Guild Wars 2

I was selling a 2 swords for 4g each, paid listing fee – 20s, and could pick up only 3g60s. I say WTF?

I know that it is some magical 10% i must pay, but isn’t it hilarious to pay 15% of price just to sell it? And why there is no explanation of that additional 10% tax? If so remove listing fee, or remove that stupid 10% tax! ARGGGH

The listing fee is actually taken from the money you already have. The missing money is the extra hidden 10% sales fee that isn’t explained anywhere.

This is why im so angry, isn’t explained BUT I MUST PAY IT! If it is real life it could be a court though

That’s not the only thing that isn’t explained.

Go find yourself a nice spot to farm a crafting item you need, say…hm, Blood from a bunch of Skale. Farm in that area for a good long while and see if you notice what happens.

Spoiler; They stop dropping stuff after a little while. It’s an anti farming code written in, because for some reason, you’re not supposed to be able to gather your own mats for crafting. You are “gently” encouraged to have to gather a range of mats you don’t need to sell, and use that money to buy the mats you do need. Forcing yo to dump money into the void of listing fees and hidden fees instead of being self reiant and gaining anything from your farming time…

I could keep ranting… but, yeah… there’s a lot going on that isn’t as it first seems.

PS, remember… if you run out of golds, you can always buy them for gems/real $s… you know… but they don’t encourage that, nope… and certainly they don’t sneak multiple methods in to sink your gold earning potential to almost nothing… certainly.

Edit; Forgot to add, they also don’t crash the TP and wipe half your gold saving off the map either. Cuz that wouldn’t happen…

It’s a necessary constrain in the game to sink gold and reduce speculation.

I’d say it should be detailed. Like listing fee.
Traders easily detected that, so it’s punishing other players.

Yep, it took me over a week to notice the 10% sales tax, because I always picked up gold from multiple sales, making it hard to notice the lower total without going through your sales log and adding it all up, which I never did. I only noticed when I posted a single expensive item.

I don’t mind the 10%, I just think a bit more transparency would go a long way.

Have you tried taking the IRS to court?

Lol…
