fix'd

Anyway, that's why you have tax levels. Noobs wouldn't even notice them.

The rich don't need buffs, they most likely already have some strong weapon to begin with. I like the idea of Graalroids, could have a positive effect in gym training too but side effect would be what you just said.

Sounds like someone isn't too good
The buffs wouldn't be expensive, so everyone could afford it.
btw, I've been playing Era since I heard about this issues. I wanted to see it for myself.
I'm not rich, don't have many kills, etc. I know there's a problem. I've seen guns going for over 50k. It shouldn't be that far out of the reach of people who do normal jobs. making those guns use different, and very expensive ammo, would mean that the rich people would be spending more. Make the ammo pretty much infinite in the store's stock, so no one can buy it all and charge high prices (bring back that building guns/ammo thing, so the stores are never out of stock).

You can't just target a group of players like that though. You CAN but it'll piss people off and the last thing you want is people quiting.

How would the buffs help level things out?

You tax people who have more than a certain amount in the bank. People will start carrying it on them, so you increase the drop. People will either lose money to the system (money deleted), or spread it around to others.

Noobs will be able to pay for it as well, and richer people will need to keep paying for it as well. Gets the money flowing out of their pockets.
