Taxes are to fix economy in Old School Runescape

Players complain that Old School RuneScape has economics problems. That s why Jaguar decides to take matters into your hands and do something about it. Developers recognized that taxes will fix all the ills, thanks to which the situation on the servers will return to normal. This is at least a plan!

Okay, but what will be taxed? In order to combat inflation, JAGEX will tax exchange / trade between players, calling the whole Grand Exchange Tax. 2% of gold will be collected as a fee when there will be a transaction, with the buyer to pay a normal amount, and this seller will pay a tax on his earnings. In this way, the creators want to make a slight currency disappear from the game.

It is worth adding that currently there is no tax, and said 2% are just a proposal. It is not known if Old School RuneScape will have a higher or lower tax — Jaguar will inform about it at the update entry. However, this is not the end!

The company plans to use gold collected thanks to this tax, Grand Exchange Tax to buy items from players that lie on the auction and are wasting. The creators noticed that more equipment is exposed to sale than a realistically bought. Therefore, so that the market would be smoother, they would like to buy the objects so gathered and remove them from the game. This will take place rarely and only in exceptional (concrete) situations, so there will be no possibility to spend the market objects, because the system will buy them.

Jaguar also plans to change in buying a place in the bank so that the player can purchase every block separately, with a growing price. You will pay a million zlotys of coins for the first slot, and for the tenth block it would be 500 million zlotys of coins.
