I do understand the reason, as people already commented. Did I like the change? No, I did not! All this battle trading stuff was fun for some people, myself included. For months I wouldn't even leave the depot, but I would log on everyday to check my offers and play the market. I got really surprised whenever I saw those new fees. Houses got to high as well. In my opinion, they 'fixed' these (market fees, house rent, golden outfit) to try in some way to take the money in some servers away from players. These changes didn't affect someone who is already a HL (1000+), but id did impact significantly low/mid level players.
