I heard Gaia gets 2% of the gold you make from selling items
  This will cause...
  inflation?
  deflation?

I haven't tried it out, but judging by the rants from the peeps at the Site Feedback forum, it's not so good. =O

I'm excited. The 2% thing will probably deflat things. Which is probably is what people are pissed about. :'D

Wouldn't something like that cause INflation?

I can't see how that would be a deflater.

AKA: what the ******** are you DOING, you ******** faggots?

Someone explain how a tax will cause deflation.

I think prices will go up.

Americans are taxed more heavily then ever, and there's lots o inflation. So what was that I heard about taxation curing inflation?

Doomed: Well you know <.< as long as I'm going to be taxed in the real world and in a game, I think I'm going to just spend my monies in the real world *shrug*

I honestly have no clue whether or not to think this will cause inflation or deflation.

I totally agreed with the fact that prices will go up since people want to get some profit, but after reading this topic, I'm beginning to think it may cause deflation.

I don't know, I'm in between right now. I'm just gonna see what's gonna happen. ><

this is what I predict to happen-NOTHING

Yes we will have inflation at first becasue most people will try to compensate for that 2%. After that when people get lazy a period of deflation. Adn after that even more inflation from people taking advantage of the said market flux

There's probably going to be a great deal of people who will refuse to sell in this new Market Place. They'll probably stick to the Exchange forum and do trades. I don't want 2% of MY gold going to the Gaian government, mosty because it doesn't exist. It's just a gold eater, and it won't cause deflation. THAT much is for certain.

It stops Market place whores from getting 10 gold at a time every 10 seconds when buying/selling a common.
