Well, its time to start pay daying before the tax update :P . In all seriousness though, I don't like the 1% fee because PokeMMO hobos like myself cannot pay every time its up. The tax is a minor thing, but the real reason why people use the Global Trade Link is for monetary gain not a tax system. Its like Nintendo wanting its cut from YouTubers that advertise their games. A lot of YouTubers hate the Creator's Program (unless your TheJwittz [who in my opinion is one of Nintendo's spokesmen for YouTube]). Having this tax system is like having the Nintendo Creator's Program in PokeMMO (45% profit cut from YouTubers). Some YouTubers flee from Nintendo games and film Playstation or Xbox games where they don't demand cuts or some flee to PokeMMO because PokeMMO allows monetization (now I personally don't profit from the game because I do this for voluntary reasons. The reason I do YouTube is to help PokeMMO's growth). This 1% tax idea is like the Nintendo's Creator Program, I think it will scare off people more than help people make a profit. The Global Trade Link could be hardly used and people are forced to go to channel 1 (because its implicit to people that channel one is the "Trade Hub"). Do you want a rare item like an everstone for your breeding troubles? I am sorry, you have to go to channel 1 for that. As you can tell, I am against the 1% tax system. I am all for the 5% tax rate and I would like to keep it 5% instead of going up or down.
