Guild Wars 2

Why is it so high QQ I get in tears when i make 0 profit or am basicly giving away 40-50s to nothing. It could be lowered by 4-5% >.>

If you won’t make a profit, don’t sell to the BLTC, instead sell to merchants.

Here are some rules to making money:

1. found things are 100% profit, always remember this
2. never sell to the BLTC unless you can sell at at least 15% over the base cost of the item
3. you do not have to sell at the highest offer to buy. You can instead list it at what ever price you want and hope for the best.

If it was lower than it is you would have a LOT more commodity traders on the BLTC, because if I can buy up a whole ton of something and flip it for even 1c more than I bought it for… well 1000 or 10,000 of those items adds up very quickly. The ‘sales tax’ helps keep the market stable and is a viable gold sink for taking coin out of the economy particularly for those who are putting vast quantities through the market. While I know it’s a pain in the kitten, the sales tax is actually to your benefit in a lot of ways.
