GǪ. Let me apologize in advance for doing this, but every once in a while, I MUST laugh at and ridicule Dust-forum posters sometimes.
Not ALL posters, thank goodness. Some on this forum live in the Real, take time to digest a subject that they're wading into the middle of, can WAIT till more reliable details come out, never get duped by crippled claims OTHERS are presuming they know know so much about, and NEVER are Gomer-Pyle enough to pick up a torch and follow the rest of the villagers just because one member says she saw them building Frankenstein's monster around the corner, and we're gonna go burn 'em all outGǪ.....

Nearly EVERY image, jpg, png, screenshot, concept art, Fanfest promo pic, that CCP has ever released on this Forum has been "TEST PURPOSES ONLY" in appearance, or "WORK IN PROGRESS", and usually differs so significantly from the FINAL version, that some players like myself actually built albums on our PS3 photo galleries, to save CCP's development-screenshots as collector's items, LOL.

What surprises me is how many regular Forum followers DON'T notice that fact yet----so they STILL explode out of their chairs to "be the villager grabbing the torch again"GǪbecause the screenshot showed 150 giga-joules on a Neo-Menu instead of on a Neo-Com. (What!? The NeoCom is being replaced? EVE-Online has a NeoCom, and if CCP doesn't restore it at once, let's shut this whole mother down and---HolyGǪ.)
LOL, the fact that we keep repeating the same false alarms and "50th-time-assumptions" like these, so long after we ought to have learned the pattern by now, is the only real "WTF" issue in this Forum.

GǪIs there even any worth in contributing to the topic? Okay. Dust is a New Eden game----everything in New Eden is taxed, charged, or gimmicked by corps out there. I heard that if you're an EVE Mining player, you get taxed/tariffed just for selling ore in a quadrant belonging to a Faction you never did any personal missions for, when you have only Level-2 SP on your "negotiation" skills.
Say WHAT?


Dust doesn't have that kind of nefarious tax system. But it's New Eden, so we should expect some kind of fee gimmick.

If EVE-Online doesn't have exactly the same kind of tax-gimmick that Dust ends up with---I don't care. We ain't EVE-Online. We're DUST 514!

There are NPC/station tax and transaction fees in EVE. This is reasonable...yet the numbers in that pic seem high.
Also there are trading skills in EVE and loyalty points that you can build up with station agents to lower those fees considerably.

Maybe that's an option CCP Rattati can pursue.

The fee is much lower than 10%, we haven't really decided on a final fee. That screenshot was just some QA test.

-snip-

where does the money from the tax go? if the answer is no where then it's kind of stupid.

i'm all the sudden interested in trading...

i get an advantage over the poors, yes please sign me up.

Can the fee within corp "trading" be set to 0%?

This makes it easier for logistics officers to not require huge stockpiles of ISK. It also makes belonging to a corp more important.

This also require an extra step in Alt farming as they are by default placed in a NPC corp.

Brilliant. I think in corp trading at 0% is a fantastic idea. Or at least, let the fee go to the corp if there's in-corp trading.

This is not acceptable CCP. There should be no trading fee for sending items. I dont want that only the rich are entitled to trade. For example in the devlbog there is a small note called "trade fee". Seriously do i really need to dump more ISK into NPC's then i allready do? Proof can be seen here:

The reason these taxes exist in eve is to provide a sink for currency to leave the game through. Most MMOs have plenty of currency faucets but no sinks. After a few years in Everquest, for example, the average player was so absurdly wealthy that even low end drops were being sold for prices that a new player who had reached the appropriate level for the item could never even come close to affording it.

This lack of sinks wasn't such an issue before now in Dust because trading wasn't a thing, and every item you bought resulted in isk leaving the economy. Player to player trades result in isk moving, but not leaving the economy. As players start to take control over more of the economy this will eventually cause hyper-inflation, unless you put in some taxes that suck isk out. This will only really become critical if / when players start to create the equipment being sold, either through some sort of manufacturing or a loot process.

This quote hasn't been quoted enough, as in 0.

Please, take the time to read it, understand it, and try to see the logic.

It makes sense if you take the time to read it.

They didn't give AF

Sry, what is AF?

Lies the fee on the game is exactly 10% now. For example a balacs-Gar 21 costs 126,495ISK in the NPC market yet the Traiding fee is 12,695 ISK. So please elaborate how that happend. I got you now ratatti and nowhere to hide.

Are you intent on being banned? I do not lie to the community. I made a statement, based on the information I had, and that was not 10% and is not supposed to be 10%. The definition of that is a bug, not a lie.
