I was just thinking about this, and thought i would throw this out to the community.
First off:
Assumption 1) MA make their money from decay.
They have stated this, and i personally believe it, so my theory is based off this. (I really don't want to hear the crap about, MA make money from deposits- withdrawals - , sh*t, that is NOT their business model.)
So: MA get their money from decay. I have always assumed it worked something like, you decay 100ped, you get back 90ped, MA take 10ped.
Wouldn't it be far simpler and easier to programme, that they make their cut at the point of decay.
For example, i have sword that decays 10ped per click, while dealing damage. What if MA took their money per click.
For example, i click the sword, it decays 10 ped, MA take 1 ped, loot pool gets 9 ped.
That way, MA NEVER would have to worry about getting their cut. And all money in the loot pool, would be exactly that, loot for the players.
This would work for every thing that decays in game. Crafting, hunting, mining
What do you think?
-this is disregarding auction etc.
