Going out to find the rarest of items is an essential part of ANY RPG. With the recent updates they have killed the drop rates. At the core of this is a need to limit the economy since so many dishonest people have resorted to bots and mass farming to try and become millionaires. Personally I don't care about money in this game, but I do care aobut them taking away the fun of seeking out rare items.

Here is my suggestion. Instead of nerfing the drop rates and taking all of the fun out of the game, why don't they TAX all of these trades? Let's say that any trade over 1k is taxed.

There are multiple way that the tax could affect the trade. The purchaser could pay the tax, but then you get the little guys being ripped off even more, so I recommend that the seller be taxed. This would take gold out of the economy and allow them to keep the drop rate up.

The tax rate could go as high as 10-20% and be taken off of the top of the trade.

Interesting idea, and I like the percentage of tax, as this would hurt even the 100k+ trades if they have to pay 10k-20k+.

As far as the bots go they've banned over 100 accounts for doing this. But i've actually gotten alot of pretty good drops just playing missions. Shiverpeak Missions have been pretty good.
