Quick find code: 74-75-579-66273705
Im curious...
Would you still request a tax cap if it meant a need to return to higher death costs in exchange?

I dont see anyone selling phats. I see people trying to buy them. Never saw a completed transaction.
I would never buy a phat at any price. It does nothing to enhance gameplay. I dont like the tax at all, but that's neither here nor there.
Ive answered your question - bad example really. The only items that have status in the game for me are those that can help me accomplish a goal. A phat wont do that, unless my only goal is to stand at the bank trying to lend one out for a 1 or 2M an hour.
Would he be willing to to take on paying for his Death Costs again in exchange for having no tax, or a tax cap like he requested?

It seems like Lumbys Hero hasnt returned to his thread in a week. Too bad. I mean if he was serious, he would keep an eye on it and participate in it, right?

Sorry buddy, I am a union steel worker and don't have too much time for RS anymore (about one day a week for a few hours).
to your comment:
I could care less about death costs. I don't boss nor do I think they were insanely expensive with the Ring of Death. The current death system is 1000% better then the system I grew up with in RSC.
The point your missing is it would be nice to see people trading items in the GE instead of avoiding the GE due to the insanely high tax on expensive items. An expensive item could be a discontinued rare or some of the best gear in the game. I can see your not thrilled about phats or something?
Anyway, instead of the same five to ten merchants out in front of the GE flipping the stuff, I hope the trades do occur in the GE but the 2% tax on items that cost a fortune is a huge deterrent.

Oh no. Im not missing your point, but it would be unfair if the tax was not simply removed entirely.
You know - one man's garbage is another man's treasure and all that.
They tried to sell the tax as it being needed to cover the coin skimmed out of the game from Death Costs which would naturally *ahem* lead more people to try PVM in someone's opinion.
Thanks for your reply. I like your relatively mature outlook on the topic.

When you died, ten people would run over and loot your gear while you spawned in Lumby naked with three items.
