[dev1251] Penalty for using market search feature

[Delmontyb]

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.

It's alright. I already know the Donkey Knights can pay the surcharge. They have gil coming out of their ass.

[NoctisUmbra]

lol @ people whining over an amount of gil they won't even notice spending.

"omg, I normally buy my ingots for 4000 gil but now they're gonna be 4200 gil! This is extortion SE! I don't have 500 million gil I can't afford this!"

If it will make them rage more, I hope the extra surcharge actually goes to the retainer for carrying the gear out to the lazy customers.

Oh, and this:

Gil Sink?

rofl....

After 1000 purchases at 4k, i wouldn't feel a dent.

Quoted because this needs to appear at least 3 times on each page of this silly thread.

Cry me a river. You don't need to buy from the search menu, so if it's too much don't pay the fee. You ask for an AH style interface, you got it. Now shut up.

Seriously, do you cry to your boss when your raise isn't as big you wanted?

[Andrien]

retainers got to eat too you know

Love the pun. Thank you for that.



On topic, the surcharge cap is necessary to keep the direct purchase method from making the wards obsolete. Like it or not, the population has never been in agreement over the AH topic, and this is the best middle-ground solution that could possibly be implemented. Did all the pro-AH people actually think they would get away without an upcharge for convenience?
