**Remove** ALTER Mandatory Minimum for Stud Service | BIG POST UPDATE

Under charging is what they are trying to avoid.  100 might be too high for Wolvden considering most explore encounters give 1-2 silver.  I'd agree to it being lowered, but not removed.

Support! At the very least, it should be lowered, as Lunar Lord suggested. But personally, I think it should be removed. Supply and demand should drive game prices for player-to-player exchanges - it feel weird to have game-set prices for this and nothing else. It's not like the game sets some minimum buy-out for trading center items. 

The only reason I can think of to keep it is to artificially jack up studding prices to make studding less favorable. But even then, people will just offer refunds (like they are already doing) which is a non-site supported interaction which can lead to scamming. 

I would suggest having the base price different for each tiered base

Say l bases minimum be 50 SC ll bases minimum be 75 SC and so on then of course maybe markings as well 

5 SC increases for common marks 10 SC increases for rare

Just thinking you know

Something like that could work well.  I hope they label the marking rarity at some point.

I would definitely get behind studding minimum prices being a bit more dynamic. There are tiers to bases and markings that determine their intended rarity based on pass rate. While I see no reason to do away with a minimum if base and marking tiers enforced different minimum prices instead of a flat 100 +10 per marking I feel it would make a lot more sense. If the issue is to solve undercutting, then at least there would be no site supported method for a tier II base with all breed/rma only marking stud to have a 200SC price like a straight from the customizer breeding male.

ty all so much for adding to the conversation! Im updating my OP so everyone who finds this thread can easily see your ideas too!

I'd totally support lowering the prices and/or making the pricing system more dynamic! Tailoring it slightly to better reflect the rarity of stud you are purchasing services from could definitely help with the crazy refund system here, too

I'm confused so I'm just gonna snip my reply x'D

The required minimum price is good thing to have to somewhat guide how to price and control how much studding will take place, as not everyone is willing to throw +150 SC on a stud. 

I'm not against adjusting it more, based on perhaps the stud's base and all, but I don't support fully removing the minium requirement fee.

I just want to say to those offering refunds, your user log shows your past studdings so you can refund the fee. 

full support. it's annoying looking for studs i can afford and sifting through tons of 200 or near 200s for one that says "refund 100sc if paid in sc" or whatever. it's not stopping anyone and it's just frustrating.
