An Ease For New Players​

Detailed description:

Hello Pika Network Team!​

I returned after taking a 1–2 season break, and after playing again for 2 seasons, I noticed some major changes:

• Auction House now deducts 5 Gold tax on every single listing, even if:
  • the item price is very low,
  • or the seller barely has any Gold in their balance.
• Pay-to-Win players (a small part of the community) are now getting far more advantages than before.
• Free players (the majority) have noticeably fewer benefits compared to when they last played.
• Server events are heavily tied to the economy, but instead of improving it, they are causing:
  • inflation,
  • unstable market pricing,
  • and inconsistent item values.

Main Issue: 5 Gold Auction Tax​

The flat 5 Gold tax system feels unfair because:

• Free players earn Gold slowly.
• Most free players rely on auction to make progress.
• Losing 5 Gold just to list an item — especially early season — is discouraging and sometimes impossible.

In the light of the above points i want to make some suggestions on this issue.
1. Free Gold Auction Token System

• Each player receives 1 free auction token every month.
• The token allows 1 Gold auction listing without tax.
• No 5 Gold is deducted when the token is used.
• Players can choose when to use it anytime within the month.
• The token expires automatically when the month ends.
• This results in:
  • 2 free tokens per season (since a season lasts ~2 months on average).
• The token is universal, meaning:
  • Only 1 token per season can be used on 1 selected server, not across all servers.
  • This keeps the system fair and prevents exploitation.

OR

2.Enable Gold Trading via Trade Requests

• Players should be able to trade Gold directly, just like we already trade money, beacons, and items.
• This would let people actually help their friends when they’re low on Gold, without needing to risk losing Gold in auction tax.
• It would also cut down the use of auction just for Gold transfers, meaning fewer failed listings and less Gold wasted for no reason.
• Overall, this would make trading feel:
  • safer,
  • quicker,
  • and way less frustrating, especially at the start of a new season.

To Conclude The Suggestion:

This is the voice of NON-P2W players only;

• We genuinely love Pika Network and want to keep playing here for a long time.
• Our only request is a fairer and more balanced system that also supports players who can’t buy Gold.
• We hope the server grows with changes that most players actually want, need, and support.
• And if these suggestions still need work, we’d really appreciate it if the team could run polls on Discord so the community can vote and contribute to the final decision.

Thank You for reading this .​

Reason(s):

The suggestion i made up is very much needed in this server

1.Free Auction Token System — How It Helps

If every player receives 1 free Gold auction token per month, then:

• Besides, newbie or comeback players having from 0 to 4 Gold can dispose of valuable items by auction even without the fear of tax which will give them a fair starting opportunity.
  
  Once a month, the player can put an item up for sale without a tax, get Gold, and at a later stage, keep on selling via Gold auction at ease even with the 5 Gold tax.
  
  This measure provides a possibility for free, to, play players to sell either low or high, value Gold items once a month without the concern of losing their limited Gold.
  
  It lessens frustration, and therefore, more players will take part in the auction, and the whole thing is kept positive instead of negative.
  
  Besides, it supports most players to go forward in a normal way without hurting the servers income or balance.

2. Gold Trading System — How It Improves Gameplay

If Gold trading is enabled through trade requests, then:

• This has been averted numerous times by staff in the past suggestions. This won't flood the Auction House, as players will still use the auction for profit and exposure, not just as a Gold transfer medium.
  
  Players are now also able to share or gift Gold to friends. This feature allows not only to strengthen the community but also to encourage teamwork.
  
  Safe Gold trading eliminates the possibility of:
  
  getting scammed when doing item, for, Gold trades, losing Gold on auction listings that didn't sell, or putting up items for sale without knowing if the buyer is trustworthy, just guessing.Suppose direct player, to, player trade is at the core of the game's economy rather than the Auction House. In that case, the former becomes a safe and fair channel of exchange, and the latter doesn't have to be the only option even if it's risky.
  
  Gold listing on auctions remains valuable if it does not get overcrowded or unstable.

To Conclude The Reasonings:

• Give struggling players a fairer opportunity to earn Gold,
• make trading safer and more community-friendly,
• and improve the economy by reducing forced auction dependency.

We love Pika Network and want to support it, but we also want updates that help the majority who cannot buy Gold, so the server remains enjoyable and fair for everyone.​

Example(s):

1.If we get a free token:

• A player joins a server as a newbie and after lots and lots of hours spent grinding he finally pulls out something that can be sold for gold but he doesnt have any gold. This will leave his stuck there , hopeless and disheartened. Indirectly leading to calling off a farewell to excitment and the server .
• Now, a player joins a server as a newbie and after lots and lots of hours spent grinding he finally pulls out something that can be sold for gold but he doesnt have any gold. Now he have a free token and he uses it to sell the item and gets the gold in his vault now he is happy , he buys new items and help run the auction house. Now when he gets another good item to be sold he dont need to worry for the gold, he just uses the gold he earned from his free auction token.

2.If we get to trade gold;

• Player A wants to sell his items on auction for gold but he dont have any gold. Now he can trade the item with the player B who wants the buy it and the player B gives player A gold via trade. Now both players are happy and continue onto the server.
• Player A tells player B to list an item on the auction for gold that he want to buy. Player B lists the item on auction after paying the 5 gold tax but the player A never buys the auction . The 5 gold of player B gets wasted .

There could be many other examples too but these are the very basic exams i could just mention.

Kindly look into this we despiretly want any of these in our beloved server.​

Your suggestion is mainly based to remove gold tax but this suggestion is already denied like 3-4 times.

ngl you wrote good but tbh i only read discription and reasons but still no one reads this much you should compress it.

2 hours means you typing slow it can be typed in 30 mins or less.

Anytime there is an effort post made people always reply with something like "I'm not reading that." But I don't understand why can't you just read the whole thing? He clearly put in a lot of effort making this post, same with anyone who makes lengthy posts, it only takes a couple minutes to read it.

At the very least if you're not going to read it, don't discourage him by saying "Nobody is reading that much," that's just going to discourage him from making detailed effort posts which the forums needs desperately. The forums is full of either low-effort posts or lazy AI generated posts/suggestions, we need more of this content.

I said I don't read examples except it I read everything as you also know QuFox ain't reading this much.
