Remove the gold cost for removing enchantments & runestones.
Make them like insignias.There's absolutely no point in having that sink since you moved it to
professions.
Having the gold cost for "unslotting" enchants limits your moves and does not let you enjoy playing for multiple alts.
If we mention gameplay only for 1 character the sink is still here:
Having gold cost for removing overload enchantments limits your ability to draw maximum potential of overloads in different areas/parts of the map.
Also dismissing gold cost would let players equip their twinks with high level enchantments, and it'd likewise make queue(IL restriction) more accessible thus increasing the queue population overall.
It will be extremely good QoL. Remove it.
Per enchant:
1,0g to remove runestone from companion.
3,5g from legendary piece.
2.5g from epic piece (removing overload ench costs the same price).

Sobering reality bites back.
Dead🔪this way you only pay if you want to KEEP the item. people can then upgrade gear, keep their enchantments without paying extra, and get the refining materials from the old item.
if your upgrading enchantments you either pay or destroy the old enchantments.
Everyday:
3,5+2,5g fee - just to remove Weapon&Armor ench. (and you need to do it twice = 12g). 3g - Bondings (6g total). Rings BtA - no problem here.
Sometimes:
Main-hand - 7g (x2) Offhand - 7g (x2) Armor - 2,5g (x2) Neck - 3,5g (x2) Belt - 3,5g (x2) Shirt - 2,5g (x2) Pants - 2,5g (x2)
Utility:
Helm = 2,5g (x2) Arm = 2,5g (x2) Boots = 2,5g (x2) Neck - 3,5g (x2) Belt - 3,5g (x2)
Did I miss something?
Dead🔪Dead🔪I personally don't switch enchantment among mains regularly (I only play mains and do not play 'alt').
If they don't have the 'best', they can wait until they have.
Even if there is no fee, it is impractical for me to move enchantment around everyday and I play 6 mains everyday.
That is even more work than invocation and setting up professions.
I'm pretty sure all yours twinks - 16k+ and you have no problem with RAQ or even REQ.
But we're not all so rich that we can afford several (same) U.enchants or 2nd/3rd set of exactly the same enchants.
Dead🔪People who are already paying the gold cost to do these swaps will continue to do these swaps. Most people who are not engaging in these swaps will continue to eschew them because it's too much work to keep track of which enchantments are on which characters. There will be a minor few who will decide that it's suddenly worth swapping enchantments around simply because it's free. These people seem to be a small minority.
Personally, I don't swap enchantments around for two reasons, in order of importance:
1. I'm too lazy to spend the time moving them around and back again.
2. I'm too cheap to spend the gold moving them around and back again.
Even if you remove #2, my #1 reason will still remain. There is nothing that #2 can do about #1. I am a lazy person. This has been true for almost 47 years and it will remain true for whatever time is left to me in this life.
I did say "might" and "a bit", but the reality is, for supply and demand, when a barrier is reduced, there is an affect on the balance of that pendulum. The question isn't "if", but how much. Maybe it will be so small that it wouldn't even be noticed. It's simply something that must be considered. Having said that, I personally would like this change. I'd like to be able to swap in Barovia chest or undead ring without having to pay and confirm enchant swaps. Also for switching between roles (support <-> DPS). Right now, I'd rather buy extra R13s or R14s to avoid that and can always sell them later (albeit at a loss).
why? why does there need to be any kind of cost associated wiht moving enchants around? I do it regularly not just between alts but just to change gear around to maximize stats. it's a pointless sink imo. it's stupid having to buy stuff off ah to sell for gold. imo if they really feel we need to pay for it they just need to lessen the cost in gold A LOT. make it silvers to switch
