I've been playing Maple Story for a long time now, and the one question I've never asked is... Why do they tax you in money you trade? I mean, you'd think you would just get the money, but instead you get a lowered amount then what was traded. I can't think of any logical reason for this

Because if the amount of money in circulation increased (and never decreased or left the system) then the supply of money will go up, and the VALUE of the money would plummet resulting in inflation.

It's to compensate for the mesos dropped from monsters that are looted every day.

[/quote] This. The money in circulation would stay the same. Then you have to factor in Meso Bags, Item Drops, NPC'd items, etc. Everything would skyrocket :O

For example, in runescape ppl lose their money when they die. Would u like to lose ur mesos when u die? Every game needs a way to drain currency and avoid inflation
