Should player board have a refund option?

[Themis]

The proper way to have refund is RESELL ...^^;

This.

I often take my money from my retainers straight away. A refund wouldn't work because my retainers don't keep the gil they are holding for long.

If you buy something you don't need, then sell it. If you want to recover your tax costs, then sell it for the appropriate amount. It's not fair for me to lose out money just because you made a wrong purchase (or didn't need the item in the end). Also, I may have spent that money elsewhere, and then there's really no way to get it back.

The Tax Like FFXI is to take gil out of the game.

With this system in place I could buy up all the cheaper items for sale leaving only my expensive item on sale which sells at its over inflated price and then I return all the cheaper items I bought for a full refund.

I have done the same thing, I just resell and take the small hit.

I mean we pay a virtual tax on items and yet everyone I've spoken with has no idea why.

Speak to more people who understand virtual economies. Gil sinks are necessary to keep inflation in check.

PROTIP: Slow the heck down. You only pay tax if you're buying from a different city, so if the tax is more than a teleport or airship, go to where the cheapest item is selling before you buy it.

And yeah, the 15 minute thing would be way too exploitable.

Man... I dare you to try and get money back off of my retainers. They're out here stealing peoples roofs. ROOFS! Do you think they'll even hesitate to beat someone down over gil?


Roofs... Roofs people....

Right. The only time money stays on my retainers is if I'm busy or afk. Otherwise it gets retrieved asap.

I know they're out there plundering people's homes, so I don't trust them. :3
