Auction House stuff doesn't sell
I think people would like to experiment with new builds but this is so unfortunate that Auchtion House has some kind of Pheon system which restricts you from trying out other builds as you run out of Pheon pretty quickly. That's not healthy.

Yeah I agree, I've been saying this for a while now, Pheons is the dumbest system ever, if they dont wanne get rid of it, atleast make it way WAY cheaper.

Its just another way for them to force you to buy stuff on the shop, while hiding behind the fact that you get them for free if you wait a month of events and stuff, still not ok

It's just another way to stop people from power leveling their alts really fast.

true pheon just sucks,but i doubt they will ever remove it.

The pheon system is garbage. At most, it should be 1 or MAYBE 2 pheons per accessory in t3, not the 9+ that it is now, though I'd rather see it gone. Stones should definitely not cost a single pheon since you can't trade them more than once so the whole "it prevents whales and those with a lot of gold from buying up everything good and flipping it on the market" gaslighting people give simply doesn't work with stones.

The pheon system is simply there to limit normal players and is another tax to try and milk players to go with the other taxes this game has and the people who are LEAST affected by it are the top people, the very people that the gaslighters claim it is designed to keep in check. It's basically like real life income taxes where the people that get hurt the most are the regular people (even if wealthier people may pay more since they have a bigger pool of money to pay from to still cover regular expenses and the like) despite the gaslighting that income tax is necessary for "fairness." I'll note I don't advocate for wealthier people having to pay more as that's BS too seeing as the top something like 15% of income earners pay like 70+% of all collected income tax in the first place.

Tax is theft, whether it is real life or sort of virtual in a video game.

It's 5 for rare, 9 for epic and 15 for legendary in T3 atm.

You think wrong. People don't want to experiment with stuff. We know what works and we know what doesn't work.

Removing the Pheon System wouldn't change that. Crap stays Crap, doesn't matter how easy it is to afford.

I think it's meant as a protection against bots posting lots of stuff on auction house, which is pretty annoying for normal players, don't get me wrong. But since this system is also implemented in Korean version, they won't change it. You can buy pheons for gold though. Just exchange gold for crystals and you can buy 100 pheons for 1k crystals which should be around 500g now (at least on my server)

What server would that be, 1k blue crystals for 500g? I find that very hard to believe, you probably meant 5000g?
