The big fix here is just to reduce the taxes back to what it was pre-patch.
Many folks purchased homes during the time that taxes were lowered, NOT KNOWING that there was ever an adjustment made prior…so those folks logged in yesterday and had a WTH moment!
I personally don’t care about all the other items they added this patch, as I only run dungeons when someone needs help, but I DID enjoy harvesting, crafting, questing and house decorating…so the patch pretty much removed a large portion of my fun. I doubt I am going to sell a lot of house trophies or storage chests, if folks all start abandoning their homes, etc. This patch killed the reason to level Furnishing.
Or we can be more consequent! Why only house, trading and crafting taxes? Let’s pay taxes for healing and hunting (owning company could sell licenses), chopping, mining, fishing…
pues si que si hay gente que solo puede dedicar 1 hora al dia como masimo y en ese tiempo lo tendran que dedicar a farmear para pagar impuestos
impuestos de los que se ban a beneficiar otros pues no señores en mi casa somos 4 personas jugando al new word y ya nos estamos planteando salir del juego
Id like to see the taxes back to the reduced rate to be honest, im one of the players who did not know this was just a temp reduction in the tax payments.
O imposto de 10% cobrado é para retirar um pouco de dinheiro que gira no servidor, com o intuito de evitar uma inflação.
Para quem não sabe, os 10% não vão em totalidade para o clã que domina o território. O clã dominante recebe sim uma quantia pequena e a maior parte vai para o limbo. Por isso o clã pode estipular um valor além dos 10%.
Dito isto, acho que 10% semanalmente é exagero, principalmente se o clã dominante estipular uma taxa extrema. Acaba que precisamos “farmar” 1 ou 2 dias só para arcar com os impostos das casas.
I agree that the property taxes should be removed or at least a set rate, reasonable, that does not change. Logged on today and mine went from 279 to 780. I won’t pay this and will no longer be playing the game until this is fixed. So sad.
I left this game 2 months ago cuz I got fed up with the tax system. Makes no sense why a company can earn all our gold and sell the left overs for IRL money
Been asking for a revamp since the beginning and AGS is too stubborn to do it .
Hopefully if they do it they also release one fresh server I would gladly start over on a server where a company can’t just automatically earn 6 mill gold a week
Property tax really should be capped more like 0.2% to 1% or completely removed. Crafting does not bring enough money? Everyone crafts, not everyone owns a house & you cannot even see anyone’s house except the top top scoring house unless you actively go viewing them. Why tax the houses? No point, causes problems, players don’t like it - change it. 0.2% to 1% of the value might be acceptable. Higher? No. Do higher rates on the company that owns the territory if at all & make the company members of the ruling faction who can show their houses/compete to be the public view model.
lmao … sounds to me youre just upset that you arent on the top to enjoy the perks of dominating a city … then holding it from attacks … air is pretty stale down there on the bottom i suppose lol
That’s me right there. I went into this game blind. Got a quest to buy a house. Start looking around for one to buy and notice they are different prices. Having MMO experience, I think to myself “the more expensive house probably offers something the cheap house doesn’t. I’m given a big reduction in price on my first house, so why don’t I save up for the most expensive.” Finally have the 10k needed to buy my house and notice the taxes on it are around 300g. No problem, I can handle that pretty well. Less than a week after buying the house, the taxes are now 1491g and I didn’t pay them. If I had known this was a possibility, I probably would have gotten a cheaper one. I know, 1491g a week may not be that much to older players but it’s quite a bit for a casual or new player. It’s a huge turn off, and could be a contributing factor to players quitting. It honestly feels like a way for players to troll and grief other players.
I could see taxes being used by AGS as a measure to remove gold from the system, However from my understanding it all goes to the company controlling the town. This is counterproductive IMO. I might be mistaken though since I’ve only been playing for around 100 hrs over the past 6w or so.
Property taxes
or
Transactional taxes (crafting, market place)
As a crafter, you could choose where to set up shop… high property taxes = no feels and vice versa
Additionally it would be nice that a town that is performing low (on taxes and fees) becomes easier to take over… if everyone in EF decided to stop paying taxes, then it becomes harder to hold.
