Great job cluttering up the GE - those pictures in the newspost look horrendous.

Just what the game needed - a tax on everyone that only helps pvmers. I'm sure noobs love their lobsters and their coal deflated.

Turnover taxes on a market exchange will inevitably be paid by buyer and make the buy/sell spread wider (inefficient). Why are you going to use money to buy expensive items propping up demand when supply is high? This is exactly opposite to what you should do if you don't want inflation...

This tax was a stupid idea. If you really wanted a nice gold sink make it on late game products on people who don't care about 1%. Instead you made it truncate at 500m..

The mind boggles the effective tax rate on a tbow is less than a rune scim. If you need any free tax/economics advice feel free to reach out.

This is a very, very bad update. Please undo this. I'd much rather you guys remove wilderness PVP or add the EOC. This is the very reason polls exist.

GE item sinks mean that many items will never be available to certain players who can neither afford them nor have the reflexes to get them as a drop.

Power creep is essential to the health and progress of a game. Without it, you have doomed OSRS to stagnation.

Taxation is theft!

Joking aside, this is the most hilarious thing to happen to OSRS. I suppose taxation won't be happening to RS3 given we have charity events and the Invention skill to delete gold and items, huh?

When a taxed trade takes place through the Grand Exchange, part of the taxes paid will be consigned to a virtual coffer. An automatic system will then use those funds to purchase specific items,
chosen by us
.


just wondering, why do you guys get to have all the say about what gets removed from the game and what doesn't, what about all that power to the players you always talk about.

now I'm not saying players should have all the power, but you shouldn't have all the power either, there should be checks and balances, you might update and manage the game but without us players, if everyone quit tomarrow it wouldn't be worth much, this is our game just as much as it is your game and i know you dont think so but its true,


zenyte shard / jewlery?
primordial/pegasian/eternal boots,
infinity robes
zulrah scales
harmonised orbs/other orbs
inquisitors helm/chest/legs/mace
justicar armour
barrow armour
dragon Warhammer
all godswords
abyssal bludgeon
draconic visage (its pitifully cheap right now)


lets make runescape pvm great again. Please.

Jagex have gone on record stating they don't poll updates that affect game balancing or unintended effects like glitches. Enjoy the taxation, bro.
