no its not

1. Decrease the amount of meebles in cirulation
~ @epick8

Just because the percentage for the richer is lower it doesn't mean the total amount isn't. If you have 200mil and get taxed for 2% you are getting taxed for 4 million, where as someone with 5mil will get taxed for only 175k. I think it is extremely unfair for richer people to also pay a higher percentage of their total.

2. decrease the gap between rich and poor
~ @epick8

The real difference between rich and poor is effort (or real life donations).

I have not donated a single dollar to this server but I still have Ultimate. I earned it via hours and hours of trying to make meebles with a result, I had over 100 million meebles and bought ranks for not only myself but others.

The other difference between rich and poor is donations and I don't see why people who have donated money deserve to be punished by taxes just because they are rich. If you don't want people to be so rich, don't let people donate for meebles.

Fuzzlr, if you do this, could you lower the price of a town, because I do not feel like spending 25.50 by the 23rd just to get one. Please take notice of this, as my friend and I have been saving for over a month and are only 1/3rd of the way there, especially as our town has been ruined by a new mayor.

Add lottery back... 50 percent of the pot gets taken out of the economy while the other 50 goes to the winner

Everyone loses 20%

Take your balance... Multiple it by .2... Then subtract what you get from your original balance

~ @CaptaineAli

I am completely in agreement with you. I earned vip through meebles in about 11 days. Just starting the server and knowing little about MC in general, this is mildly impressive(to myself not to anyone else). I worked extremely hard from the ground up to get all that money, so i know the difference between someone who wants the easy way out and someone who works to get meebles. Even not being rich I really think the rich shouldn't be penalized simply because their effort was greater than others.

As much as I love it now, the potential to get $6,000 Meebles per day for voting is going to cause inflation fast. If you do a reduction and not a tax, the standard voting awards could be lowered, while keeping the high "lucky" bonuses as an incentive for richer players to keep voting daily.
~ @KariStar86

I should clarify that I wasn't just thinking of richer players here (and I am not one! ;)). Lower voting awards, like $1,000 per vote (up to $3,000 per day) would still benefit poorer or new players but may not be enough incentive for those with more Meebles to vote. That's why I mentioned keeping the "lucky" votes, because it would maintain that incentive.

MaxximusDavid

We have already taken this into account. We will make it impossible for players to make money by doing this.
~ @Fuzzlr

Fuzzlr if you have time, could you please respond. Is every item in the shops, getting reduced by 20% as well, or just taking 20% of the meebles out of the economy. There has not been much clarification.

~ @Jiltism

Or even easier:
Money multiplied by .8

smk

To make it fair and so this doesn't have to be a long term burden, I agree with the one-time 20%. I still do not see why you need to take money from the server's players though

Khafra

Well, I'm really freaking pissed off at how many ranks suck.
Supreme- only /blaze and /spawner, totally not worth it
Premium- iron prices reduced useless shop, no useful commands.

I will never vote because it is a reason why the economy is being ruined.

Or you could just add mini-games that require in game money. Example: Make Kit-PVP so people have to spend in game money to get stronger items.

2klassy

I love how you could simply put all your money in your town bank. Therefore the money wouldn't be taken.

2klassy

Or you can just convert all your money into gold ingots. As a result the money can't be taken out of your items...

UglyUnicorn

I should of mention, you have to put the money in the bank after taxes, you can't throw it away

duskyfox

This tax (I believe) took from people's pockets as well as town banks. Putting it all in one place is (was) advisable to not get the tax double, but you can't avoid it by dumping all money in the town.
Also - Fuzzlr - I don't think this can be referred to as an "economy reduction." Reducing an economy? Impossible, unless you start nuking people. Economy is made of people and their needs.
This isn't reducing the economy. It's reducing the amount of money on the server. Get your terminology right, don't just use words to sound nice.

/eat is an awesome command. You don't donate for perks, but to support the server.

Khafra

Well I don't want to support a server where they don't listen to donators, but they did fix iron prices so that's the only thing I cared about
