Tax Family Wealth
« Topic Start: October 04, 2013, 03:56:53 PM »
Title:
Tax Family Wealth

Summary:
As outlined in this FR, the family wealth top list has become useless because everyone has the max amount.

To fix that, "tax" excessive family wealth so only those who can really afford it by regular contributions stay in the top list.


Details:
There needs to be a "tax free" amount or players might stop bothering with family wealth at all. And taxes would need to increase the more you have.

Proposal:
< 10,000 = no tax
beyond 10,000: Tax 1% per 1k per month.
Code: [Select]
$tax = max(0,floor( ($FamilyWealth-10000)/100));


Benefits:
  • money drain for a game that has way too much gold in it
  • creates competition among the wealthy
  • family wealth means something again
  • inactive or lethargic families will drop off the top list

Possible Downsides/Exploits:
the rich will hate it, like they always hate taxation
some people might complain that once they got it, the game shouldn't take it away.
