What the HELL???? 2% tax charges???? *Is outraged*

Ok, here's the worst part: Many people know that I'm questing a steel-plated ninja band (probably because they have heard me complain about how expensive it is). Before the new marketplace, it was about 650,000 gold. NOW, before the new marketplace has even come out, it costs 720,000 gold. I figure...about a month or two of extra questing. When I've been questing since March, and currently have only 121,855 gold. (Yeah, I know I earn slow) Personally, I'm amazed I've been able to keep going with my pathetic little dream for six months. Now I'm just pissed that it's not gonna be ending anytime soon.

Other worst part: Still on the subject of my quest, I have been earning gold by buying and selling on the marketplace. I'm a bargain hunter, so I buy items that people underprice by about 1k or so, then sell it back at normal price. BUT, with the new 2% tax charge, I'll maybe be making about half of what I used to in each sale. Example:

Say I buy an angelbow at 24,000 gold. The current sell price is 25,000 gold. So I sell it back for 25,000 gold. Problem is, 2% of the sale price is taken out of the sale, and 2% of 25,000 is 500. So, the gold I end up with is 24,500. Only 500 gold more than what I bought it for.

See what I mean? At this rate, I'm probably not going to get a steel-plated ninja band for another...oh...9 months at best? *Sigh*

Donations anyone???? Please???? *Puppy eyes* (Gah! I can't beleive I'm begging! I NEVER beg!)

Oh, and completely unrelated to the marketplace but completely related to the whole What-the-hell-are-you-doing-Gaia?????? thing, WHAT'S WITH THE NEW ROOM NAMES???? NOW I CAN'T TELL ANY OF THE ROOMS APART!!!!! I want my chats, t or d's, and rp's NOW!
