Nope. Hail liberalism. Period.


I hope you mean classical liberalism :)

Also, taxation is theft - at least in real life. BOOM. I said it.


Yeah, you said it. A total nonsense. Lol.
Its like saying that your kid is stealing money from you, because you have to spend money on it's food.

Taxes by themselves are not a problem - what happens with them can be a problem.

Because committing to being governed is a decision two adults make when they love each other very much.

You know what taxes are more like? Forcing a minor to get a job so he can hand a quarter of his check over to his parents.

Basically, rent. You know, that thing you pay simply for occupying space, while the owner provides as little service back as they can get away with. It's an agreement which only works because it doesn't get much better anywhere else you could go.

I wouldn't go so far as to say rent is theft. But fuck landlords.

How are taxes forcing you to work? Lol. Bad example. :P

EDIT: I hope you realize that landlords and renting of flats exist because people can own them (flats), which comes directly from liberalism and capitalism? :P They own stuff, so they make money (even tho they don't have to work all that much), so the buy even more stuff, so they make even more money, and you can do nothing about it. You can't force them to make these offers better, because they have right to own things and do whatever they want. Even if it means ruining it for everyone. (sometimes themselves included)

Extreme socialism is as bad as extreme liberalism, I'd say. But who'd listen to me, I'm just a silly GD shit poster. :P

Taxes is a stupid idea. Only thing needed in PoE is asynchronous trade. How can GGG ever expect there to be a healthy economy when the fundamental game function for trading (trade chat) is flawed. Making a successful trade by requiring the seller to be on-line is crazy stupid, and trade chat bot spamming is polluting the chat channels. Only by GGG delivering asynchronous trade function can PoE economy grow. Trade Chat is holding us back big time and making for many more self-found players than need be (and many more who have perm-quit). GGG loses (has lost) many players because of this.
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

Above my pay grade. I'm not a computer programmer I drive heavy equipment and supervise guys doing the same. But I'm sure blizz could have if they wanted. 5-6 months is just ridiculous time to be running bots.

They obviously could detect them because they did ban them from time to time. Just every 5-6 months instead of more frequently making it unprofitable for the botters.


Many games have dedicated teams to catch these botters. Botting doesn't stopped, it just reduce their numbers. Let's do this for another 5 years and you realize this solution offer players little benefit.

Gaming Companies aren't doing individual ban but rather Ban Waves. Banning individually alert the rest of the botters or its creator that you're onto them. Making them harder to catch. They need to study and figure out how they work, making it easier to find and identify these bots. Catching them all in one fell swoop. Thus 5-6 months Ban Waves Or whatever you call it.

I think that's the thing I'm going for. The big problem with video game economies is that it's too easy for players to produce stuff while there's no real sinks. We need better item/currency sinks or everything will become worthless do to over abundance.

For example, what if there was a event that goes, "if you're above level 50, your exp gain is reduced by 90 percent. This penalty will be negated for a week if a certain NPC is given 50,000 axes with at least a 25%+ physical damage bonus. Any player in the league can gives axes to fulfill this."

Would players be willing to put up with events like that if it means that the economy will be "healthy," whatever that means?
