3500 Energy for 5* Gear is an inappropriate price for selling gear. How can the Supply Depot gear be much lower than the unbind costs (4000 Energy) while also skipping the materials and recipes needed to craft older variants of these gears?
With how the Crowns/Energy prices going lower and staying stable around 3000 - 3300 Crowns per 100 Energy, isn't it time to lower the Unbind costs? The Crowns/Energy market is not going to go up again, ever. With lower player count and the declining economy on top of it, this won't go up anymore.
Lower the Unbinds costs as this has been an issue for a long time now and is not fair at all with how much time we spend farming the needed materials and heating weapons.
If you keep adding crap updates that no one asked for but not listen to the remaining players, expect the downfall of this game and don't be surprised if it did just like many other games out there.
The gear is cheaper than 3500 Energy precisely to incentivize players to buy it straight in order to skip the entire process. In fact, there would be literally no reason to buy it if it was like, 4500 Energy. As we know, it's cheaper to make the equipment from scratch than it is to buy it straight - it's more affordable that way and rewards the effort in making it, while the current prices now is to pay to skip the process for convenience. Why would anybody want to pay MORE?
The game's design model is meant for you to purchase or craft the equipment for personal use. It would be much stranger if it did account for the unbind. Additionally, the price of energy has absolutely no effect on the correlation between crafting costs, unbind costs, and depot equipment costs, as literally all of these things are more affordable for F2P players proportionally.
I understand wanting cheaper unbind prices but this is not the reasoning to go about it lol.
