Feb 23, 2014: 20% Economy Reduction

+1 for the 20% reduction, definitely -1 for the 1% daily tax (though 1% weekly or monthly might not be so bad).

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.

 

I agree with lowering the eco but not a fan of 1% tax I can see a 1% one time tax but not a 1% everyday that I heard everyone on the server get mad.

Edit:why not just have everyone pay a one time for the eco change but richer people pay more than the poor to decrease the gap between the poor and rich.

Edit 2: just add more ways to spend meebles and just 1 time charge on everyone then that will be a good change for now.

 

they already killed all my villagers with the new towny update!

 

How can you stop people from buying items and selling them later?

 

Lets do this.

 

Can we please just give up on the tax idea, when people buy money online to donate, theres really no point anymore. Making the server lose money. There would also be no point to buy a rank anymore. PLEASE JUST GIVE UP WITH THE TAX IDEA!!!!! Please consider what I suggested to you in the skype call a couple months ago.

 

Add factions with eco and make a shared economy, though split inventories. People will make money in towny and spend it in factions on war.

 

This is happening tomorrow ok..... So 20% ok...

 

How about the idea in which the higher amount of meebles you got, the less percentage you get taxed? (you will be taxed for more meebles but for a smaller percentage). This will still make sure that everyone is taxed and players who have worked hard to earn larger amounts of meebles are not punished as hard.

< 1mil = 4% per month
< 5mil = 3.5% per month
< 10mil = 3% per month
< 50mil = 2.5% per month
< 100mil = 2.25% per month
< 250mil = 2% per month
< 500mil = 1.5% per month
< 1bil = 1% per month

Any thoughts on this idea?

 

There are two points to the planned tax/reduction.
1. Decrease the amount of meebles in cirulation
2. decrease the gap between rich and poor
This idea goes against number 2 and isn't effective for numbe 1 because the poor have less meebles to give. On top of all of that it makes earning money extremely hard

Otherwise around

 

no you're dumb

 

Hang on is this aswell as the 1% tax??? Please answer I need to know

 

no its not

 

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.

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 should pay the same tax percent.^^^ well said captaine

 

Sooo this means I'll loose money, correct? If so how much??
