When you pay the tax the “rich” also get richer because the tax goes the companies controlling the territories. Of couse the seller could be part of those companies and hence their company indirectly make more, but they could also be from a company that isn’t one that can win wars and hold a territory.
Also, you could easily be the one benefiting. If you find a trophy mat that you are never going to use do you want to get as much money as you can? Or do you want to risk putting it on TP, paying “the rich” money and then have it not sell? Or do you want to find a guaranteed buyer? Likewise if you decide you want to buy something.
Similarly if you want to buy something like that do you want to get it cheaper or pay tax to the controlling companies? Note that even with the current and upcoming changes the companies that can win wars and hold territories are the most likely to be these “rich” that you want to punish.
of course there is, i’m often trading with my brother or father when we’re plaing together, i can’t imagine my bro giving me items to craft for him (i do armoring) and be like “Quick! I put on timeless shard on market pick it quick!”
Only because there is a gap/trick we have to choose either use it too or try to fix it. Ofc now more and more people are using trades to sell items.
But there are very few who are using trade method for small amounts. Maybe some of us would need 1 month or more to sell item(s) for 1 mil gold or higher, that would include a lot of orders placed and risks that some might expire and have to pay listing fee again, while on the other hand some rich guys do it with ZERO risk, ZERO taxes.
He is just a angry boy, its pointless to try resonate or explain him anything. He is stubborn and even after few of us told him about taxes pool he still dont get it ‘how’.
like this topic isn’t, taxing direct player to player trading is dumb because ppl don’t just trade to bypass taxes any system you design would impact all the ppl who trade for getting crafts made or to give consumables or any other number of reasons.
if you set a gold min ppl will sell gear using assets instead of gold.
your argument hinges entirely on you want to selling/buying through TP to be as fair as direct player trading except 1 requires you to only list the item and forget it.
The other requires you to be online and actually wait for an interested buyer to contact and interact.
interacting with players alone is a tax given how some ppl are in this community so count yourself lucky you only have to part w gold.
yes but ppl will just move to barter system to bypass taxes using an asset that has a relatively high but fixed price to use as the fiat currency. ppl will simply stop trading in gold.
your suggestion would lead to double taxation as most ppl use gold to buy items on ah, instead now those ppl would be removed from it and play strictly through barter.
But as I said, at least then even rich players will pay taxes for buying those materials. Whatever material is chosen, atm its Asmodeum, prices fluctuate daily.
How there will be double taxation? Whoever buy from trade post already pays taxes. Whoever will buy Asmodeum for Gold will also pay the same taxes via Trade. I only see equality and fairness here, but ofc its only my point of view.
