I dont know, but it seems since the OP has not returned to participate in his thread since he made it, that he was presenting a controversial suggestion to get attention and maybe even to rile folks up.

If that's the case, it worked. At least one poor soul came and vented their frustration regarding the tax, as evidenced by the hidden posts and threads that can be seen all about.

Its sad that that would happen to someone just because they were not happy.

I was also thinking about people that maybe had valueable stuff on the GE already when the tax took effect, and they took a hit that they were not expecting. If so, it could of been a big enough hit to really raise some folks blood pressure.

It is what it is.

The man who is -correction, was - "investing in rares" wants people to stop being greedy, lmao.

A huge hit is relative to the wealth of each player overall.

Lets say I got my hands on a FSOA. We will value it at 3.2 Billion gps, and I had it on the GE prior to the update. Once I went to collect my gps, after the update, I received 64 Million gps less than I expected.

That may not be a big hit for someone that pulled 14 phats from crackers, but for me, that would be massive. Maybe even more than I have now in my bank in coin.

Also, I stink at math so if my figures arent correct, please advise. Thanks.


Welcome back, btw. So, you havent played the game since 2016?

Mel is correct 100%

Taxation has negative effects on the game, it mirrors society.

Like society in general, the 'game' will inevitably feel pressure to increase the tax because over time the 2% will have less of the expected and desired effect.

What happens with the grind tax if a player has no gp in bank and no shards?


Legit if it was up to me they would owe money till they get coins to pay it back but...I could see jagex just waving the fee for now.

Nothing crazy maybe 500k gp every day they are gone they now owe jagex.

Will even exempt new players for the first 100 days of playing or until their bank gets over 100m as long as they are premium members.
