    They are going to lower the transmutation prices by -10%! -10% is... like a very bad joke.

    I think -90% would be too the right way to go...

    In WoW, transmogrification is the same as NW's Transmutation - but Wow makes them waaay more affordable.

    They need to think, if it is high, not many people will do it (because it's strictly cosmetic). If its cheaper, more people will transmute because its affordable..

    This is true. As has been pointed out, they have already said that they plan to reduce the price. It remains to be seen just how much they reduce it. I would be okay with 600 AD scaling up to 6,000 AD. But as it stands right now it is far too much.
    The right to command is earned through duty, the privilege of rank is service.

    Toaly agree, the cost is stupidly high, but it is the same with everything in the game, mount upgrades, the upcoming companion upgrades etc etc.

    They will never change it to a more balanced and reasonable cost. Everything in the game since the 'live' launch as been made into a huge AD sink and to make it even worse everything that could make a fast or resonable amount of AD as been nerfed to the gound, and for a reason, the less AD the average player has means the more chance of players buying ZEN to keep up with the game, THAT is what it is all about, and it gets more this way with every patch that comes out.

    The harder it is for a player to make AD the slower they will progress without putting in huge amounts of time to just grind gear and enchants etc. people do eventualy get fed up of relentless and unrewarding dungeon grinds and most in the end will give in and switch to p2w and get their wallets out , or as most have done, just quit completely.

    The game at presant if you want to be competitive, get invited to dungeaon groups you have to p2w. more so in pvp with more and more pre made groups constantly running PVP with there perfect weapon and rank 9 and 10 gear enchants what chance does anybody else have to even play a decent PVP match with out spending a large amount of real money, none. there is cetainly no fun or enjoyment in PVP without the gear anymore. This as undoubtably ruined PVP and PVP is no doubt p2w and the rest of the game is slowly but surely following along.

    Things are only going to get alot worse in the upcoming module with all the BoP items being introduced into dungeons. once you got your gear set up , there is nothing left to do or worth doing anymore in the game, it is all just going to be more and more time sink with even less rewards

    Lol are you sure its -10% and not 10% of the current costs? Maybe like 10-20k is reasonable, but "discounting" it to 54k is just laughable heh.

    The was a long post , not sure were from one of the designers about upcoming changes and transmute was mentioned, along with a few other things, mount rank upgrade was another, and alot more, and it did state they was going to reduce them BY 10%, which i am sorry is just pointless. It needs to ba at least 50% or dont even bother imo.

    Another thing about the transmute system is it destroys the item you want the look of in the process, which is stupid, EG if you a CW and you want to transmute the book weapon from the Wonderous bazzar to your orb, you first have to buy the book which is 14k AD lol, and then transmute it which is around 60kAD so just to chnage the visual look of 1 weapon would cost roughly 75k AD and it destorys the book in the process, that is just crazy.......

    I feel like transmuting is fine where it's at, and I have to pay for double what you have to pay as a TR. 120k AD is NOT that hard to make, I make 2-3m a day depending on if I get decent drops in DD or not, and before you jump all over me saying I'm p2w, I havent spent a penny on this game. It's all in joining a good guild that will take you on the dungeon runs instead of pugging, because more than half of the groups I pugged with never finished the dungeon. Back onto topic though, 60k is nothing for a cosmetic upgrade, I dont think I know anybody who hasnt transmuted.

    PWE has never really got the whole economy of scale idea.
    the fact that so many high ticket sale items take up inventory
    like horses and fashion item probably also costs them a ton of sales.

    as well as the lack of mixing armors into fashion outfits.
    if there isn't any thing IN the fashion slot it should at least have the
    option to show armor. (might reduce the number of nekid people in lira masks.)

    Also the if I was mixing armor into my fashion id much
    more likely to buy more dyes and transmog stuff repetedly.

    Well thats going to change slightly when module 1 comes out with DD drops BoP, whether your in a good guild or not is still bound and useless gear.. and why do you 'think' your are the only class with a off hand that can be transmuted ? cos your not, GF's have shield......
