Can we reduce Auction house fee?

Fee is to high... Was selling 17x soul stone for  540 silver(1gold = 100 silver), first for put them on ah, ah stole 24.5 silvers than after it was sold it stole 17.5 silvers, so total 40 silvers stolen

And who are you think will pay auctioneers? They have families to feed! You soulless, selfish... cricket!

 

From your example it seems that fee total is 7.4% of price. Lol, that's low fee. Stop whining?

[LordGainz]

that's alot if u sell 5000 gold items later.. should be 1% not 7+%

You must be new to MMOs OP. Usually it's around 10-15% cut or more. It's to halt inflation.

^ this one.

Every MMO needs a system called "gold sink". It's usually by all things that costs gold, from equipment breaking (you need to spend gold to repair it), crafting fees, transportation fees, AH fees etc. 

 

And as @Karpola said, most MMOs have auciton house fees on around 15% level. Sometimes even more. If you look at WoW (most popular example I can get) you will see that you need to repair your equipment almost everyday sinking tons of gold in it. And that's why prices on AH are kind of stable economy, they are not rising into 10,000,000 gold for one copper ore which would happen without gold sink.
