There are enough AD sinks in game right now, plus, honestly, the changes to AD generation are enough.
It's pointless to keep the transmute cost at 50k AD.
50.000 astral diamonds to transmute a lvl 70 armor/weapon/jewelry piece into another.
Makes no sense at all. Bots do not transmute and the only thing you are doing right now is holding back the players who care about the look, lowering the variety of looks in the game.
I'd like if some Dev could explain to us what's the point in making players spend 50k AD to transmute an armor, or weapon, or jewel, into another item.
It's an insanely high price and honestly, the only result is to keep the variety of looks in game lower or punish the players who try to be creative and play with the look of their toons.
So please remove the AD cost or make it very low, in line with current changes to the cost of marks.

Right now, transmutes are priced out of reach, especially considering the original is destroyed (possible loss in salvage AD) and the rate at which gear is turning over. You will sell much more of them if you price them more reasonably, making up for the reduction by increasing volume dramatically.
With no gameplay effect at all other than an AD sink, I don't see why not.
What, gold is good enough for unslotting enchantments, but not good enough for transmuting? YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK! ::Runs off crying::
We simply need to keep the issue on the front page until something is done about it.
I lose about 17k AD by transmuting my gear to my chosen one. That is from the salvage AD lost and not including the 50k/piece.

This however is something I have felt needs to be reduced for a long time. Not sure it needs to drop to 5k, but certainly down to 10k would be good. That's still 60k AD if you transmute everything that is visible.

A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.

The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
I agree with either lowering the AD cost dramatically or using gold to pay for it.

I paid 50k to transmute my dragon shield from way back. I love that thing.
50k now is like a month's worth of income at this rate.
Here, there's a lot of lower level gear that looks kinda cool, and I would wear it if it didn't cost 50k to transmute. Things change too often to sink that much AD, especially now, in an appearance change. 5k is more reasonable, but I like free even better . With everything else that takes AD, and lots of it, is charging for an appearance change really necessary?
Another thought would be, if removing the cost isn't an option, once you use a transmute an item, make that item a transmute as well - meaning that you would be able to use that armor piece as a free transmute to a different item. One time charge for the initial transmute.
