#94333 Tax on Trading Post

Posted by Ultistic on 27 June 2017 - 05:31 AM

Talks about prices being unstable/too high...Merched crystal seeds to 50 mil last week.

That's the whole reason behind this topic, it's not just me who does that (lost money doing that btw) It's with any item on the TP. Somebody with 5-10b cash can easily buy out a certain item and make it go up in price by 20-30% and players are left without an option. Reading through some of these comments I like the idea of adding some sort of "limit" on buying a certain amount of an item per day.




#94115 Tax on Trading Post

Posted by Ultistic on 26 June 2017 - 12:36 PM

Hey guys,
 
Lately, we have started talking about the possibility of adding a tax on the Trading Post. The main reason we've considered this is to make sure that the economy on Alora stays as strong as it now, and we think that by adding this we can achieve that and benefit the great economy we already have even more. 
 
As you know, there is always new gold being created in Alora every second that wasn't there before. This can be from thieving, alching, monster drops, and so many more methods. The problem is, as time goes on and new players join, all of this gold accumulates. Without gold sinks (for example: Well of Goodwill) the economy will inflate pretty quickly without any sort of control. 
 
What does this mean for you? This means that the blowpipe that you used to be able to purchase for 40m now costs 70m.. But it hasn't gotten much easier for you to get that 70m through conventional methods. If you're thieving, that ~10k gp stall doesn't really change so inflation is only hurting your purchasing power.
 
 
 
With that being said, we're proposing a non-intrusive tax on the Trading post that most players probably won't even notice, and we'll discuss how this will work if it's added and get some feedback from the awesome community we have.
 
 
Pros
  • Less money in the economy and more price stability
    • This also means that if you take a break from Alora and come back after a month, your money can still buy almost exactly what you were able to buy with it when you come back.
  • Less GP = Less inflation (items won't increase in value as much)
    • Since we don't change the money that comes in through drops/thieving/alching, price stability is very important so that we can keep new players and make sure everyone doesn't have too much trouble affording necessities.
 
Cons
  • Seller loses a % of GP from the item sold
    • Our plan was to impose the fees on the seller, so when they claim their GP a certain amount would be subtracted for fees.
  • Trading post will be used less and basic trading methods will be more popular.
    • This may not even be a consequence, but we might see more people trading off of the TP. On one hand this promotes interaction between our community, but on the other hand it could mean less goods are available on the TP.
 
 
Example
Lowkey sells a pair of ranger boots for 15m to Omicron, (basing this off of a 2% tax) Lowkey would only be left with 14.7M (300k disappears from the game permanently).
 
 
Will give you guys some options to vote on, and I would love to hear some feedback and your thoughts on this being introduced into the game. Any other questions regarding this can either be asked down below or by sending me a message on forums.

#82395 Second Trading Post

Posted by Ultistic on 18 May 2017 - 08:35 AM

This suggestion was made awhile ago when we first introduced gambling. Omicron made it clear on that suggestion that there will be only 1 trading post and it will be located in edgeville.

 

Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Forum Moderator+.
