Now, I realize some people will HATE this suggestion but I for one would like to see this happen as many other players might. I agree that recipes should be an investment of time, crowns, energy and effort but to me the price of the recipe is too steep between 4* and 5*. I feel that there is no fair transition of price range. Going from 1k to 5k is understandable but from 5k to 15k is a little steep and 15k to 45k is steeper still. I know this game is designed(at least to me it is) to pace ones' self and not take it all in one go. Now I realize that some people will just say: "Play the market, sell items, weapons and armor" But I for one enjoy getting what I need by myself or going down into the clock works with 3 others and what not. But over all, please reduce the cost of 4* and 5* recipes.
Lower the cost of Recipes?

I understand
I understand what your saying but having a different crown sink would be nice. I just think that recipe prices are a little steep as is, maybe increase crafting cost? I know thats a little oxymoron-ish compared to what I said.

Increasing crafting costs
Sounds good to me.
Recipes were about 1/3 their current prices in Beta. I think the devs realized this was far too low, as it made collecting all the recipes pretty trivial, and then players had nothing with which to spend their crowns except for buying CE. They may have even known this from the start, and always intended for them to be this high.
There aren't really any other crown sinks. Actually crafting items costs very little, and if you're going for UV's you can simply vendor the unused items to recoup the loss and then some. Trading for CE or buying materials from other players does not sink crowns, it merely shifts them around.
That's my concern - reducing the price of recipes will lead to some steep inflation. Coming up with some new crown sinks to replace that would help resolve the issue.
