I use the auction house just as much as the next guy. I like the idea. We need a gold sink....

Maybe like 7%...

What would the money be used for? Seems pointless to me

I say no to tax but instead yes to a lottery instead. that way there is still a gold sink in the game and promotes people to willingly give their gold away.

The money is to keep the rich from getting more rich and the money ingame needs a place to go. We have over 100 players with over 20m GP and they just make more and never spend... Need a sink to keep the economy stable.

+1 a willing gold sink would be preferred or even organized events with an entry fee.

Or hell why not make the clue scrolls a gold sink. Find a scroll do the shit and opening the chest at the end costs gp.

Well you geniuses forgot that people can still trade tax free...

A tax on AH usage will just deter people from using it, which then causes less people using AH, which then makes AH useless and makes having an AH pointless.

Want a gold sink? Introduce lottery system

1) its not a tax
2) its not going to be spent on anything (rofl)
3) its simply a gold sink guarding against hyper inflation
4) stop being so fucking reactionary, geez

1. Pretty sure adding a "% fine" to a sale is called taxing
2. Your gold sink would just make people use the traditional trade function more.
3. Hyper inflation at the moment isn't a problem
4. I was just explaining that less people would use the AH which would of just make adding the AH in the first place pointless.

Right, so every other online game with any form of a trade hub or auction house, products of billion dollar companies came up with this, and do this just to piss off the enudacted part of their customer base?

What do you think the central banks of the real world do when they "regulate the money supply". Thats right, they take out money or create more money to adjust inflation rates. the principal is no different here

This is just an online game, take your real life economics and shove them up your booty. RS economics is not the same as real life.

We create new gp all day long every single day, and with 0 gold sinks in the game, it will simply mean that more and more gp will pile up, not actually making anyone any richer than they are now, but simply means the relation of gp to items in terms of value changes, to the point where thieving, high alching and picking up drops become entirely pointless activities.

You're right that we do create gold all day (thieving, high alch, selling shit to game stores) but guess what else is coming into the game....resources *gasp* resources are keeping gold in check cause more high value resources are entering the game than gold per day. GG

beatdown said:

If every player has an average of 1b gp available, it would simply mean every swordfish would cost 25k gp instead of 650, etc. but the actual value would still entirely be supply and demand based.
or if there was a total of 5k gold in the entire game, a swordfish would simply cost 0.000004 gp each, etc.

Lol'd and does the average player have 1b gp available?

AH provides a valuable service - the sale of goods regardless of if the seller is online. A rounded-down 1% gp sink on on every item would be totally uncontroversial.
