Take note that products are being purchased, its a two way transaction where I pay an item, i get another item. Unlike a tax, which is one way where I pay for something, and I do not get anything back.

    This is the idea Ive been trying to get at since the start. I mean, I'm fine if people view my ideas differently (everyone can express themselves), but what prompted me to intervene or clarify is when players misinterpret my idea or when they misconstrue them (such as insisting that its a tax).

    I don't perceive a permit as a 'tangible good' - at least in the same light as ammo or shovels. This permit is purely a disguise or middleman for a tax. What exactly is the difference between paying the graal era system 50 shells to be levied upon shooting as opposed to paying someone 50 shells for a permit to be levied upon shooting. At the end of the day 50 shells is being taken from you into order for you to continue shooting.

    I suppose I see the difference between ammo and a permit in their necessity. Buying ammo for a gun is the gun's 'essential nature'; to shoot a gun it is a necessary criterion to obtain, thus buy, and use bullets- hence nothing is being imposed/ added upon. I see this in the same light as buying a gun for pking or buying an umbrella from someone for specifically and only their requested price.

    Purchasing a permit is being imposed upon the activity of shooting. In the current state of graal, one does not need pay an additional fee to shoot more- and again in your proposal, prior to shooting the permissible amount of shots one does not need to pay for anything. But once that permissible amount is surpassed, a cost is being imposed onto the graal player base, effectively taxing anyone who wishes to shoot, for example, 50000 shots. You cannot deny the fact that a cost is being imposed onto the activity of shooting onto the community in accordance to your proposal (to which they would not have need to pay in the current state of graal), and this added cost is what players are interpreting as tax.

    I don't understand this urge of yours to chase different applicable way for the graal era player base to cough up what they own. What is your all new, innovative negative punishment - your upcoming thread is going to pertain?
