    Default Auc tax

    Am I the only one that thinks the auction tax is too high? For expensive items it reaches millions of gold- that's hours of farming and a good amount of money if you want to pay to sell something. Maybe the tax should decrease with the more expensive items?
    If you are selling multiple arcanes, auc tax with quickly accumulate to dozens of millions.. too much money and time wasted for simply selling something. Maybe it should be limited to like 1m or something like that.

    Also a button that on the social page of the settings to allow party members to invite others would be very helpful for making a party.

    In-game time- which has been suggested dozens of times, I don't know why sts doesn't add it, would had helped a lot of players a great lot ( the settings of the party leader should apply )

    Also a dropped loot pick-up category system, would be nice if we wouldn't fill our inventories with common items anymore.

    What do y'all think about the suggestions? Any suggestion?

    Tax is about 5%. It’s fine.

    I mean atleast it isn't 20%. 5% is the auc tax, if they made it any lower then I am sure more items would be listed at way higher prices.

    The higher you sell it for, the more tax. I see it as an economy stabilizer that keeps people for selling items at a price too high. Besides, selling items that costs millions to sell is for the rich. If your gold is not really all that plentiful, they have in game trading options and they also have the forum traders market as alternatives, you just have to use it wisely.

    The opposite could be true as well. People would post for less because the tax isn't as high. A higher tax would actually make people post items for more just to make up for that tax gold. Tax doesn't determine price, demand and supply and competition do. Nobody is gonna pay 70m for something that is worth 30m even if the tax is 0,01

    Not a bad response. It helps your "OP" become more understandable. While I agree with the "current" tax, I do believe every voice deserves to be heard. Let's see what happens.

    I kind of like the tax system since it blocks those trolls who would list tons of items in the auction for 99.999.999 gold. It helps keep the economy stable as a gold sink as well, I'd say its the #1 gold sink in the game right now.

    Agree, the auction tax is high. Besides, I recently found out that you need to pay some additional fee for both sellers and buyers. I don’t get what’s the point of selling something on the auction? You barely make profit out of it, or you have to raise your price. Especially the tax for the auction items is too high. My friend bought a house at an auction last year. The house was in a terrible condition and needed renovations. Also, my friend was shocked when he realized that he has to pay a lot of taxes for that. He almost got in trouble for that, but thanks to https://taxfyle.com/ he got it under control. I understand that for some unique and antique auction taxes can be high, but for the almost destroyed house, paying a bit less than half of its price is too much.
