The market on New World is to be a player driven economy. Currently, when we get our first house at a great discount we kind of get stuck in a city. When the company in the city raises taxes we do not have a way, as players, to incentivize them to lower as just abandoning the house is a great cost and going without a house makes the game very difficult to play.
With that in mind I would like to see something were players can affect the housing market more when a company raises taxes. Easiest thing I can thing of is that you get half the value of your house if you abandon it so moving costs are much easier to take.
With all the server moves we are really starting to see how bad it can be for players when only a few hold the power to raise the tax and you can do nothing to stop it.
why would anyone buy our houses if they are available for sale for the game itself?
If you had a limited number of houses in a city this idea would make sense.
as it is, it doesn’t make any sense to buy from someone and not from the game directly.
