First topic. :'3 Though, it's coming from someone who you'd never think to be 'intelligent'.

How do you feel about the change in the Marketplace that takes away 2% of your profit? It effected a lot of the Market Tycoons and gives an unfair advantage to the buyer, but also it's balanced out the market a bit to decrease inflation. What's your take on it?

It's like reverse tax...I guess in away. I don't know if that makes sense to everyone else.
Becuase of that I go into the exchange fourm and get my things there. There's no 2% and I can usually get things a few thousand cheaper then the MP.

When you sell things in an amazon store, they take 15% of your profits. =3

Call me dense, but I don't understand how the 2% off profit helps inflation.

To me, it would seem that the seller would increase the price on a certain item to make x-amount of gold.

Meh, I have no idea how the economy works at all on Gaia or IRL. o Ao

I can answer your question, Angel.
If people increase prices, nobody will buy it. Plus, the more you sell it for, the more is taken away from your profit. It's helping inflation, because there's less gold floating around.

That makes sense! I didn't entirely understand the tax either.

xD;

But I think it's alright. Although maybe they should take more... inflation isn't entirely down as much as it should. sad
