NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!

Wizets instalation of a "Tax" system is unjust and unfair. There is no benefit for ANYBODY with this. It will only damage the fragile Maple Story Trading Community.

RALLY TOGETHER!!

Buy Megaphones and chant:

No that's a real bad idea,cause you got buy a lvl 35 equip that cost like 100k,so you do 10k each but the seller might runaway with the cash.

It's so unfair,Wizet dind't even say this will happen! :angry:

Like IrishMonkey say's"NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!"

Wizet posted this on mapleglobal.com:

Following the patch v. 0.17, we received many inquiries regarding a new update to MapleStory, the Tax System.



What is it?



Since the latest patch, trades or purchases from personal stores in the free market now deduct a tax from the total purchase price. The tax is collected after a meso involving transaction between two players and is inclusive in the total selling price. A small percentage of the price paid by the buyer will be taken as TAX before the money reaches the seller. The seller should always be aware of the tax, and needs to include it as part of the asking price.



For example, if player A sells an item to player B for 100,000 mesos, Player A will receive slightly less than 100,000 mesos after tax. Player B will pay 100,000 mesos as the tax is deducted from the selling price.



The tax is not deducted from every purchase and effects larger purchases following a tax table (refer to tax tables for trades and store purchases in the game).



Why?



Please understand that the tax system is not an evil collection agency. Also, it is not unique to the global version of MapleStory. The tax system is put in place to fight a critical danger that plagues many online games, INFLATION. Without the tax system, prices for items will gradually increase creating an imbalance in the game. When the tax is deducted from a trade or transaction, the mesos leave the world curbing inflation.



The tax system takes place after every transaction between two players. A small percentage of the price paid by the buyer will be taken as TAX before the money reaches the seller.

All prices that are displayed should include a small set of tax rate.



Why is the tax lower for personal stores?



The tax rate is slightly lower for personal stores available now using regular store permits sold in the cash shop. Why? Sure, we want to make money, but the lower tax is not the main reason why people buy the store permits. Store permits are really excellent ways to deal in MapleStory and store managers play an important role in MapleStory's economy, game play, and community. Some of you have voiced that we should lower the tax for trades to be fair. If we were to make the taxes the same, we would raise the taxes in the stores before lowering the taxes in trades (because of inflation). In some ways, you can think of stores getting a volume discount in taxes).



Another reason we lowered the tax for personal stores is to promote the Free Market (Stores must be opened in the Free Market).



The Free Market plays an important role in MapleStory in many ways.



1) In decreases lag. (Perion Channel 1?)

2) It makes trading easier. (In Perion, players would overlap making trading very difficult).

3) Increases community. All the free markets are connected. For example, if you go to the Free Market from Ossyria and your friend goes to the Free Market from Victoria Island, the two of you will be able to meet in the market (when you leave the Free Market, you will go back to the entry of origin). It's a great way to meet your friends and trade when playing from distant maps.



We hope you can come to understand the necessity of the Tax System and know we are always working hard to bring you a better service. Now go check out the Free Market =)!
