Really? A tax on price adjustments discourages putting things up for sale, instead of discouraging adjusting their price every hour? Seriously?

People are seriously going to continue adjusting their price every hour when its costing them a 5% tax each time, even though that will quickly kill their entire profit margin? They're going to just stop selling items instead of displaying some damned patience and waiting a while before adjusting their price in order to avoid the tax?

The only people who would stop selling because of a price adjustment tax are the complete and utter morons who are currently ruining this games economies. Everyone else is smart enough to realize that if you're taxed up-front, you don't waste Gil adjusting every time someone else shows up... Would I rather;
A) Wait an extra day or so for an item to sell at the price I originally put it up for in a stable market, or;
B) Sit at the market board all day, undercutting at every possible chance to ensure a sale, and eat a 5% tax each time?
The answer is bleedin' obvious... Your server must be pretty damn terrible if you think a significant number of people would opt for B...
