Ah, yes.

3 people Vs. the rest of the registered participants... Tough choice, for sure :p If this was prison, the mall owners'd be the bitch.

I never considered that, though. Hmm. Does this mean no mod fap for teh VF?

Meh, it's still a stupid tax, and the premise behind it was still insulting, and there's still so many things you guys have to appologize for.

However, while I won't hold my breath, I hope this is a sign you people are getting a clue in the field of customer relations.

I would like to point out a positive to all this

Now that clothes need to have a certain level of % fixed to have a good look it makes clothes sellers have even footing and it alowes the tt+ to have a real use.

This also makes it so skilled tailors who craft items at a higher TT get a real benefit from their skills because they need to fix their clothes less before sale.

Also this makes having a global on tailoring an even better thing! before you get a full TT pant and you toss right in the TT because you cant sell it. Now your full TT clothes you lucky crated still have their tt+ value!

At the beginning there is a little pain to us all to fix up our stocks and collections but in the long run this makes things better for the tailor and colorer. And in a way for the customer too after all the clothes are gorgeous!

And Besides. I have had better sales in the last 3 days than in months! My clothes on display is so beautiful now I almost had tears that the things I make and color are so pretty now. i am so looking forward to the new things we get to do very soon with the wools and latex they were talking about! More customizable items? OH YES GIMME I WANT!!!

Shop taxes are on markup only, so this would have no direct effect. Indirectly it would probably increase sales, though.

Yay!!! Marco is back!! Now he can go to our defense against the evil MA overlords....
[/sarcasm]

Sorry Marco... I gotta call BullShit on this... You've done it for years... Coming in and telling the playerbase just enough to let them think you are going to bat for them... But in reality, you are simply the front man for the con game... I'll concede to you that there plenty of people who believe everything that comes from your keyboard is the gospel truth, but you've been saying the same things for so long that the veneer is wearing thin....

Any player who really thinks that Marco didn't know ALL of the changes that were going to be introduced and has to talk to the developers about them after the fact deserves to be the victim of the "Armor Upgrade" scam that has just been run on them.

Sooo... once again you play "Good Cop, Bad Cop" (take a lot and give back little) and the players think you are their hero... When really you are simply the bag man..

3 people who spent a bunch of money on the game. You know how that works, VF.

This compliments the economic balance MindArk strive to achieve in regards to armors...

Welcome back Marco and reps for trying to find the middle ground

But if this is a compromise, it should be a full one.

What about to lower Clothes Wear Tax also to 1 PEC per use ???

I think that would be more reasonable and most of the participants (though not very happy and with grinding teeth) would be able to accept this kind of deal.

Ah, yes, you are right, I forgot that. I retract that statement then.

Then lowering the tt would increase sales and things could even be sold at a higher markup and at the same time lower total cost. But I doubt they'd do it.
