    So is it possible to make the buyback cost for islanders cheaper?
    5m for an islander is way too expensive

    Yes, please.

    Great idea.

    Back in my EMS days we used to trade for meso on the Island. For me its still a habit to pick up and npc everything.

    I am level 58. I have 14m. 5m is too much for us.
    A decent price to prevent ~buyback being used as extra inventory is for sure a good solution. But for us Islanders it serves no purpose for it being that high.

    If I'd npc something like +4 gomus or a perfect umbrella/lights and not being able to fix my mistake due to the high cost. I would likely quit.

    Yes, please.

    I think reducing the cost is very reasonable across the board for this feature. 5m is unusually expensive, and I have found myself several times accidentally NPCing items from farming that were not worth paying the 5m to get back, but were items I would have preferred keeping (for scrolling purposes, for example.) In my opinion, the buyback amount should be exactly the amount the NPC had paid the player for the item (there are some shops with discount prices but I don't think they are drastic enough to turn that into an exploit.) IIRC this is how nexon implemented their buyback feature. The only reason against a price reduction I could see is claiming this is a gold sink, which would be silly(?), and perhaps some sort of exploit (which I doubt there would be.)

    At the very least yes, I agree that it shouldn't be that high on the island.
