Thanked 201x in 127 Posts Gil: 18,840 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 18,840 Donate  | Auction House Tax: Will it be Adjusted? In the past, the Auction House tax was introduced(increased?) in response to inflation brought on by rampant RMT. In recent updates, however, the result's of S-E's introduced "Task Force" have been noticeable. Amid a great deal of deflation, prices for items(from common to rare) have been lower now than in the past two years. The numbers are looking the way they did when I first started this game.
The Auction house transaction fees, however, have not.
My question is: Will the Auction House transaction fees ever change to reflect the current state of the economy?  BurningPanther is DEAD. Long live Sunrider.

I would think it would adjust with the economy.

Long time ago, the fee used to be based on the NPC buyback price for the item. But that was changed to the current way of calculating AH fees quite a while ago. Lyonheart
