Can we have a 10 GP cost to change just our profession?
With the legion missions requiring certain professions it would be really appreciated if you could do this for us Dan.

That will be very useful and great I wonder if the legion mission timer is a temporary one or always.

Definitely back this.

With needing to chance profession more often to do legion missions, a GP option would be good.

To play devil's advocate, that will make it cheaper to change to fixer to defend your base.

I agree, this would be a +1. But I don't see it happening, as Dan likes us to spend money on GP. And how about an ONLY RACE change for 10 gp?

Some races don't have certain professions as options so that would never work. But I do like the idea of just changing profession for cheaper. Bearing in mind of course that for base defences, many people turn not only fixer but aerien fixer and also that if it was cheaper, more people would be willing to change meaning possibly even more money for Dan.

Maybe lower cost to change race, but you can only do it once a day. That would cover both angles possibly.

Haha, I was gonna let this run another day before poking my head back in but for had to make an exception for you.

The last time this idea was suggested was for base defense purposes - I think
Having a reason to change profession every ~3 days is a tad too often for most GP spenders so a lower cost would make more people likely to buy it.
Dan's money either way so up to him :geek:

Dan, while you're at it, let's make the entire Artifact Market half-price. Then you could earn half as much. How is that not an idea that you would support?

You're all forgetting that once your buy the GP, Dan gets the money. He doesn't get it AS you spend your GP. (So halving GP costs could make sales go up.)

Really, I think this is a good idea. You get 10GP when you first start, so if you pick a bad race and you later realize it, you've got one free race change.

You get more than one free change. The zolazin mission chain gives you three race-changing artifacts. And every year you can get two spheres of the new era.

I know Dan already has his money when you buy the GP BUT if you are more likely to spend GP on something then you are going to be buying more GP.

Mission reward is worth X
X is less than 20 gp = don't spend
X is worth ~10 gp = will spend

In a business perspective, Dan should at least try this and he can track how much GP is spent on average when there are just racial changes vs when there are both.

No, just no.
You wouldnt walk into a shop and say, "sorry mate, i cant afford that pack of 20 beers, can you charge me for a pack of 10?"
Set price is a set price!

Lol, no as i work in a pub and would love to keep my job, if we haggled down the price we would never make a profit.
So Dan doing this would loose money, and say he did drop the price it means everything becomes negoitable.
What then would stop people trying to get it down from 10 to 5 etc etc.
You dont bargain with terrorists for this reason, they would just keep expecting it!
