Free Company Tax/Gil Bonus System for Auto Deposit

[DeaconMoore]

Tax? Naw.

Do what WoW does.

WoW doesn't do that anymore.

WoW doesn't do a lot of awesome things it use to do.. this is why people are quitting.

Tax? Naw.

Do what WoW does. It generates a percent of the money you loot and puts it in the guild bank. You still get the full amount of copper/silver/gold looted and the game creates out of thin air a percentage of what you looted and puts it in the guild bank. This percent would have to be low though for FF, something like 5% of what you loot. Also WoW ONLY did this for money you looted from mobs. Quest rewards didn't count.

In return, add more uses for this FC gil. Make it so the FC person can buy more FC chest tabs and so on.

Why shouldnt the FC spend their FC credits on more things (like more chest tabs etc.)? We already have a currency thats FC-specific for FC-specific things.
Why create potential drama by adding gil to this FC currency?
Gil could be taken out by anyone, they could be hoarded by the FC-leader and only fill their pockets instead of benefitting the FC. Sure, one can argue that a leader can be the sole benefitter from the credits atm aswell, but that at least requires them to go through the process of spending credits and then selling the goods. With the gil just appearing in the chest, FC-leaders would - in theory - have a free income they'd only need to collect on.

FC-benefits can already be purchased, by using a currency thats created out of thin air whenever someone does specific tasks (like FATEs, turning in stuff for GC-seals etc.), there is no need to add gil to this. Any future FC-boni can be purchased with FC-credits just as easly.

Why not buy more tabs with either credits or gil?

Gil could be used for repairs as well. Give people access to repair using FC gil and so on.

As a veteran of Eve Online I am perfectly ok with an FC tax. It can come out of my pocket or out of thin air into the coffers. FC and in particular EXP Boosts cost money to run.

EXP Boosts dont cost gil, they cost the FC credits that were mentioned above.

Which are enough in my humble opinion. Given how the leader can lock the withdraw of gil to themself (and actually should, to protect the FC from theft) and how there is nothing the FC can spend the gil on together besides a house (and we all know how housing works...), I dont see a reason for such a tax. If people want to, they can donate and place gil into the chest.

But the income of the FC is not gil, its FC credits that can be spend on things that have a high chance of benefitting the whole FC - from stuff like boni to fuel for the vessels to furniture and seeds for the garden.

As others have stated FC credit is already payment from members. You can always ask and people can give but a gil tax just seems wrong to me.

[Satarn]

Imagine this being added while we still have the private chambers demolition issue lol.

[Bacent]

If the tax or whatever wasn't there in the start, don't add it now. The system should either be built around something like that, or it won't be. Don't change it mid way.

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.
