere else cause that using guild traders became really painful :/

    Pc/na same thing. It can take 20 sec to get a list and when I buy something it often takes another 20 sec to complete. Sometimes you can wait forever and when exit the store and re enter it says too many searches bs. Sometimes theres also lag when I list my items for sale.
    I like the new ui but now it's a pain to use :(

    Yeah, just imagine that TTC add-on creators combined ALL GUILD STORES into one data base and it works like a charm, while in game we have well... something very poor.

    Over the past few days I have been having this issue as well. I put it down to my using the guild stores when they are very busy, which is something I do not usually do.

    I've also been having an issue of the contents of the search disappearing - I will search for something and after waiting for the results, the list will flash briefly with the items and then go blank so I have to search again to get the results to display.

    If you have Awesome Guild Store installed then you can open up the log of the guild trade. Usually 80% times there is a communicating issue behind that lag, as you called it. All you can do that way if you reset the search. Leave the trader and reenter the menü.

    Yes the lag in the trader menu is terrible. It seemed to improved a little after that big update, but it's been steadily going down hill since.

    Yeah. This is definitely a thing. It's all the motifs going up for sale and the rush for ppl to buy putting strain on the guild merchant system. Anniversary event...

    Yes listing or adding items to the guild bank takes a very long time. Banking right now is a major chore.

    This is an event thing, far more people are trading now. And yes the new trader interface is probably slower to.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Thought it was addons causing issues, turned off and even deleted addons and still got these issues. Reinstalled addons after checking it out without them.

    This was bad before the event. This was bad even when the population/activity dipped. This is bad during off hours.

    One more argument to add to the reasons to NOT have a Global auction house. And yes the lag is horrible

    I'm the only member of 1 guild who even logs in since 8 months ago and a 2nd guild with 3 members who still log in.

    Guild bank access times can be just as bad as the clownshoes performance of guild traders.

    I's heinous and horrendous, and ZOS needs to get sternly worded letters of admonition (which they'll ignore as usual).

    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.
