Sir, firstly you should ask LA owners, why they can't raise tax above 10%, and then think about it. They will not answer, so - ask then MA. MA will not answer too, believe me.
I was genuinely interested in what your logic was.
So you believe that tax doesn't effect TT returns because MA essentially swallows the tax defecit by increasing your TT returns by the ammount of tax the LA owner has set?
In which case I would simply say: why would MA give the LA owner the option of 0-10% at all and just set the tax themselves. It isn't really logical, but you are entitled to whatever belief you want. I can't prove otherwise, though your very own log is evidence that your wrong.
And lastly - even if I am mining on taxed - it doesn't mean that I mining for crap here
I don't think anybody implied you were, but we were speaking in terms of TT, not MU.
, also - it would be stupid to explain only by tax (which in my case influences me for ~2.5%) - why my returns since FUCKING JULY became 78%.
I can't answer this. To be honest, it's the only thing like it I've seen. No other log is showing this kind of defecit over so much cycled over this ammount of time. Unfortunate for you, but doesn't seem to be happening to everybody: you are either very unlucky or mis-recording. I won't argue about this.
From my side - explanation is in Collapso's Auction - which is shrinked from 1000+ pages to fucking 770+.
I do not see the correlation, unless you imply because there are less players, your %age of returns would decrease, which isn't logical. Whether there is 100000000000000 ped or 100 ped being cycled platform wide, the return would still be a stable %age, and doesn't effect you personally (markup is a different story). The other answer to this is that EU is a Ponzi scheme, whereby due to a 'decrease in investors' they cannot pay you out the proper return. I won't argue here either, it's up to you what you believe - I can't prove anything either way, all I would say is if you believe this, why are you here?
Explanation is in fucked up craft, where is consumption of resources is at the bottom, compared to previous couple of years. You can look up graphs for most resources, it's just a couple of clicks.
Crafting is indeed broken, the crafting trees are poorly designed and too many of the better items are dropping from hunting.
This doesn't effect your TT returns. It does effect markup, sales volume, and ultimately, the number of players in the game (I believe it is the fundamental flaw in the game). Crafting needs a rehaul and should ideally be a 100% return system, not 90% like mining and hunting.
Explanation is also in lot of uber guns and such gear, selling more and more at AH.
n.
Explanation is also in uber-resellers, who just cashed out and quits.
Explanation is also in going down prices for LAs and shit like that.
Explanation is in PPs, who shrinking down their servers (RT, Cyrene)
Not sure how this effects your TT returns at all, it can imply many things to do with the state of the economy, but that's a completely different conversation. Again, any of these are only reasons for a low return if EU is a ponzi scheme.
Funny, but my peak of 92% was "influenced" by "tax" too?
