[dev1251] Penalty for using market search feature

[NoctisUmbra]

If you're too lazy to zone in, then you shouldn't have an issue with paying a measly 5% surcharge for your convenience.

If you're too cheap to pay 5% extra, then you deserve the run around.

This game needs gil sinks, and this is a clever one. Makes it so the fact that there are retainers actually in wards mean something when people can buy from a menu.

It's a horrible attempt at adding in a gil sink, especially to a feature that should have been in from day one. This isn't "clever", it's lazy.

it isnt, shouldnt be my fault you made a laggy stupid idea in order to get more money off of people. The market wards was a "good on paper, bad execution" idea from day 1. We already loose money because we cant always sell in the right ward (especially when the ward you want is full) why add mor eon top of that. This charge is basically discouraging using the damn system in the first place...why bother having it if you don't want us to use it?

And so it begins, pre-patch QQ about the most minute things...

Someone needs to post that acceptance / change management curve again

Nice!!! So true, I think the idea is that people are thinking their money is going to go away fast, but here is the breakdown.

Buy an item for 100 gil - pay 105 gil.

Buy an item for 1000 gil pay 1050 gil.

Buy an item for 10,000 gil pay 10,500.

Buy an item for 100,000 gil pay 104,000... (Not 105,000)

Buy an item for 1,000,000 gil pay 1,004,000...

And so on and so forth... Up to a cap of 4000 gil max, this is small and since it's not forced, you have the option to choose.

But for cheaper items, you don't really even see the gil difference.
