Title: [+++][A] Add extra costs to warp to houses when somebody owns more than 9 houses
Post by: Brian on 12 01, 2023, 05:08:49 pm
After "House Slots" were introduced, some extremely rich players could afford to buy many houses around map, incredibly reducing the possibilities for other players to buy houses and having like 20-30 new spawns around cities. This high amount of spawns turned into an unfair advantage over time, limited to few individuals as well, especially after it was decided to add a limitation like this:

Quote
Saturday 22nd January 2022
- Can't buy house slots if already own 5. (Arran + Mayrou)

That didn't remove the extra houses these players bought, and we can't manually remove them because it'd be unfair and there would be the risk of losing money with bugs.

This topic is to add an extra cost of 10% multiplied by the houses owned (if more than 9) to the costs of teleporting to houses.

Why 9 houses? Any player can normally buy 4 houses (1 + 3 slots from DLx) and other 5 from house slots. If one has/had money to buy more than 9 houses, they can afford to pay exttra fees when warping to locations.


The lua formula would be

Code: Lua
  1. normalCost * (1 + (0.1 * (math.max((housesOwned - 9), 0))))

Absolutely agreed, fair trade for those who own huge amounts of houses just to use them as spawns.

Other players will have more chances to buy a house near AR/CE. I believe that after this update, the other players will start selling their houses faster.  :tick:

We need this, because when house slots was added, didn’t was added any limit first time. So, is one of the best suggestions to fix this, but add huge extra cash if they own more than 9 houses, to change something for real.

When slots system originated, some players purchased over 10 slots and bought valuable houses. Now, they gonna pay extra just to punish them because they have a lot of money?  :cros:

Fair enough for everyone, in my opinion people who got that number of houses won't face any issues with paying an extra fees. Certainly no objections against this suggestion.
Positive.
Title: Re: Add extra costs to warp to houses when somebody owns more than 9 houses
Post by: IDriver on 12 01, 2023, 11:06:48 pm
I upvoted already but I forget to add one ideea which can be great to fix this. Brian, or maybe add one tax per week for those with more houses than 9. One tax per week like 500k - 1m per house X how many houses they have they must to pay, and if you don’t want to pay you need to own only 9 houses or less. Or add like you said already in your suggestion, but put more than 50% because if will be only 10% they have alot of cash anyway and they can pay, there is not any problem and nobody will change this.

If they are able to afford buying 9+ houses, they'd stil be able to afford being charged higher every time they teleport there.

9 houses? it's 10.
A non DL player can purchase two - not just one.

 Who could have ever predicted that being able to purchase an unlimited amount of houses would turn into something unfair? WOW

absolutely positive.

'rich players' who already own multiple houses in the same area shouldn't argue on this. they're already fucking up the house prices, making it unfair for others to purchase houses in LS.

Increasing the teleportation coast by 10% won't solve the issue or have a big impact, if they already had the money to buy houses all over the game which may worth billions Then they won't mind paying an extra fee and yet nothing changed and they will keep their houses, so the whole point of this suggestion is yet not achieved, I believe there's more creative ideas to make those players sell some of their houses rather than this, not to mention it's not anyone fault that devolpers somehow decided to revert the changes and wants the houses owners to pay the price of it, it's more like punishing them.

As I said this is great suggestion but won’t fix too much this problem which appear after long time when house slots was added. We need something more drastic to fix this problem lime I said maybe one tax per house per week if you own more than 9 houses. One tax per week like 500k - 1m and this will fix for real the actual problem. If we make some maths 100 houses for example X 500k - 1m per week = alot of cash they need to pay, and some of them they will be somehow “forced” to work more to pay taxes or they will be “forced” to donate real cash or sell some of them. Think you on my ideea.

Big true. 10% is negligible for people that once afforded so many houses.

yes it's a very good idea, If you add this suggestion to the game, the injustice will be lifted a little bit.But I think more than 3 houses should not be bought,with all the houses on the map taken. Unacquired houses are sold for 400 or 500 million lmao As I said, my vote is  :tick: for this proposal, but at most 3 or 4 houses should be bought.

After reading the topic and comments, This is sounds fair enough for those people who can't buy houses anymore. I guest you should add extra percentage when you are warping in your house partner as well even though it was small cost.  :tick:

Seems like a minor change but taxing rich people seems fun.

Maybe we should do the warp costs related to house count and not just for whoever owns 9+ houses.

So even for 2 houses there should be a slight increase and then for 3 a slight increase but bigger than previous etc.
