I know GP sink is important. my idea is to impose a tax on the AH. just like in every day life. Sales tax so to speak. 6-10% of cost of item. so item is 1000gp the buyer buys it for 1006-1010gp. its not a huge offset and doesn't affect the buyer a whole lot but times those transactions by a lot and it could be very beneficial to the server.

It would make large purchases go to manual trade windows.  It would revert all rare sales to having to be broadcast in general.   I'm not going to want to pay 10,600,000 for a phat when I could buy it for 10,000,000 via a manual trade. 

Also, 6% of 1,000 is 60, not 6.

Always disliked games with AH taxes. -1
Money sinks are good and a necessity, but there's many other ways to go about implementing them smile
No need to make the auction house even more dead than it already is at the moment.

We have been thinking about an AH tax for a long time, but I do not think that we ever gonna do it...

RSCR currently has a few gp sinks implemented: skill cape purchases, gloves and boots purchases in Champions guild, tax on event entries, tax on lottery tickets, buying rights for wearing quest items.

I absolutely detested WoW’s AH Tax system and was only thinking the other day just how appreciative I was that RSCR had nothing like it.

Close this thread and forget about this suggestion.

nope. gold sinks are important but not like this. not even the real rscrevolution's "Grand Exchage" has tax on selling and buying.
