Remove 5 Gold Tax​

Detailed description:

Dear Pika Dev Team,​

​

I would like to share an important suggestion regarding the 5 Gold tax, especially considering the nature of Gold in Pika.​

​

Gold is a premium currency obtained through real-life money, not through normal gameplay. Because of this, losing Gold due to in-game taxes can feel unfair and discouraging for players.​

​

Reasons to Remove the 5 Gold Tax:​

​

​

• Gold is purchased with real money, so taxing it feels like players are being charged twice.
• Players expect premium currency to have full value, without hidden or forced deductions.
• New players may feel disappointed when they lose Gold after spending real money.
• Removing the tax would make the server feel more fair, transparent, and player-friendly.
• A tax-free system encourages players to use Gold more freely, increasing engagement and satisfaction.

Since Gold already has a real-life cost, removing the 5 Gold tax would improve trust, player happiness, and overall server experience.​

​

Thank you for your time and for continuously working to improve the server.​

​

Kind regards,​

Reasons to Remove 5 Gold Tax​

• Gold is a real-money currency
  Gold is purchased using real-life money, so taxing it feels unfair to players.
• Feels like double charging
  Players already spend money to get Gold, and losing 5 Gold during gameplay feels like being charged twice.
• Discourages spending Gold
  Players may hesitate to use Gold if part of it is automatically deducted, reducing engagement and activity.
• Unfriendly for new players
  New players losing Gold after their first purchase may feel disappointed or discouraged.
• Premium currency should retain full value
  Gold, as a premium currency, should not have hidden deductions or forced taxes.
• Improves player satisfaction
  Removing the tax increases fairness, trust, and motivation to stay active on the server.

Example(s):

​

1. Scenario
   Player “Alex” buys 50 Gold with real money to enjoy the game faster.
2. Current System (with 5 Gold tax)
   Every time Alex does a transaction or action that triggers the tax, 5 Gold is automatically deducted.
   • Result: Player feels like they paid real money but lost Gold for no reason.
   • Frustration increases, engagement decreases.
3. Proposed System (tax removed)
   Now, Alex keeps all Goldthey purchased.
   • Result: Player feels rewarded, respected, and motivated to continue spending Gold.
   • This encourages more in-game activity and engagement.
