The latest cash auction is each commodity quota charge charges $1.25 and supreme frame fee, suitable for sale in the auction house in the commodities also varies. In this charge before structure, the auction a commodity to 15 cents, to 65 cents for selling success, so that the total amount is 80 cents. Is this pattern has caused "gambling" sex sell way, even if you don't sell success still spend 5 cents (a disaster not?) . The latest charge structure to completely eliminate the danger, but sales success is to charge more than 45 cents. The system might look more intelligent and more attractive, also have side effects, someone will probably will be the swarms of garbage tucked into the auction house, because there is no risk auction goods.

The EU- battle.net cost balance

So, the $1.25 charge, compared to what will be the auction house gold fresh stuff appeared in the cash the auction house? In the short term, very small part.

I want to keep the poundage fixed and not according to the proportion of charge, whether can lead to blizzard of income decrease. The only worth of equipment is sold, and is very rare senior goods. In fact this cut away millions of micro trading opportunities, which would otherwise be a large sum of income. Maybe blizzard think this charging system will bring more profits?

Blizzard will auction house seems to be prepared to be more professional cash some, may is let the market only senior commodity circulation, and let the gold to the exchange rate of the auction house's cash for operation. Reduce cash auction houses look is them in the massive hemorrhage. Because will no longer are the thousands of after the piece of equipment every day dozens of several hundred pieces sold small sum, but overall number will be dramatically reduced but at the same time equipment to rise.

The Beta now than there is one thing that worries me, that is to sell goods and gold futures is still "the poundage of 15%". Blizzard has repeatedly said the costs will be fixed, and that no single enumerate there will be some kind of goods will additional calculation. But in fact is so so, daily commodities prices is not fixed $1.25 entirely reasonable, but based on the percentage of costs is a very great amount. A fallen of the tooth value of 30 cents, a burning bark value $5. The futures price is low to monomer commodity set a high fees is not reasonable, otherwise some goods, they may not appear in the auction. Unless this is intentional, they hope to gold futures goods auction house is main trade area.

Blizzard set all the things that the fee is $1.25 (including gold and futures goods), I presumed them through the cash auction houses the profits will be far better than I expected much lower. In the current fee structure, I wouldn't expect to see every day thousands of North America area will sell a commodity. So let us to calculate.

Commodities and gold futures is currently charge by a percentage

-all of the goods that all charges is $1.25 (including commodities and gold)

Every 24 hours-6000 sell piece of equipment.

Every 24 hours-there are 20000 units sold gold COINS.

-so a war zone in the United States in the poundage income is 11862500 dollars ($eleven million eight hundred and sixty-two thousand five hundred).

In the account spending, maintenance, operating costs, account/customer service. This looks contrast of the world of warcraft income of very small.
