I’d pay to fix the chains in Nelth, oh wait, I already do.
More seriously, if we want to remove gold in circulation, we could delete half the gold and mats players possess at the end of every expansion. Sure this would cause unintended consequences though.

U.S.S.R anthem plays on background and slowly becomes louder

make gold BoP

And here i thought the weekend was over already.

Also, that’s now how taxes actually work.

Imagine if you knew how taxes actually worked.

I like idea with taxes. However they must be shared among top-10 streamers.

As a swiss player i would like to have the lower taxes ratio for me and bank advantage.

Far into the distance… beyond the horizon…is where you should go plant potatoes.

Offering 10 leather for 15 herbs. w/me for more info.

There was an experiment to study Game Theory. 10 people were given 100 chips and sat around a table to play a game. Each round they could put in some of their chips into the middle of the table. This pot was then doubled and returned to the players.
Round 1. Everyone puts in 100 chips. Everyone gets 100 chips back plus another 100 chips reward. Everyone has 200 chips.
Round 2. Everyone puts in 100 chips except some jerk who puts in 0. The pot is 900 which is doubled to 1800 and everyone gets 180 chips back. Everyone has 280 except the Jerk who has 380.
Round 3. There are 3 Jerks.
Round 4. There are 8 Jerks.
Round 5. There are 10 Jerks and nobody gets any more chips.

Divide up my gold to others then I’ll get rid of my gold and not do anything to get more, probably stop playing the game.

USSR Anthem for the communism idea.

There are already taxes in the game, called ā€œgold sinksā€ see pets, mounts, learning flying skill - some of these are one time other like repair are persistent. I’m not against more goldsinks seeing how inflation is running its course through WoW.

Anyway to the crux of the issue: If you flat tax everyone, literally everyone 10% of their current held gold they will just rush the AH - short term hyperinflation on goods may occur before settling and then people will keep their wealth in ā€œuntaxableā€ goods minus AH cut.

The tax would only take (il)literal people unaware in the first few weeks tops. Goldsellers and boosters would sell items and take items to avoid gold tax. Nothing would change. This was also discussed in the past when presenting a flat gold tax.

Why are fish so expensive?
because it costs 1,000,000 Golden Trout to Boost AotC this season and everyone has bought them all…

Well, OP cleary wants free gold from the rich. If you really want gold, you don’t need taxes, you can buy a token.
Also, you don’t even need a lot of gold to play the game as nearly everything is purchased with other currencies.

A WoW tax? Sure! I’m dead anyway so taxes don’t apply to me. Only you living scrubs have to pay taxes.

What is it about that particular US state that makes it more special than others? Or am I missing the point?

stares at ā€œthe witcher 2ā€ with the tax collector.
Even Gerald cant avoid the IRS
