In short, I think the tax is okay, however I don't think dev time should've been wasted when the community as a whole was so divided towards it.

 

That being said, I think a great money sink would be to add a cost to Mithril Seeds @ gamble via a shop.

 

Right now there are two ways to get mithril seeds:

Spoiler

 

Why not put a store at gamble for people to buy seeds at? Somewhere in the range of 500k? It would be a brilliant money sink.

Omi already makes donation money from people buying the dice bag, and I don't see much reason to keep mithril seeds in the shop to be honest.

Helping the economy will prolong the server.. unless it just needs (dun dun dun).. more IRL money, which I'm 95% sure is not the case.

 

This would be a much better option than a TP tax which will just widen the gap between the very rich and poor. 

 

What do you think? 

Any other ideas for money sinks?

Suuport! That way seeds are a steady price and a new money sink is added.

I support this idea; there should be more ways to obtain mithril seeds imo. Thanks for the suggestion :)

I agree, I mean the trade post tax does work.. to some extent.. but there is no doubt it will be very minimal on the large scale of things. Sooo many other ways to "sink" money from the game such as adding these seeds to a gambler shop. Gamblers aren't going to care lmao, they already have to buy the seeds anyway. And plus it will affect nobody else.

Great suggestion if people would use their brains isntead of putting in this tp tax...? That half the server didn't want. wthhhh

Bonds are always fluctuating, so the mithril seeds would become obsolete in the donor shop, or via the GP method... does that mke sense?

 

One would become better than the other making one of the methods dead content.

The seeds would be removed from the donor shop. 

Sorry I thought that it was implied (see below).

 

Omi already makes donation money from people buying the dice bag, and I don't see much reason to keep mithril seeds in the shop to be honest.

 

5m completely removed from the game each FP game and directly from the pockets of people who won't notice it.

Funny how merchers have made mithril seeds cost 500k. Well I would support the shop idea but is it really necessary to drop em to 500k ea? More like 250k

Na, I think that 500k is a good price.

They are 12 store credits for 25 seeds, which roughly translate to 500k per seed.

I think this is a great idea. There is already a "Gambler" NPC @ ::gamble that would be perfect for this.

 

Also make it so you cannot sell them back to the shop
