    Process Credit Fees Raised. Again.

    I believe the main rub is that it was a full doubling of that tax (I know, they call it commission) - rather than slowly ramping it up over time, for example: 1% each year over the last five years.

    My first thought in fact was ‘well they have not raised it at all for years so this is not surprising’. I’m not saying that I like the increase, who does? But I understand it, my city has a 10% tax rate. We buy and sell in my hobby RL and there is always someone who gripes about the taxes, the VAT, the shipping, the PayPal fees...I’ve had better luck just bundling them in with the price and just not mentioning it at all...’the negotiated price is the final price’ policy. We also just registered our recently purchased car and paid the taxes on it, oof...it would have been better to just take that hit as a higher total cost when we bought it. 

    in SL, we have commercially zoned land in a great community and I’ll use it, only putting enough on the MP for a presence, advertising ‘limited stock on the MP’...and discounting inworld sales by the L$ percentage of the MP commission fees (gacha resale excepted). I’m also looking forward to doing another project I wouldn’t have a chance to do RL without considerable expense...developing a funky steampunk cooperative venture. We did take over and run one sort of co-op in SL at one point, and it was interesting and fun. This time we will play architect, design, commission/build it ourselves and hopefully re-create a gathering of interesting creators under 1 roof, subletting modularly by the L$/LI to cover tier...and have another go. 
     

    Gacha are the exception... I’m kind of surprised no one has mentioned the hit that pull-price Gacha resellers will take, so Gacha fans might be wiser to buy/sell/trade inworld. Time to tour the Gacha resell places, see how they are doing, and continue setting mine up!

    Do you think the new Cats movie will influence how Furries look in SL?

    Hope for nope. I really like the songs, the older movie and I’ve seen an amateur black box production live...all really fine. In SL, I was a neko for a while, posed as Rum Tum Tugger for a photo exhibition someone did, I still enjoy wearing some anthro and animal avatars and I like seeing some of the creativity in the furry avatars...but y’all, those new movie CATS are creepy...now and forever.

    If it affects your life in a negative way,it's a problem..

    I’m in no way a professional but this feels correct to me. I also believe there is usually reason behind why people ask these kinds of questions. Are you doing any substitution behaviors in your lifestyle concerning gambling, for instance instead of doing other more meaningful things? But then I’m not a gambler (aside from SL Gacha) and IRL would be dashing about seeing the sights and shows in Vegas. I tried playing some of the games on one trip to Laughlin with friends for a long weekend. The personality changes they exhibited were really weird. 
    The machines hold no appeal, I’d much rather play pinball.  I was very bored, even at the blackjack tables where people were playing together with a human dealer...so I slept late, went on a river tour by myself and stayed up late dancing in the club.
