Implementing a gp sink via GE tax is the laziest solution possible. Very disappointed in the lack of creativity here. Bring back the team who came up with Invention.

I believe the GE Tax will cost us way more over the course of our RS careers vs old death costs as well.

A better solution would have been making a new skill with a large gp sink via required items from NPC vendors and ensuring the new skill is meta af.

Would have been more creative instead of the generic MMO sales tax solution.

Thoughts?

Since you mentioned death cost, you should know GE Tax is not a straight gp sink but a economic balancing mechanism together with reduction of death tax.

We do have a new skill confirmed in RS3. Maybe we will get a large gp sink there like Invention too, Why can't we have the trios of new skill gp sink, GE tax and reduction of tax cost together?

Again, this was addressed in my first post - GE Tax alone as a gp sink is lazy but GE Tax + Reduction of Death Tax requires a lot of thoughts and analysis of data.
