    everybody.

    In fact, let's square away with people having to roll for numbers to split the coins.
    why not set up a message prompt upon double clicking the pouch
    that asks you if you'd like to open the pouch with party members:
    it lists all names of the party members

    > Yes, split the pouch
    > randomizes numbers for the split.
    > Coins get distributed and are made untradeable by new pouch system.

    Except it doesn't because everybody's losing value at every level of transaction when you make things less transferrable. Look at ws/cs earned from gacha/event. They're being taxed on average 10% from pouch conversion or 7% through services.

    You think this is a good thing?

    the real argument was never about taxes my boy,
    it was about hoarding all along and to get the players to use their scrolls and not just hodl them

    IMO this thread has become obsolete, as the anticipated issues of coin hoarding failed to materialize even two years later, and mesos managed to maintain a decent relative value. I don't think people are having issues on not having enough coins available on the market either.

    but it was the way that the staff gave the bosses to be more profitable (mainly for casual single player) if anything changed in this sense of rate it would have to change how the coins were seen in the runs, first mainly in terms of encouraging those who recruit.

    For those who have an optimized run
    it would matter less

    The staff decided to tax Potions, making them more expensive to counter the effects of multimage and the diminishment of taxed transactions. Perhaps that was a more convenient solution, coding-wise. However, I believe that cheaper potions and taxed coins would be better for single mage players or those with no mage mules.

    The post was all about prestigious coins being tax-free currencies in an environment that expected higher meso generation from the multimage meta shining.

    Okay, as you said, taxes help to drain mesos. You dont think thats important?
    We always had apples or even scrolls to use for payment but they just were not used back then, I dont know exactly why. Maybe because of the amount available/needed.

    When I applied for BT as meso consultant I was going to propose an idea which ideally would solve Prestigious Coins taxation.

    This would have saved the state of economic inflation by putting more tax on all coin-currency transactions while also balancing the amount of supply by creating a newer style of coin.

    Too bad it'll never happen.

    If mesos were the only currency of trade, I'm sure people would aggressively farm for it. P-coins takes some attention away from that.

    until max cash stack gets massively increased, substitute items will always be used. any tax avoidance is a by-product of that

    On a side note, there is literally nothing wrong with hoarding, be it pcoins, scrolls, or valuable items. I'd sooner NPC all my items than be forced to sell it due to some expiration clause

    Sorry for the rudeness, but I only see posts from you complaining and finding the state of the game bad, so why continue?

    excuse me but I am a retired player, I do not play.
    if you don't play you simply win.

    why continue?
    I just like to follow up sometimes to see how much more damage the server can endure and the constant rambling of superfluous players on the forms
