How many crowns would you pay for a retrait stone?

Lets imagine ZOS provides a way to retrait gear in the crown store. How much would you be willing to pay for each item to retrait?

Would it destroy the fun of the game? MMO players are a strange breed sometimes, we are lost without a carrot...

    Exactly. At Lvl 50 you should be able to do it yourself. Maybe by using crafting material or something else that the player can get by just playing the game (and that she/he could sell to other players )

    Just like Enemy said, a master crafter should be able to retrait gear. They should just make it cost like 3-4 more trait stones to retrait.

    There are alternative systems for solving the trait problem that would keep us out of the P2W zone.

    That's kinda stupid. Sorry.

    If anything it could be a crafting option costing X amount of mats after so many traits are learned.

    How about a skin that gives +5000 health/mag/stam stat and a hat that gives 250 health/mag/stam recovery and an appearance that gives 10k physical and spell resistance?

    I mean if we are going to go pay to win, may as well not try to sugar coat it.

    I agree in being able to change traits, but crownstore is not acceptable. There are things in game I personally consider to be close to crossing the line into p2w, let's not cross that line.

    I totally agree a maxed out master crafter should be able to do this - maybe by some process, espense of some mats.

    Yes. But it should be conditional. For example, you want to change the trait on a non-craftable sword then you would be required to know all nine traits for swords.

    If someone's this desperate for a trait might as well.. Up the price to 10000 crowns per reroll for a 1 in 9 chance at a trait. (Including the same1) Give each item 1/3 reroll max & make some money from everyone willing to pay the price.
    Increase Pinja's payroll, improve the servers, & expand the budget for the Dual Wand concept.

    Re-trait should be base game. It should require effort and expense, but should be available in the base crafting system.

    That would remove a huge part of the RNG/grind system, having the effect of making the game seem much shorter

    Adding retraiting as a pay service would result in ZoS having no interest in ever balancing traits and going further out of their way to create "better" traits so that we'd be forced to the crown store to fix insane RNG built into the game for just that purpose. I'd quit on principle if that ever happened.

    If they want to add retraiting, do it as an ingame system. If it has anything to do with the crown store it would be in their best interest to build in artificial barriers that you circumvent with real money. To me, that's pay to win.

    Most games these days allow a re-roll of traits.

    Just use that system. Each roll costs consecutively more.

    If you can choose whatever trait you -want- to get, then I'd pay 10 bucks -at most-. That said, I shouldn't need to pay crap for more RNG.
