[dev1251] Penalty for using market search feature

[CrstyCaptin]

I think what some people are frustrated about is the idea that this "Buy it now" is what was expected in the first place. Initially we were given this system of retainers and the wards that was not executed very well from the start. SE noticed the shortcomings and has been attempting to make the wards much more convenient for its' users.

Now with 1.20 we finally have exactly what everyone has pretty much wanted from day one, but they put a fee on it for convenience. It's kind of a slap in the face lol. Here's what you wanted but you're going to have to pay a little more for it. It's definitely not going to break the bank for anyone or cause anyone to rage quit but it's definitely a little bit of a sucker punch. It's not about the money, but more the principle of it. Just offering a little insight into the other side since many just have the "deal with it" mentality. But who knows, with 2.0 it can all change lol.

I'm in the same boat as you. I spend enough time spamming enter while leveling crafts. It would be nice not to have to run around buying materials from retainers. And as far as gil sinks, I thought materia was like the best gil sink ever for people with hundreds of millions of gil? Trying to 3M or 4M items is only for people with that kind of money and plenty of them blow hundreds of millions of gil trying to do so.

But who knows what 2.0 will bring. The mannequin system might fix things and we might get a decent AH without all this run around MW bs.

I found this on page 3:

"There is too much Gil in the game"
"Nothing to buy I have XXX million Gil"
"Money in this game is worthless"
"Money is so easy to get, they practically give it away"
etc...


Implement 5,000 gil charge for repairs
Implement 5,000 gil charge for airship
Implement 5% (max 4,000) gil charge for instant market ward transactions

I totally agree on materia, definitely one of their better gil sinks.
