House Payments

[Solarra]

What do people want to achieve with a tax? Punish those of us that somehow got lucky to get a house?

The more I read, the more it sounds like it. I guess some people would rather spread the misery than try to fix a broken system.

Just No. No payments in any in-game currency full-stop.
Unless you are also going to agree to lose your relics, raid gear etc. if you don't log in and equip it every month, use it in relevant content and pay tax on top. Oh and lets apply that to mounts and minions too, while we're at it.
I mean it's not as if we are paying a sub to cover all that, is it? /sarcasm

Alleo is right, this is a horrible idea.
The main beneficiaries wouldn't be the people who need houses. but the sort of folk who'd get a spiteful little thrill every time they heard about somebody who lost a house they cared about.
The solution isn't taxation or making housing harder to retain, it's more houses.

I'd also bet those same folks would end up with a house and no sooner than having done that start complaining about have to pay rent to keep it. I still don't get all this misdirected angst at other players instead of SE who are the ones that created this problem and are the only ones who can fix it.
