I checked out the prices for the unbinding trinkets, but come on? 4,000 energy to unbind a 5 star is competely out of your mind. Bring it down a notch. I meant he 3 star price should be 400, 4 star be maybe 700, and 5 star 1000, but 4,000 energy! If i sold everything I had and bought CE, id probably only make close to 1.5k CE. Unbinding shouldn't be that expensive, you would have to spend a bunch of money, or have like 800k crowns if your playing free. Im pretty sure almost regular gear, beside accessories and what knot, go that high. That is a lost of crowns right there.
Of course nobody(rarely) that I see, go out and unbind.
Well thats my take, agree or not. O well. just saying.
I'd think the high prices are to stop people from paying their way to instant 5*, but then again, there's the Supply Depot... which also gives 5* gear at a lower price and still trashes the CE.
While a minor (IE, minimum of 3500 for 5* unbind) reduction to the costs and a drastic increase in the costs for the Supply Depot (+1000 to 5* Depot items) might work, it's unlikely it'll ever change.
I'd much rather have unbinding have a lower CE cost than just a few hundred but with a crown coefficient, or simply making the unbinding costs equal to their current worth in energy but costing crowns- IE, if CE was at 6000 per 100, a 5* unbind would cost 4000 * 6000. So, it'd cost the same, but it would take crowns instead of CE, thus helping to lower the prices of CE people keep complaining about.
