Most of us have to pay to play this game, and that is why we love it. However, right now there are too many leeches, sucking in and withdrawing our PEDs, without contributing anything to the game’s economy. Inactive resellers, hoarding high value items, pushing up the prices and looking for idiots to pay for their overpriced and overrated stuff (I wonder if that 37 DPS FEN chip on auction ATM will sell for 33k PED, and I wonder how much that reseller paid for it, probably like 10 times less). We got avatars, who stand in front of the auctioneer 24/7 without moving one single inch, bidding on everything they could resell for a profit, some of them using alternative accounts to get more auction slots.
Now my point is, as a player who pays to play, I’d like there to be more PEDs in the loot pool, instead we have leeches withdrawing PEDs, and the rest of us end up having to pay for it. This is very unfair and extremely disappointing. I know that MA started banning some shady characters, or declining their withdrawals (opal guy), but that's not nearly enough.
As a possible solution I suggest that MA introduces a new rule, taxing the withdrawals of players with 0 turnover, like in real life we got income tax, value added tax or whatever other tax. The PEDs that were withheld from being withdrawn in such a manner should go back to the loot pool. What percentage of the leeches’ withdrawals should be withheld this way, I don’t know, maybe 20-30%? What do you guys think?
