No taxation without representation.

When, in the course of Vana'dielian events, the developers begin considering imposing taxes on us without our consent:

we need to speak up as a community. No taxation without representation. So, community members, do we want the taxes back, amidst the inflation that has gone on, where a Quake scroll that was once 3K is now 300K, and an outdated spell known as Raise III, which does not benefit the purchaser, is now 1 million gil?

I say NO. Taxes should be taken out of this game completely, unless it's what players want. Taxes do not create harmony, especially when the taxed money goes into a black hole, and not to any cause at all.

Perhaps all the tax money can be added to the Mog Bonanza gil prize for your server.

2/10, would not recommend to anyone because the post was replaced with a bobcat.

*groan*

It's just a video game.

We'll dump that Jeunoan tea into the sea.

...wtf. I do NOT want the Tea Party invading Vana'diel. There is no use of "taxes" for any political affiliation in the game. It's just a gil sink and deterrent from afk over-crowding of bazaars. There's still the auction house or... I dunno... moving to another area to avoid your wares being subjected to tax.

As for the inflation... wtf does taxing has to do with that? As new content arises and need for stuff forgotten increases as well as demand for the job that uses them, what do you think will happen?

Taxes in Vana'Diel are more necessary now than ever. The Cruor system causes inflation. Taxes reduce inflation.

To OP:

While taxes do indeed go into a black hole, it does still serve a purpose. Because you can generate retarded amounts of gil out of absolutely nothing by selling gear to NPCs, inflation would run completely wild if there wasn't a black hole to dump at least a bit of this gil into. It is however not just bazaar tax that can performs this function.

Go ahead, implement the tax system again in Jueno...I miss Rolanmart.
