Income tax is 12%?

Nevermind, googled, must be talking about some sort or trading tax

 

Very nice to see inventory cap increased to 80. It's good to see the ML staff are continuously pushing boundaries with client editting to add valuable new features.

 

Income tax is definitely more than that. A bit more than 20% for me

 

Who ready to change our currency to ginger ales!

 

Is there any chance 3rd job SP resets will be given now that Power Crash is a skill that may be used? I avoided the skill because I didn't see any need to have it.

 

Will the shadower's skill Venomous Stab be updated as well?

Saving up for inventory spots will convince people who only spent NX for gacha to keep voting (even if only for a little while), good idea

 

what are some of the balance issues with having use slots go above 48?

 

While I think there should be meso sinks, I've never liked the concept of the trade tax because it's pretty much stealing mesos and giving nothing in return... Feels like it could discourage trade a bit, and get people to try stupid things like dropping meso bags on the floor.

Also, hope a few of the extremely expensive HT skill book drop rates won't be decreased too much. Looks like genesis 30 and MW 20 are the most expensive ones, because they are the most sought-after. Everything else should be alright nerfing a little...

Although, this doesn't take into account the working boss buffs. Surely these buffs are going to require a higher base HP for some of the squishier classes to survive, right? But to counter-balance that, will this ultimately make the power crash, magic crash, and armor crash skills useful?

 

Same here right south of you... 30% for me though

 

Actually, its going to be a HUGE change and makes (horntail, at the very least) a lot harder. When fully buffed (with weapon attack), the tail and legs can hit you for 9.8k. So basically this means that the HP requirement to do horntail comfortably goes up from 7.something thousand to ~10k. This assumes that nobody dispells or crashes the attack buff on the parts. If you have people doing that, then the HP requirement pretty much stays the same.

Also i agree with you a little on the tax change, but the flat 2.5% change is much better than having nothing done at all, as I do think we need more meso sink in this server.

 

Are we able to multivoting now as the gachapon is removed from the cash shop ?

 

I'm strongly against the removal of gachapon tickets from the cash shop. But I understand you're doing this to balance the game and other reasons, so
I understand.

 

That could also mean you earn more than me

 

RICEDUCK
The 2.5% tax is an attempt to curb excessive inflation by discouraging trade. In the simplest form, PQ=MV by which price*quantity = money*velocity. A lot of inflation on the server is due to increases in the supply of money (as well as demographics of the player base but that's hard to change). A tax can therefore curb both the supply of money and its velocity. In the current system, it was designed as a "progressive tax" by which large purchases are taxed more heavily than smaller ones. While that works with things like income tax which can't be evaded, it could be evaded by etcs. When people pay in etcs, it reduces their effective rate to 0.5% (for 999999 meso etcs) or less assuming there is a hired merchant.

There's also a discrepancy between trade tax and merchant tax that discourages meso transfers via trade that could be solved eith a flat rate.

 

It's also worth noting that 2.5% is higher than the highest progressive tax bracket we currently have (2%). So all around more of our mesos are going to be destroyed.

 

Any idea on time frame for patch being done?
