Remove taxes?

[Angantyr]

Perhaps remove all that pointless taxation? If it is supposed to be a gold sink for the super rich it is not working; mostly it's just an annoyance and penalize most those who have the least, for example new players. Really can't see what it is good for, as if we didn't pay enough taxes IRL.

Thank you for your time.

Remove tax, add thievery, where thievery...

• Sums the total gold amount for the account.
• Finds the total number of times retired.
• If the account has over 300K gold.
• Reduce the amount of gold on the account each week by .25+.01*times_retired*2 % gold.

Yeah sort of agreed, atleast if they halved the upkeep cost on most things. This thing actually does opposite of what it's supposed to do

All the 2h flamberge tincans that pay 55555 trillion every round for repairs can afford that, the players that are new. Or simply poor, cannot.

There's also cases like this morning where I spent 2 hours in full plate on a plated charger and a 2h and only lost about 1k gold for the entire time. Upkeep doesn't seem like it's really working well anyways.

Upkeep buttfucks me whenever I play heavy cav. Didnt even know that we had taxes... Is that true? Whose idea was that? I "farm" gold to save up and be able to play with my heavy gear without having to think of the upkeep for some time and then some smartass drains that goddamn gold?
I hope you suffocate slowly.

Wait what the fuck, I thought we talked about upkeep cost but there is a tax? This might explain why I sometimes randomly lose money. What the hell?

How does tax work? Never heard of it

It's just marketplace tax.

Guess it's much luck involved. I played ~2 hours as heavy cav with only x5 (except the first 3 rounds) and I still lost ~10 k.

Increase tax to 95%, then its not useless anymore.

Wish we had more of a trading system in place rather than trying to nickle and dime each other on trades. I'd consider going so far as removing gold from the market so you can only trade heirlooms and loompoints. I haven't thought it through, just an idea to get people trading rather than trying to take advantage of each other
