Market tax is too simple

[Awha]

The thing is, a meaningful sink would be taking a ton of currency for things people actually want. Look at WoW's hilariously expensive mounts; they take a ton of gold, but you get a fancy new ride for it. A tax just penalizes you for using the marketplace. It's an empty sink.

Not saying FFXIV couldn't use a gil sink, just saying this isn't a good one. (In theory, housing would be our gil sink, but since it's not readily available to much of the player base, it doesn't really work.)

I mean that is why I mentioned I would prefer mounts.
