Wow Gold Should your GM be able to tax you?

Moreover, the taxation Wow Gold idea acts as an incentive for people not to guild their alts, thus avoiding taxation entirely on toons that are usually the real means of support for a raiding main (someone remind me to go reserve a hunter named Swissbank). As an herbalist/alchemist, I farm a lot for friends and have been known to chuck the guild bank a few hundred gold from time to time. Maybe I’d save time and money wow gold under a system that required me to hand over 2-3% of my income, but still. Being taxed removes an element of individual responsibility, and it certainly takes away the nice feeling you have for voluntarily helping others.

This idea’s been floated before, but a few wow gold people on the forums have responded pretty enthusiastically to the notion of introducing a “guild income tax.” Others…not so much so. Basically, there was a proposal made in the Beta forums that Blizzard give GM’s/officers the ability to levy a percentage-based tax on members’ earnings.

I have to admit that I’m not too keen on the idea of a broad-based “income tax” on players, if only because the game’s current mechanics make it all but certain that the main beneficiaries will be people who wow gold either can’t (due to class/spec) or won’t put much gold into the guild coffers.

Jeff “Tigole” Kaplan responded, saying that it “was an interesting idea” and they’re considering options for improving guild administration, but there was no way they could program a change like this in time for Wrath. Bear in wow gold mind that the original tax being suggested would apply to your toon both inside and out of raids (although no one was seriously suggesting that the tax should apply to non-raiding members of the guild).

If nothing else the idea’s given rise to a few nice jokes (Cacora of Hellscream: “Do I get money back at the end of the year if I claim multiple alts as dependents?”), but the final word may well belong to Grig from Whisperwind: “So, Blizzard wow gold is considering taking one of the most universally loathed concepts from real life and adding it to a game. Why, they’d be silly not to do it.”
