    Suggestion: I fell that the lotto tax should be lowered to 10% for the following reason.

    1. If a user decides to do a 100vs100 170k will be in the pot. Whichever user wins the person only makes 70% profit. By looking at it from this angle if the tax was lowered to 10% the user would make 80% profit which is fair. I feel like the current 15% tax tricks users into thinking you will make 85% profit when really you only make 70% profit. I know this may sound confusing and I will gladly discuss it with many ingame just pm me :)

    but by that logic, with a 10% tax, couldn't people think they'd have 90% profit and only get 80?

    Doesn't change anything regarding that logic really.

    it would make it closer to the current thinking of getting 85% profit

    You're taking away 33% from the biggest money grab on the server. IMO, seems like a big risk to even test it.

    Sure, players *might* buy more tickets. But it's only 5%.

    Ty for not expressing your opinion with explanation, rather what than what you did, post a negative comment that is pointless. Shocking from you.

    no.

    Anyway, in all seriousness, if you really want an explanation, i'll give it to ya; You're effectively getting taxed at a 30% rate, which is deceptive, as in matrix's example.

    I wish it was just put back to the 5% tax. We are losing more and more players by the month which means we are generating less and less economically as a server. Taking money out of the server at the current time doesnt seem like the best idea to me personally.
