Gold Tax Adjustments
Detailed description:
In many game modes, we currently have the ability to trade items for gold via the auction house or player shops. There's a tax of 5 gold when you list an item for sale, meaning that 5 gold is deducted from your account as soon as the item is listed.
However, I’d like to suggest a different approach:
Instead of deducting the 5 gold immediately when you list the item, let’s make it an in-hold payment. Here’s how it would work: when you list an item for sale, the 5 gold will be temporarily held, but not deducted right away. If the item sells, the 5 gold will be taken from your account. If the item is unsold or you remove it from the listing, the 5 gold will be returned to you.
Read reason and example and come back to this section below
if this seems more complicated, we can make it to sell something for gold the minimum amount you can input is 6, so if the item price is 1, the tax is applied to the buyer, and they pay 6 gold for a 1 gold value (5 is the tax and 1 is the price)
I know keeping tax as is it right now is making an economy balance between trades, and it will not lead to inflation in the future. but still there's no way to gain gold other than being bought from the store and traded from a player to another, keep in mind skymines doesn't have any tax on trading gold so, it was worth to make gold being tradable, why not changing how the tax works
Reason(s):
When you list an item, the 5 gold tax is immediately charged, even if the item doesn’t sell. This can be frustrating, especially for players who list items that may not sell quickly, are worth less than the tax itself, or who decide to remove the listing later.
Example(s):
When you run the command /goldshop, you'll see a gold icon. If you hover over it, it might display something like:
Gold Balance: 100 (5)
- 100 is your actual gold balance — the amount you currently have available.
- (5) represents the gold held as a tax for an active item listing — it’s on hold and will only be deducted if the item sells. If the item is removed or doesn't sell, the 5 gold will be returned to your balance.
