Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to get your guys opinions on the exchange fee system when you sell an item.
I feel like it kind of hampers people efforts of selling small profit items such as crafted agony resistance infusions.

I recommend googling something like “GW2 TP fee” to find the many threads that will answer this.

Short version: It’s a designed gold sink to keep the economy under control and has worked quite well through the game’s life span.

Its a necessary evil, I get that.
I just wish it wasnt hahaha

It also prevents people from asking for exaggeratedly high prices and then changing their minds, which is exactly what keeps agony infusions from going up in price. In other words, the system is designed to prevent exactly the kind of thing you want.

And that’s actually good for you: if everyone could raise prices without risk, then sure, you’d get a little more for crafting infusions, but you’d also pay more for everything else.

In short, it’s not a “necessary evil”, it’s an “important good”. (And yeah, sometimes, it’s hard to see the distinction, especially when we are trying to find a reliable and profitable niche.)
