Actually, the fee's not messing with me nearly as much as I thought it would. If I was still using my old vending strategy, then yeah, I'd be losing money, but the fee forced me to change my MP habits and now I'm actually making more money than I was. 0.o

I'm still against the fee on general principles; I'm just not as rabidly opposed to it as I used to be xD

strategy?

what is this strategy you speak of, oh mighty one?

xd

Well, I used to buy-low/sell-high on the MP, making only like 500g a pop (but hey, it was 500 more gold than I'd otherwise have). The tax would eat that, though, since I deal in items that cost 20-30k (the tax on that = 400-600g), so now I pretty much snipe auctions and go bargain-hunting xD

the 2% fee isnt that much, so u shouldnt be poor just because of that. xp  

[Niko079]

i second that because 2% is not that much but forexample you sold a item worth 500K 2% is like 10K were are you going to get 10k that quick from ??  

[Snoopy McBeagle]

exactly though, thats 10k that they take out of general circulation and it should drive down inflation in the marketplace but im not too sure that it worked out like they thought it would.

i have to sell small cheap items to make a living on the market and it makes a pretty big difference what was once 2k is now 1960 I want my full money...cause im a poor Sad Panda  

[iskatr4ever]

well then i just add the 2% that they'll subtract from the price

example: pretend im selling a winter rose for 20,000 so u multiply that by .02 or 2% that gives u 400. i'll add 400 to the 20000 so once it sells i'll have 20k instead of just 19.6k
