[dev1251] Penalty for using market search feature

Yes, but that money goes TOWARDS something tangible. Even casinos go towards something tangible - the gamble of possibly winning more than you started with. These surcharges don't make any sort of "real world" kind of sense. You should 'get' something for spending money. And no, saving ~30 seconds isn't "getting" something.

No, actually saving time is getting something. Pay a small surcharge, and you save time. Expanding on your logic that saving time is not worth paying for, you shouldn't dare touch the airships. Run from city to city all the time. Don't even spend anima, because apparently you don't consider time saved as time gained.

The arguments of 95%+ of people against this new surcharge for the direct purchase all sound like layers upon layers of fluff and BS covering what you're all actually trying to say:

"I want a traditional AH and I don't care what anyone else wants because I am entitled to a traditional AH just like all the other MMOs and so I won't settle for anything less...derp derp derp etc."
