Auction taxes are the main income of companies and with the changes of the terorrity income you have done the rigth way.
All companies should be able to make a small profit but by changing the auction house taxes to 5% you will increase the profit for companies drastically.
ATM for a lot of the tryhard companies it didn’t make sense to take all towns due to much work for the income but now it will be again one company takes all. The steps to decrease the ability to change companies or how often you play wars is not working due to all tryhard companies I know have at least 2-3 accounts with BIS items on all chars to figth several times.
Currently the situation on fresh start server is okay. Tryhard companies have the biggest cities. On my fresh start server one company has 4 with main company (3) and one town with their second company. But the profit the are making is limited to 300-400k per weeek with all towns they own.
With your change it will be 1-2 mio. per week and then they will buy the whole server (gear etc.) so that nobody will be able to figth with them.
Please reconsider your decision and take something else … because you told us that gold must be taken out of the game but with that you are giving it to the tryhard companies.
Increase repair costs to take a litte bit out of the game or something else what is not buffing these companies.
The tax update will come out at the same time as the shell company changes, so no, it won’t really be possible to hold 4 territories when the tax changes come out.
It will benefit smaller companies for owning 1 city … Shell companies already owned the map so the make huge profit where smaller company with such low tax will not be able to upgrade city… They will be able to keep max 3 cities, 4th its mathematically possible but it can be hard find people later.
Did you miss the part with the sweaties having 2-3 accounts to bypass this? They’ve made it transparent way too early that something like this is coming. Enough time for no-lifers to prepare alts.
Not what I said. Are you american or why did you twist my statement like that?
But just so you understand: transparency = good, delaying those mechanics = very bad.
Again, I disagree, and that’s ok. We’ll see what happens. The changes can’t really be worse.
Weird.
I didn’t twist your statement in anyway. You literally wrote:
But, regardless, I think we mostly agree in principal. I agree that the delay on the shell company mitigations was bad and that transparency on new game features is good.
If you genuinely believe there aren’t companies in new world that would do this, you haven’t been gaming long enough. I know people that created characters in other servers just to participate in more wars, I’m 100% positive that many people who live and breath for Wars will pay another 50$ just to play in more wars, and that isn’t even factoring in the gold they could make by doing it. I don’t think there’s much that can be done about it, and it would be a time/gold investment on there part. Just how it will be.
