Guild Wars 2

Right now there is a total of 15% fee/tax (split into a 5% listing fee, and 10% sales tax) on any TP sale, I don’t have an issue with this percentage but I think there is a better/more friendly way to handle it. One of the main reasons for suggesting this is seeing quite a few players complaining about the listing fee making it difficult for them to sell high cost items they got as a drop, because they can’t afford the listing fee.

A few changes that should make this no longer an issue, without altering the end result of TP fees.

1) Increase the sales tax to 15%
2) Remove the 5% listing fee
3) Add a 5% de-listing fee to replace the listing fee

All that really changes is moving the 5% listing to either an additional 5% of tax or a de-listing fee, depending on whether the item sells or de/re-listed. Completely doing away with the listing fee would make it too easy to re-list/adjust prices and the TP would turn into more of an undercutting price war than it already is. Replacing it with a de-listing fee puts the same loss on re-listing items, without making someone have to earn more gold just to be able to sell an item.
