I thought I was the only one thinking the tax was ridiculous in some towns. While there is no real rule that prevent such taxes to be set, there is something called ethics which appears to be lacking in some guilds.
I am not really affected directly by this tax change but I'm concerned about other players who might get bad experience in this game because of this. EE community is not that big and might get smaller after Coronavirus containment, I wish we can help each other instead of being selfish.
At the end, each player/guild is free to play however they want to, including being a d***.
