My idea on how to balance eVe economy and remove too much ISKs. Before I present my idea, I want to make my post credible by declaring that I am a RL economist with many years experience.
Q. How to balance the economy and remove ISKs? A. My favourite word, tax.
Implementation.
eVe bank to tax 2% per transaction of ISKs transferred between players. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

By the way, it is eVe bank to tax 2% per transaction of ISKs transferred between players when players give ISKs to another character through trade window or wallet option.
We have tax on market trading, why not close this loop hole and have tax on ISKs transfer? --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Originally by: Ladyah Liandri Back on topic: tax on ISK transfers would solve what problem exactly?
Oh btw I second that question ... WHY?
In-game tax is not taxing. And tax is a good for eVe-onomy and this game. There is definitely a lot of ISKs floating in this game. Why is it not good to remove ISKs?
Trade window and wallet transfer taxes are loopholes. They are never taxed and encourage abuses. Contracts are taxed. Market trades are taxed. But not trade window and wallet transfer.
Newbs won't feel taxation because they do not have enough ISKs to feel the pinch because they are taxed in cents. Only well to do players who are already rich will contribute significantly to the 2% tax rate.
Trade window and wallet transfer taxes would discourage Jita-style scams, ISKs laundering and encourage active ISKs sink.
Taxing trade window and wallet transfer is to close a loop hole in this game. Markets and contracts are taxed, why not trade window and wallet transfer? It is balance to tax trade window and wallet transfer. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Originally by: CCP Wrangler Oh please no, I've had enough with real world taxes, and dealing with the tax agency. No more taxes!!
But it is fun to pretend to pay taxes in-game.  --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Originally by: SiJira apart from that explain why there would be tax on what is essentially two people meeting face to face - in station trading
and why there would be a tax on a private transaction? my wallet - your wallet
Because wiring money from one wallet to another wallet is a service from eVe bank and it is an income gain for the receiver.
And it is good to impose a service tax on the source for transferring ISKs and tax the receiver for the income gain. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Ok, I think you're officially trolling now.

Originally by: Kharadran Sullath I'm sure Dr.Eyj=G will know what to do once he's finished his first quarterly report.
I would be surprised if Eyj=G would not suggest taxes one day.
Originally by: sableye I don;nt want any silly isk sinks, we got more isk sinks now that ever before and whenambulationcomes out maybe all furniture and clothes will be sold via npc creating another isk sink, there shold be npc items sold for alot that ric people may want to buy, 100 mil isk for a pair of sun glasses ect.
I also think we need some pleasureyaughts that rich people can buy
When ambulation comes, I would be suggesting property taxes e.g. tax on offices, apartments, etc.

Originally by: Chrysalis D'lilth Why are there so many grammar police around? What difference does it make how you type Eve?
I cuold tyr nad poorve a pinot ubt i dno't tinhk ti's wrtoh my tmie.
Freaky.
Because at a certain point sticking with eVe like sweet Spenny Jitfire annoyingly does
eVe looks nice. If you don't like it, look elsewhere.
If anyone else thinks my point of view is rubbish i.e. sinking ISKs by taxing wallet transfers and trade windows, please ask Dr.Eyj=G to tell me it is rubbish and it will never ever be considered in-game. I will eat my humble pie and not post for 2 weeks. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Originally by: CrestoftheStars where is the bank that then gives % of your isk stored back to you each X time?
I do not mind CCP give us interest for depositing ISKs in savings.
Put interest rate at 0.05% or 1% to encourage people to spend and trade and not save too much ISKs.
Every time when players wallet transfers, tax is applied.
Originally by: nullity
Why exactly is it good to discourage scams? Scamming is a fun, challenging, and pretty rewarding in-game career. Why would you nerf content?
You can still scam but do it outside stations to avoid trade window tax or you can do contract scams. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Originally by: SiJira stop bumping this stupid thread and no the majority of the community does not support this
ask in any local
So Miss Intellectual, why is this idea stupid?
Removing ISKs is good for the game, isn't it?
Any method of ISKs removal is good in MMOG. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

Originally by: SiJira eve has a very active business market that would be hurt by this - some people issue shares others operate without them - both involve the movement of money that would be severely hurt by your idea
The thread is about sinking ISKs and where else is good for sinking ISKs if not at the spot where movement of money is active?
