How do we solve wealth inequality in game?

[macgreaze]

The richest 1% are kind of spoiling this game. It upsets me visiting the city chancel of light and seeing everyone in all their fancy clothes and then travelling to Kraag to see people wearing nothing and begging for gold. I'm wondering if there is maybe something that can be done to make things fairer for everyone?

I have a few ideas like a universal basic income of 100k gold per day for everyone or maybe "tax" (liquidise) 40% of all gold accumulated over 1 million.

Thoughts?

There is universal income in game already. Everyone who steps foot into a zone or does any of the quests gets a basic income.

All people of x level can enter zones, get items and gold. No applications or smoozing required.
All people of x requirements can do quests. No applications or smoozing required. Must be able to read some.
All people can do events. No applications or smoozing required.

Simple solution: get rich

This is not a basic income as you are requiring people to work for the gold. Also there is a substantial difference to what a lvl 60 can earn doing quests compared to someone under lvl 30. If everyone got even 20k gold a day and we taxed the 1% then things would be fairer.

Everything is already plenty fair. You have to work to be rich. Simple as that. Some players have worked for years to aquire thier status and gear. They aren't just privledged or lucky, well not all the time anyways.

BTW, I would be poor too if all I did was cry for gold in random cities. People need to get out there and work/farm or buy some plat.

What are you talking about we can make plenty of gold from the prince I made almost 1m already and I still haven't sold my 5000,2000 or 1000s yet.

You should really consider making a perpetual threat titled “Things in Arcane Legend that upset me” and keep updating it as you find more things that upset you, kind of like the game bugs thread, you’ll get bazillion of views in no time. It’s really hard to keep up with things that upset you when you have multiple threads going on. Just a thought, a dang good one if you ask me.

Players who work hard for years are rewardsd. It took me 4 years to amass all of my accounts to the status they are today.

would someone show bernie sanders here a wiki thread describing economics, inflation, & reality

"requiring people to work to for gold"
so long story short, you just want free gold so everyone gets rich but what you don't realise is as more people accumulate gold prices would technically rise everywhere, so nothing actually changes thatd be nothing more than a leaking pipe of gass to a small flame.

Well last time someone tried to do that everything fell apart.... littelary

[Oakmaiden]

Lmao, create a Robbing De Hood character the randomly spawns in towns. Stealing from the rich n gifting the poor!

Universal income is not so people can get rich. It is so people can eat. Except maybe in Alaska. So in this case, that would be 0, since your character never requires food to live. Oh wait, your character is not exactly alive.

I think a lot of you are missing the point. It is better for everyone if we all had a bit of gold.

A quick example: I was saving for a heroic egg recently. Heroic Cotton kill was 300k Fenris 4-5 hundred. By the time I had finished saving 300k Cottonkill was now 500k and Fenris was 900k. This is not inflation. The reason for the rapid rise in price is that the Rich 1% who don't even want need the egg bought them all and pushed the prices up.

Maybe a basic income is a bad idea but I doubt anyone would be against taxing the rich 40% on all their wealth over 1 million. That seems fair to me.

You all say that, "you rich players make it hard for us to progress", well guess what, we are actually the ones that gather the things for everyone, well mostly most.

So without us, heroic cottonkill would be at a higher price, as we're the ones that farmed and sold most of it, we 1% are those who didn't cry much, made ways to be rich and not be desperate or dependent. We invest time into farming or methods to earn gold.

You think this isn't fair? Look at these new players that couldn't figure how to obtain a traders permit, or even know what forums is.

Your thinking is not fair, how about start investing your time into finding ways to be rich in AL, rather then waste it spamming your threads here.

How about this, why don’t you ask STS to pay you for playing their game.
Please stop posting irrelevant ideas that render in no way any benefit to anyone..
What will be the incentive to play this game if this idea is implemented? It’s the appetite for gold that is driving players in this game..

I tell people all the time how to gather items, make gold. Whether they actually do it or not...it is their choice. It's easy to make enough to have basic gear and basic potion gold. It is quite another to gather items to sell, etc.

[Shocan]

Those that work hard get rich. You've gotta play smart and fast. Same thing irl
