Okay seeing that the new beta system looks great and will be a great improvement. I find the new tax idea to be uneeded. Though the math and systematic process for its cause is clear and understandable. The market place was made for gaians to make a profit, which we are encuraged to do. What are your thoughts and feelings?

They are hurting the economy because all that will happen now is that people will raise their prices 2% to cover the cost of the tax.

Beware...

In the middle of the night, I hear it coming... Creeping ever closer, with each new day, crawling and crawling, until it chokes our economy and blots out the sun with its dark tentacles of DOOOOOOM...

Yes, you've guessed it...

THE ARMY OF UNCONTROLLABLE INFLATION IS ON THE MOVE!

Soon buying a labu necklace will cost as much as a Kiki does now, with the added tax of 5 MILLION PERCENT!!!

Gaia has condemned us all!

I've been thinking, and although I know this idea is rather impractical...

That the new tax should be put toward some sort of Gaia daily lotto. That way the money is put back to the people. Every account can only buy one ticket (of let's say something small like, 10g) and the taxes collected from the MP as well as the ticket prices, go towards a massive Gaia lotto.

I doubt anyone agrees with me though.

this actually a very good idea!

& i agree w/everyone else about the inflation which of course could also affect the DTTPAY thread
& the pricing/value of things

I understand the logic, but it still sucks. blaugh

Actually, it doesn't bother me half as much on a Kiki or something expensive as it does on all the 5-25g items I sell.

So if we sell an item for 1 or 2 gold, are they rounding up or down? o.0 Because I assume it's coming out in whole-gold increments.

Oh, also, they call it a "listing fee," not a "commission," so are we getting charged whether or not the item sells? Or just from the proceeds?

I agree with darkgirl>. which might make some people frustrated at having incredibly n00bish avi's even though they've been on Gaia for awhile. Causing people to leave>.<

Personally, I'm hoping this whole thing crashes and burns. D=

Yeah, you know why this 2% tax and the new MP is going to help the economy?

Because people are going to quit.
