Auction House Minimums too High?

[Dextro]

If they would change the system, I would actually spend some money. Cause then I see a chance to really use the market, buy and sell etc. But how it is right now, no chance.

Around X-mas, it was talk of 15%, which seems reasonable. 30% and 20 credits is way too much, I could understand maybe 1, but not the other.

I am down to 45 credits because my cards are not selling. I think it should be refunded if the card does not sell, or they should lower the 30% or allow a true trade system.

The mins need to go, as it stands now the market has stabilized / slowed down and people are moving cards by doing buy back schemes (buy my card for X, I'll buy a common off you for Y = lower than min anyway).

That said, the premium cards (Star Kyrie/LeBron etc) are still going to stay priced high because they are the most desired, so lowering the min shouldn't have much effect on highly sought after cards anyway.

It affects CD, if you get rid of the "tax" then we are just trading cards, they need to be the middle man and collect on this great game they have developed.

Its a freemium game, the devs need to make money somewhere. Can you develop and maintain a game for little or no revenue? That is why it is the way it is. They can lower the minimum, but if they get rid of it then how will this game still exist with no income for the devs and staff?

You are both right, but my opinion is, that it is out of balance. I would spend some money for the game, but then I want something in return. And not just one pack or an unsure bet.

For example, I´ve collected 40.000 Virtual Coins, and spend all of them into packs on NBA 2k15 and what did I get in return? Nearly nothing.
If I had buy them, it would freak me out. And that is the reason why I don´t spend real money into it, as long as they don´t change it.

Furthermore, I actually paid for the game, cause to me it is an add-on to NBA 2k15, and I bought it.

Little to no revenue? You are ignorant, and you do not even know it, they added the 100$/€ option because people like you apparently need a bigger option to waste their money.
