Income tax idea

Re: Income tax idea

We've been through this before kuu and I'm going to disagree with you on this point, which will make the rest of your post irrelevant.

Neither has your post changed.

Players still trade their fishes caught to the NPC. SE may have nerfed the amount you receive when turning in their catches, but botting has gotten refined and the programs being run are a lot more efficient. Add to this that many players are now "boxing" in multiple accounts to do this. On a normal day, I can get enough "NPC-able" fish with the right bait and make about 30K an hour. A botted 100+ fishermen with a Lu Shang rod and the right bait could bring in close to 60K an hour or more. Have 4 accounts and that's 240K an hour. There's also this trick that I learned from a JP player that circumvents the fatigue factor and I will not elaborate on this since it will go against POL/FFXIO policies (Yes, SE fubar'd this as well and maybe they will fix it in the next expansion since none of these patches has addressed this) Theoretically, every RMT "cell" can bring in roughly 10M or more daily from NPC'ing. JUST NPC'ing.

Ok that's a new one...do you fish?

Bsides the crazy tricks(doesn't really work since the slow down adjustment) The posiblity of 18 lined up fisherman that we don't see anymore that you say as "RMT cell":

The top decent fishing NPC sellable gil is 700-ish g. That would mean you would need 1428 ish fish or 119 stacks for 10mil. But they only accept a certain amount vanadiel day, so regular is about 500ish which is about 166 stacks....

Riiiight.

Not to mention it would be easier like the rest of us and do soles and and AH them for 30-50k a stack, which on my server is actually going higher priced and lower in stock, meaning there's not enough fisherman's around anymore. Certainly I don't see 18 people fishing on every port.

You cannot raise fees in the AH of the 3 nations. Yet, there's been an increase in inflation in those markets as well. Silk thread is now 100K a stack on Windy's AH and there's a lot more there than on Jeuno's AH, because people are becoming more wiser and trying to avoid the AH fees (or greedier would be the better term)

Why do you have to? All AH are percentage based now. You can't escape it. The more you sell, the higher the price, the greater the offset.

I can go on and on with other evidence which points to the economy not being able to take care of itself and is not anywhere near to your opinion that it is close to being "textbook perfect" as you stated.

If I'm going theorically, you're going fanatism.
Or maybe you just never tried to do a pen and paper like math test on it.

But really, I think your who arguement is based on the fact that people don't use AH for their income...and most people anywhere don't stand next to the AH for fun.
