WTS

This is an common abbreviation for "Want To Sell". It is often followed by whatever the seller is trying to advertise, as in "WTS 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 "WTS" from the local chat channel into the trade channel. See Game updates/20060523 for examples on how the spam filter works.

Note: some people try to get around this by changing the abbreviation slightly, such as "W.T.S.", if these people are annoying you remember to put them on your Ignore list, or close the local channel while trading.
