First like to say, really support the idea of tax on the GE. Have been involved in quite a few discussions on the RSOF about. But one thing that was pointed out to me quite early on is, introducing this tax probably wouldn't stop trade of a lot more commonly traded items. But smaller items, that aren't traded as much, may be seriously affected, to the point where maybe it is just impossible to buy. On the other hand, these items becoming impossible to buy on the GE, might encourage people to buy more from shops, removing GP from the game. Okay, I know this isn't exactly related because it isn't a money sink. But I think, as well as trying to create money sinks, why not try and remove or diminish the effects of the things that bring in money to the game. For instance, reducing the amount of money earned from PVP Statuettes, as these are what I think are bringing in most of the cash at the moment. Coupling more money sinks with reduced input could seriously combat the problem.
