Well yes, but we didn't use to pay taxes on auction...

I agree it levels the field but the levelling always seems to be to the worst common denominator. Why have taxes on these things at all? Ofc the answer is obvious - there is no need for malls or shops at all unless you do some artificial balancing with taxes etc.

The point is MA want people to invest in these things and it doesn't make sense without a bit of nerfing on the more cheap and convenient ways of shopping. It may be a good thing for the future of EU but as someone who is not seeking to invest or play EU as a business the trend is annoying. If more sales move to the street/pvp trades as a result and MA are forced to tax private trades to level the field and keep the dream alive they will be skating on thin ice IMHO.
