Answered why do we get taxed on the auctions?

[DannyV]

so basically why do we get taxed and where does the money taxed go to??? 

[Patrick]

The taxed money goes nowhere, it’s just removed from the game.

The reason this is there is because like any economy, digital or otherwise, there needs to be costs so prices don’t inflate. It’s what’s known as a “Money Sink”. Without it, everyone gets richer without getting poorer and eventually the prices of everything inflate so much that new players can’t afford anything.

It’s basically a balance to keep things affordable for everyone.
