    Default Better market

    Can we make the market instead of taxed to post make it taxed when purchased?

    It's hard to sell items when U get taxed without even knowing if the item will going to be sold or not

    If U broke U can't post it cause no gold
    If U didn't sold the item U lost gold/profit
    Means less ppl will sell items in the market and more will rely on forum which didn't get taxed

    Plus it's hard to price check items since U get taxed every post by the time U get the right price the gold U earned is eaten by the tax (U get nothing just lose item)

    I agree with this. When the game was more popular, more people were buying from the auction meaning it was a safe method to sell items. Now with a smaller player pool, auc feels risky as things don’t get sold as frequently.

    the problem this would cause would be very big.

    it would be very easy to manipulate the price in auc if he didn't receive a fee for placing each item.

    People who are unsure of the value of items would be more easily deceived.

    For example, at that time there was a fishing rod at AUC of 1 billion, but it didn't even cost 100k.
    If other people hadn't added more and more similar items of much lower value, an unsuspecting person could have lost 1 billion for nothing.

    Imagine if you could place items on the auc without charging a fee, this could be easily manipulated by placing more than one item with almost the same prices, thus making it easier and deceiving anyone who was interested.

    The tax is fair imo. It controls the price of items in the market.

    Bad idea people will just randomly set random items high up or spam same items for high prices

    to prevent in manipulate prices, when u put in auc there is a set price for items like when u sell gem ex. noble fin minimum 800k maximum 1.5m only sts can set the prices in auc, and for the tax issues u can free to put in auc of any items make a tax after purchased.
