20% taxes is friction. Killing 1 boss in a dungeon, completing 1 arena boss or even losing 1 OPR to pay 5 days of 1% housing rent is not friction.
The cost to own 3 map teleports from anywhere on the map is neglible to what it once was. Maximum 600g for 5 days of play is miniscule. That’s 3 respecs. Come on now.
You posted 5 days ago and expect results.
It’s been 5 days BTW. Your rent is due.
Ancient Greeks, the democracy creators, was believing that the most negative part of this system is that everyone has their opinion . Included the idiots…
If you think that the house taxes (500 gold for 7 days) destroying the game, personally I don’t have something to tell you. Ancient Greeks have .
Is it seven days? That’s even better than what I thought.
Why the heck is this even been discussed anymore? 
Well, I’m not going to disagree with a developer on what friction is. So come on now.
It’s already been addressed by the team. It’s a non argument.
Addressed because it was friction. Steps to provide relief don’t change the definition. Water isn’t suddenly dry because there is less water, only when there is no water is a thing considered dry. #nonargument #claimingvictoryontheintarwebziscool
What tier are your houses?
Ahh, straw man time. Doov, taxes are friction. Get over it. Come in to work already, and stop messing about on the interwebz.
I don’t truly understand your argument. Max you pay is 600 gold. That’s capped for 3 houses at maximum band. You get free inn recalls and trophy placement. Surely that needs to cost… something?
yea i agree these house taxes are game ruining.
If it’s free, why am I paying for it?
p.s. It’s friction. The amount of friction is acceptable to you. We get it.
Nah fair point, it’s not free. But surely up to three active inn recalls need to cost something.
I hope mods will lock this useless thread. We have more important things to speak about the game.
Yeah i’ll stop being a capitalist troll to help close it
Sweet! The forum gatekeepers have arrived. This thread has been deemed unworthy. At least Kots didn’t whip out his ban suggestion wand yet. #vip #importantthings
remove gameplay destroying house taxes.
The housing taxes were out of control and causing an immense amount of friction early on. The developers of New World listened to the community feedback and lowered them to a very sustainable level. The upkeep on towns isn’t free so removing housing taxes or forms of revenue for companies would require more than just removing taxes and there are far more pressing matters for them to address right now.
I think after the recent changes they have housing taxes in a really good spot for the time being. The taxes aren’t the issue really. If they asked me to pay 30 gold per week (small house tax) for a runestone that let me port back to the town I bought it in from anywhere once an hour, I would buy one for every town. That’s basically what the houses amount to for most players.
I think there are always optimizations that can be made but I personally would rather the devs focus on more important issues.
well i cant even decorate my house becasue the taxes so yes remove the taxes that are gameplay destroying.
100 gold is gameplay destroying… how exactly do you afford furniture by the way?
