Can we get an increase to the amount of tender you’re providing given that this is on a monthly rotation, with items leaving to possibly never come back for months/years?

Currently, using the April trading post as an example. You are only given 1,000 trader bucks. However, if you wished to procure the items in the store you’d need a total of 4,725 trader bucks. With the mount requiring 90% of your monthly currency.

How are players supposed to get items they want if they’re hard capped on a MONTHLY basis at only getting 1,000? Why are the prices so high given your self-induced monthly cap? I could see the prices being high if there was a continuous way to procure tender, but there is not. Now players have to make the heart wrenching decisions of what items they would like to have, and hope to god some of the items that they wanted but couldn’t get come back at some point.

I believe the prices need to either come down, A LOT, or a way to continuously receive tender during the month needs to be enacted. This kind of store just leaves a sour taste. “Ohhh man, You only got 1k tender, hope you don’t like everything in the store because… YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

Edit: To Clarify - By stating I want a way to procure more on a monthly basis I am in NO WAY wanting you to put more currency as a Real Money purchase from the store. That would have the opposite effect. Micro-transactions have NO PLACE in a game that I’m already providing a transaction to you to play. Plus, lets be honest. You already have enough micro-transactions anyways.

Hello. Thank you for the feedback. As the Trading Post is still quite new, we’re taking in all the written feedback we can get. We’re also informed by the data we’re getting each month on which items players prefer, which activities they earn tender from, how early in the month they make their purchases, and many other points of information.

We do want to note that items will return and become available again in the future. You should feel comfortable passing on items that aren’t your first or second choice choice in a given month, knowing that you’ll see them again. We’re focused on making a system that has a long term impact.

We will continue to carefully examine the Trading Post, and discuss everything about it, and make changes when necessary. We don’t have anything along those lines to share at the moment.

Thank you.
