Very Slow Exchange Response Time

I did not see a thread for this so I am posting one.

Just as the title says. The exchange is very sluggish since the start of Season 9.

In some cases, it takes upwards of 30 seconds to post a single item. To purchase does not take as long, but it is still higher than it used to be - about 5-10 seconds.

Any word on this getting looked over?
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    it took a full minute for a listing cancel to process when I made a typo on the asking price..not cool. this could have cost me an expensive item if someone had bought for the lower price(which is NOT waht I wanted to happen)

    Yes, it takes the better part of a day to post one item on the exchange... and then it takes the rest of the day to take it down.

    I believe someone has created 'bots' to macro the exchange and auto search a number of items.
    Items under a certain price are automatically purchased.

    In much the same way as the old melee weapon bug where players would take a free weapon from a rack then recycle it for ec.
    When they do this so much it causes great lagg, which if you've been around awhile, you remember from drozana during a replay event. I believe this is the same thing that happens to the exchange.

    I could be mistaken of course.

    An alternative theory is that the exchange ticker in new esd may be causing this lag itself. Just a guess though.

    I am having the same issue, and I have noticed that the Ascending and Descending Price per Unit search filters seem to be switched.

    Having this issue as well. Seems to be slightly faster today, but still really really laggy, and the filters are switched between ascend and descend.

    We were buying and selling things too fast so they nerfed it.
