it will help to save the dead towns, because then people won’t need to go to the high pop towns to buy or sell something.
you just pay the taxes from the territory from where you are selling or buying stuff

I like this Idea. Indeed it will help smaller populated town to prospere through trading. Even upping the taxes a little bit in exchange I will gladly accept that.
And no one will go to the “dead towns” if they can just buy whatever’s being sold there from wherever they are…

Or sell stuff in the other towns so that people travel to them to buy it. That is how I made my largest bulk of coins, selling tier V crafts in a town that didnt have a tier V crafting station. Your idea would still have the main hub getting all the profits from listing fee’s.

Yep, this.^^ Exactly…
The proposed change just keeps ghost towns ghost towns and does nothing to encourage immigration or travel.
why the main hub would have all the profits?
if i posto something on everfall, i pay the listing fee to everfall, but if i buy the listed item while i’m in first light, i would pay the taxes to first light.
it would help more the smaller towns, because you wouldn’t need to go to wind or everfall to trade. if you have an item and want to sell but you are too far, just list it on any town you are.
the profits would go naturally to the town ehere the item if being listed or bought from.
if you are not in everfall for example, i don’t see how it would profit if the taxes for buying go to other towns
dead towns can decrease the tax and still give access to common market then. They might not be dead anymore
This change will make all periferies town dead. No one cares about %trading tax when you could sell items triple the price in these cities. Good job, they now introduced it in their plans to link all the trading houses. Prepar for uberdeflation when combined Everfall and Windsward Markets will pull down i.e. ores price to 0.01

Yeah, I hated the fact that they weren’t linked at first. Now I realize that the little coin I do make is from people who don’t feel like traveling to another part of the map to gather a specific resource. Hoping it doesn’t kill the demand for certain things. Could hurt poor, working class players like myself lol.

BDO did this and i didnt feel bad for living in a smaller town
not quite sure how i like this idea, but, when the cities have their own trading post items, it makes people think twice or loose out, for example, i was doing town board quests in a small town, where supplies are much more expensive on trading post, green wood was 30-40cents each, which is alot, but i still bought it because it was like 7000 meter to everfall, and some lucky guy made more money because he placed his wares on a smart location considering the town board quests, if we merge the trading posts, it would have cost me like 7 cents each green wood, and there arent any value in by going to smaller towns anymore, people would just simply stay in the biggest town with the highest level proffession items, or the town with the lowest tax.

In there dev post today they said they are going to do this. It’s to help bring taxes in to less populated areas.
I came to make a post about how that will kill the ‘merchant’ aspect of the game, and found this one with others already voicing that sentiment.
Personally, I did a little of this, but didn’t want to focus until I hit 60, which I did earlier this week. Now one of the playstyles I wanted to dig in to is going to be removed completely.
Please reconsider linking the trading posts together. Let the merchant class bring the goods to the TPs to lift the economies of those settlements.
If you want to change a core system, introduce a way to allow players to access storage from territories controlled by different factions. Don’t just remove the limitation, but make it attainable via a settlement standing award, or questline per settlement, or something.

I agree. I think the Devs need to think of a more creative solution vs. linking all trading posts. The separate economy in each town was a neat feature of NW. I just don’t see how linking all trading posts with options for some differences in tax being enough to encourage variety.
Perhaps something more creative like giving each settlement unique bonuses, like Morningdale is the jeweler town where everyone would get +x GS in jewelcrafting. Or maybe Brightwood is the logging town that gives noticeably improved yield making lumber. That could get people to go to those towns for niche markets and unique region identities.
