    There's also been a mis-price in the Game of the Year Upgrade which is now over 260% more expensive and the same price as the Game of the Year Edition (includes. Prophecies).

    To track and compare to previous proper sales I've made this GW Store Prices comparison Google Sheet.

    What's strange is there hasn't been a 'Sale' announcement from ArenaNet not on Twitter or the GW2 News site like there have been on previous sales.

    Since it is only on a small number of items, and with the mis-price it's possible it isn't actually a Sale and something else is going on. Back-end store modifications or something. They changed payment processor last month could it be related. I'm sure when there was some active support on Reddit in the past it was mentioned prices changes were tricky because it had all been hard-coded or something.

    For reference: the price updates in Feb 2019 last time the store changed to add the Complete Collection (removing the Trilogy and Platinum editions).
