Free Company Tax/Gil Bonus System for Auto Deposit

[Cincierta]

I'd love to see some ability for the Free Company to either have some form of Gil bonus that get's auto deposited into the Free Company Chest or some way to set a tax that does the same thing, that would deposit Gil into the chest for the free company. This would be optional of course.

With this, it would be great to see more things in the game to buy with Gil too, but as far as the FC goes, this would be a very nice community feature to help build and save Gil as a group.

Thanks!

No. Just no.

Warframe has this on player trades and some taxes go into 1+mil credits. To someone who just started and a guildmate wants to give them a really nice mod, it won't happen.

So no FC tax.

I'd rather they would expand what you can do with company credits. Even a small FC can end up in the millions and have actions every day, and a larger one can way more credits than we know what to do with. Maybe use them to buy materials for FC crafts (like the airships and subs), or there have been a couple of threads about customizable airship "housing", which could be a fun way to get the FC together for events and such.

Mostly, I don't see the point in taxation since there's little that FC gil CAN do that couldn't be done with credits, and what can be done with credits is limited enough as is.

For a way for the FC to make money I would prefer a FC Shop, (like in dot hack!). We have all those FC airships and submarines that bring stuff back, so lets put it all into a shop that FC members can buy from. Maybe have a shop so other players can buy from our shop. With all proceeds going to the FC Chest. Shops would be optional ofc.

I don't like the idea of a tax on FC members, it's just going to be abused.
What I'd like to see introduced is a way to let my members take out a limited amount of gil from the chest every week (FC management sets limit); at the moment it's all or nothing.

The shop idea is really nice. With the chest being so tiny it's hard to let our members see all the items we are holding from the ships and subs, and I know a lot of people are shy about asking if they can have things. A FC Shop that is only open to members would be awesome.
If your FC needs gil, you could set it up to make a profit but if you're established and don't need the gil, you could set it up so items were available at 'giveaway' prices. There are very few benefits of being in a FC right now. A few perks like this would be good imo.

There are already too many gil sinks already (cost of teleporting, useless sales tax on market board items). Adding another arbitrary gil sink seems pointless to me, especially one as ripe for abuse as this proposal.

This is ffxiv. Our guild tax system is an fc leader calling for the fc to raise the capital to buy a mansion, and shortly after the mansion is purchased kicking everyone from the fc and living in the mansion alone.

I mean, a tax system would be abused as was pointed out

BUT

They could create an opt in service I guess. So by default you wouldnt pay any gil towards the FC unless you opt into it yourself (FC leadership would have 0 control over this, nor would they be able to see who is and isnt opting in.). I mean that could be a thing. Dont think people would opt into it most likely, but it is worth noting that a system could be implemented to allow for it that would mitigate abuse.

People can deposite gil in the FC-chest if they wish to do so. I dont see a huge benefit from turning this into some "auot withdraw" from your pocket. If people want to contribute to the fortune of their FC, a system for that is in place. For anything else, there are FC-credits after all...

It would be honestly implemented as a player convenience if they so did want to. So you dont need to go manually donate, it just takes a portion of your collected income from things and deposits it. Since it would be player opt in, its just a thing someone can turn on and not worry about it. As I suggested, theres no reason not to have it as an option with that consideration. Cant be abused by the FC, taxed amount is blind to everyone else, it's at the players discretion, and auto contributes so you dont have to worry about it once turned on. Could even come with customization to dictate where the revenue comes from (Like check boxes for things like Fates, Dungeons, raids, etc). Even if you personally wouldnt see a benefit, someone else may. Just a suggestion, considering that the OP is asking for a tax system and apparently thinks one would be useful.

Hard pass.
