Basic Economics

Kukurumei:
I agree with you. Your argument makes a lot of sense. A price history would fix that issue, but the AH doesn't need to be instant global in order to give a price history.

I know you didn't say that, but this thread is turning into that argument.

Souljacker:
I'm having trouble understanding you.

Of course Norway isn't putting Tariffs on agriculture to motivate the U.S.; However, whatever their motives, the effect is the same.

The effect of a tax would be that the seller moves the goods to a different city so that they are able to sell the same goods at a lower price, for a larger profit. If you sell your goods at a place with a high tax, you still have to sell at the world price. If you try to sell higher than the world price, you will have no gil.

Once more these taxes are not something that I suggest be implemented at the current economic state of the game.
