WTB

This is an common abbreviation for "Want To Buy". It is often followed by whatever the buyer is seeking to purchase, as in "WTB 5 Charr Hides".

Because some traders often spam trade messages in the local chat channel, ArenaNet implemented a chat filter which will automatically redirect any message containing the word "WTB" from the local chat channel into the trade channel. See Game updates/20060523 for examples on how the spam filter works.
