Please implement properity tax

With what the op is suggesting why not use the potential property tax Gill and just pay someone to relinquish their land.

Um, no. I purchased my house. PURCHASED. I didn't rent it from a landlord.

Having the house taken away after 45 days of not logging in is MORE than enough.

Not for this, but needed to respond to this lol

uuum You will always pay property taxes IRL even if you own the house. That's how it works IRL lol :3 sorry kid.

Bait probably, but this isn't real life we're playing here. Unlike real life, you don't have a 9-5 job in Eorzea nor bills to pay.

Come at me bro. Tack on those taxes.

The taxes will only discourage the majority of people in the game, the ones who can barely afford a small house. You'll be making housing less accessible. lol

Why would that be the government's job in the first place? It's your house, YOU do the maintenance! That's expensive enough as it is...

Do you not know what property taxes are for? I don't know how it is in US, but in Canada (this might be Ontario only), cities cannot collect any tax except property taxes. These taxes are then used to pay for things like roads, plumbing, electrical, etc. Stuff you use, but can't maintain yourself. Shit breaks and they have to fix it unlike in a video game.

Of course, the province (the Canadian version of a state) also gives money to the cities as well.

Edit: Bringing in real world economic systems is dumb because we have to deal with the constraints the real world gives us. This is not the case in a video game. Taxes in a video game are usually used as a means of removing money in the game economy rather than a source of income (since devs can just poof things into existence). However even as a gil sink your idea is terrible and would probably drain all the money out or cause people to be so poor no one would buy houses lol.

How about no. A rent tacked on to an already high price to even buy a house is the kind of stuff that made me avoid ever looking for a house way back in Aion. I play a game to have fun, and it isn't fun having to continuously pay money for something I already spent out my rear on.

You wanna kill housing even worse? That's how you kill housing.

[BARDS_ARROW]

Yeah, all right. I’ll pay your taxes when you buy EVERYONE PLAYING XIV's anima relic items. Sound fair? :l -eye roll-
