You also have to consider, that in McJobs, we have DISABLED the official Taxes job (Charged for doing some farming, building, etc), and we have removed the bulldozer job (Charged for breaking blocks, and items)
On top of that, the only cash dump we had, was enchanting. It was perfect. Now that DiabloDrops is here, people aren't using enchanting, if so, VERY little. Since it's very rare that books actually apply to good DiabloDrop items (Hoping to get a fix, that would be amazing).
So, as you see, we have very little cash dumps. In a realistic economy, which is what we strive for, we must have something to filter out the influx of cash that is being made. The % Brackets won't be high, at all, and it will be a weekly thing, just a small amount to get dumped out. We may not even have it put on brackets, and just make a flat % across the board, to see how that works. Again, it is all up for discussion. Note, if you have money, and is fairly wealthy, please don't be bias. I myself have almost 300k, and I know it will effect me, and have no problem with it, so take it with a grain of salt.
Also, Kanos and Madman out-voted me in a subject. Soon, we are implementing the ability to KEEP ALL of your job levels, once you hit lvl 50. Since it is hard to hit that level, and don't feel you should lose it for your hard work, you will be able to (In the future) switch out of a job, and switch back to it, and still keep those levels you worked hard for. Me personally, I don't like this, but in a group of three admins, it makes decision making very clear
So, with all of that being said, I feel as if we need another cash dump, since we have stripped away other dumps, and enchanting is a lot less useful, which was our primary dump.
Another bonus to the taxes, is it will encourage people to spend their money, to gamble, buy titles, houses, etc.
If you guys have any other ideas for cash dumps, PLEASE let us know. We strive every day to make it a balanced, fun, and fair server, and importantly to me, maintaining the value of the shilling.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, would love ANY input!
"The time has come. We have all waited for this very moment, the time to defend our homes, our loved ones, and our land. The Dragon Approaches. He seeks out one thing, and one thing only. The destruction of Moam. We shall stand, and fight."
Mission: Slay The Dragon, And ALL Who oppose us.
Upon completion of the mission, all players who attend the event will receive:
- 10,000 Shillings
- "Dragonslayer" Title
Any player that survives, will receive an additional 10,000 shillings (Making a total of 20,000)
Rules (Will Result In Disqualification Of Any Of The Above):

Have Fun!
When You Are Ready, Please Announce "Ready" In Chat, Be Prepared To Be TP'd To The Warzone.
If you have any questions, please "/mail send" to me, Kanos, or Madman. See You!
PS: This will NOT be an easy, average difficulty event. It will require skill, planning, and coordination. I HIGHLY advise you bring any potions you may have, and the strongest gear you can bring. The Dragon thirsts for blood.
The dragon slayer event was awesome. we need more player to join next time. maybe we can even have two parties instead of just one.
