Just looking for a better like/comment ratio tbh.

There has been lots of concern/talk about what is going to happen once towny wars are enabled in the extreme towny world. Many rumors including pvp will be on in all towns, and I dont know if that would be the greatest for a majority of the towns in extreme.

My suggestion is that we allow players to have no pvp in their towns but they are taxed at a 4x rate in comparison to a town that has pvp on in the town. And in order to prevent pvp toggling to avoid taxes, if you could possible add a cooldown on the ability to turn it on and off.

This would also add another skull (money) sink into the extreme world which is will give you guys more room to add more ways to add skulls into the eco.

 

I agree we need more money sinks in the eco, but I think this greatly negatively hurts smaller towns while massive towns (Legion) could just keep pvp off in their town and farm skulls off the many players in their town.

 

It actually would encourage smaller towns due to smaller towns having a lower tax rate!

And it would also force larger towns such as legion to have to pay large fees for having so many plots to house their many members. This will force them to tax their citizens which will then cause citizens to leave their town due to taxes that they wouldent need to pay if they had their own smaller town, and thus adding more towns into the world which will add more fun and drama into the gameplay experience!

 

I hear what your saying, but have you been around legion? It's not like they have a massive amounts of plots claimed.

 

I think right now a 4x tax rate would be a hefty toll on a town like legion , regardless of how big they are because they currently pay almost 5k skulls a day. 20k skulls a day just to keep pvp off isn’t too sustainable right now and I think that’d be a pretty good consequence for keeping pvp off. If we wanted to go even further, it could be 4x tax + another 1% tax for every member in the town. So if a town has 5000 in upkeep and 85 players, it would be taxed 24,250 skulls a day. To compare, a town with 2500 in upkeep per day with 60 members would pay 11,500 per day

 

Yeah I like that a lot more, having the tax increase for each player in the town. Seems fair.

 

I see what you’re saying. However, the climate/towny war aspect of extreme will require residential towns to not only be just big and populated but also able to defend itself from other towns. I feel like war shouldn’t be 1000% consensual and that there should be rules in place that act to back a town into a corner until it has to join a war if it is being challenged, unless it can very effectively sustain itself financially. Increased taxes on towns that don’t want to participate is a way to do this.

 

I would argue that burden of tax would actually fall on the owners as residents and new players wouldn’t want to pay crazy amounts of tax especially when they don’t have perms in the town, eventually leading them to leave the town. Also the new world is supposed to be extreme and pvp comes along with that, so there should be harsh consequences of having a no pvp arena (if it should be allowed at all). If you don’t want pvp on or want your builds potentially raided just play normal towns or creative. There is no reason to basically have 2 identical towny worlds

 

I'm just gonna give this a hard no

 

Why?

 

Giving 70 man towns that obviously alt abuse the ability to dodge towny war and circumvent the entire point of the gamemode as they add even more dungeons that pay more skulls isn't the best idea

 

It’s the town owners responsibility to put rules in place that handle inactivity

that type of town would have to pay 20k + skulls a day. And if only 20% of those people are active, that’s like 15 people that would all have to work together to put up that amount every day. That type of cost per day is difficult to sustain, and who knows, maybe it’ll have to increase. But I think the idea is pretty good tho and alt abusing isn’t the main problem with it

 

No, because last time I checked they had enough to last in their bank for a while, skulls are not useful for anything other than town upkeep, there are new dungeons that give lots of skulls, and at least half the town are alt accounts that got used to farm skulls when extreme first came out. no way Legion has 70 unique members, probably more like 30-40. If everyone in that town, alts included, ran all the dungeons once they'd 100% have enough to sit on their ass and evade towny war for a year at least lol

 

There aren’t that many new players joining where you can just “recruit more”. Plus if people leave because y’all raise taxes, then ur gonna have to keep raising the taxes and the burden will eventually fall on the owners. The whole point of this suggestion is to offer a large demotivating factor to disable pvp and towny war and I feel it would do that as I doubt most towns would want to pay so much in upkeep unless ur a small shop town.

 

There isn’t any real math in this post. And skulls arnt only used for town upkeep. So your post is 100% inaccurate.
