Taulbee, Scamming and Tax

[Knumb]

Yesterday, Saturday Apr 11, Taulbee (Account KincersKlan) scammed me for 6.5k plat. I was supposed to purchase his diamond force, but instead he dropped a 'smokys hand', took my money and logged off. This is a conversation later, for added proof:

-Taulbee- (4/13/03 11:48:56 AM):

Knight Asht Knumb (Dustari) (4/13/03 11:48:36 AM):

Just a heads up, don't trade with him.

And now I'll probably be flamed for trading in this way. People trade, and are scammed, this way because of the incredible tax, at 20%. This tax seemingly encourages scamming. I propose we do away with it, or atleast lower it. Who pays tax a garage sale, or in private transactions? Feel free to post your opinion ;x

How can you mistake a diamond force for a smokies hand?

The kindgom leaders decide the tax..tell them to make it 0 and you wont have any problems!

The tax is set at 20% on main

Then make a revolution and take control of the kingdom -

Main island isn't a Kingdom X_X

He was referring to an actual kingdom, that you should take over it and make the king change taxes so trading on it would be cheaper.

That doesn't solve the high tax problem on main. X_x

You can still make the effort to go all the way over to the kingdom isles oh so far away and use the cheaper tax rates.

Yes, but most people are lazy/it takes too long for newer players (superior slowness)
