The word "Perfect" appears to have fallen on the censors disfavor list.
When used in a listing it converts to #@$%.

I use it to describe my Inscriptions/Upgrades, but I guess no more.

Prior to listing

After listing

lol! Ok, I know it's not funny, I will ask the tech team to look into it

Urass · Oct 17, 2011, 02:34 PM // 14:34

OK, so now I'm becoming paranoid.

I see this auction and think, "cool, the issue is resolved"...

So I do a quick test and make an auction with "perfect" in the title/description...

OH NO... it must be just me! *rapidly swivels head about darting quick glances in all directions*

Hi there, I recently had a similar problem with the word::: RARE.
As long as I don't have any rare perfect items I should be fine

Saxxon Askanius · Oct 18, 2011, 11:40 AM // 11:40

For me ONLY the word "rare" since 1 month or so, but it would be okay for me...

Emesis · Oct 18, 2011, 11:45 AM // 11:45

I am fine with not being able to use the word 'rare', and find that 'max' fits in ok with me as a replacement for 'perfect'.

Wonder if 'Godly' is censored?

Maybe urass is having piles,... of difficulties

I emailed them a few days ago after being annoyed by it for the 4th or 5th time. Seems it caused users with special letters in their names to be messed up at about the same time.

Thanks for posting here Urass. Hopefully we can have it not such an offensive word for the future

Indeed, words like 'rare', 'perfect', and such like should be banned from the english language. Don't people realise how much they infer intolerance to the merely mundaine? These elitist words only serve to make 'ordinary' so much less than 'average'. I would go further and suggest we ban all words that serve to express how much better something is in relation to everything else. This kind of segregation of the ordinary breeds yet more intolerance.

So ban all words that mean extraordinary.

(Just for the record, this is actually a joke. I know how some special people like to interpret things so they can be offended.)

Well, the problem still exists for me. In selling items I have gone to stating the actual max value, which works OK, but now I am trying to list some Perfect Salvage Kits.

So I went with "P erfect" which the minds eye can properly interpret and seems to be acceptable to big brother.

But I always include a picture of the listed item. Well, the name for the picture is "Perfect_Salvage_Kit.png" and fails when included in the link.

I could rip the picture, rename it, stick it on a server and link to that, but the solution should be as simple as stripping the word "perfect" out of the offensive word database.

Is there an update on the "New" auction software status?

Probably not going to happen with GW2 purportedly delivering this year (ha) and having an internal auction/market system.

Any way, GOREDENGINEGOREDENGINE it.
