How has the new meso cap affected the economy?

Are trades over 2.1 easy now? And can be sold in shop?
No more private chatting and negotiating deals?
No more stupid collateral?
How has this new cap influenced the economy ? Better or worse?

You're telling me the mesos from taxes haven't been used to pay for Monster Park, The Kerning Subway, or Recovery Efforts in NLC?

MY WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN D:

[quote=Swagtasticmofo]how about we just don't pay tax, not like nexon needs our mesos.
also iunno about the economy, but certainly saves me the hassle of having multiple accounts just to hold mesos.[/quote]

@Green4EVER: I actually don't get that. They say you lose 3%, but it seems I lose way more. I sold a DABR for 185m and lost around 10m in taxes. That's like double of what they said I'd lose. I just sold something for 27m and i lost close to 1.5m, which is more than the 2.5% that they said.

Tax actually won't be that bad.
For trades over 100m it only takes 3%. 3% of 10b is 300m. I'm sure if you're getting 10b for an item you won't really mind losing 300m too much.

it might decrease the value of items used for collateral (nebs) because there will be a decrease in demand for these items.

[quote=askmynames]I think this would be better.. no more scam collats. Like "famous" sellers in fm1-6 scammed someone I know.. He was buying an item from the seller and the seller asked him to buy 1b worth of CHAOS SCROLLS in his shop, and he did. SADLY, the seller said, "Thanks for buying the Chaos scrolls!". And didn't sell him the item he wanted to buy.. so he was stuck with the chaos scrolls trying to sell em all..[/quote]

Chaos scrolls are pretty easy profit makers...

I merched 300 of them recently for beaucoup bucks.

its going to make trades easier however, since before some items had no said price and were simply being offered on, they'll still be in trade windows as max mesos in hopes some ppl will offer nx

Yeah... this would be my primary concern. Imagine losing 1b every time you sell a godly </3

How do we know, it's not in the game yet.
Obviously it's going to be for the better, how is this going to make things worse in the first place?
