Alright, what's going on?
After being the buyer and seller I am, I came across a very disappointing feature. Shop SELL signs charge a tax, and not a small tax, but quite large. When I saw this, I was quite confused.

If you can do basic math, you realize that the tax is 30%. 30% less than what is shown on the sign. And that wasn't just a random bug, it happens everywhere. Everywhere where there is a place to sell, you get taxed an insane amount.

Thinking about this, I do not understand why there even IS a tax. If you want to encourage buying and selling to create a healthy economy, that is one thing. But this does quite the opposite. It forces people to not sell things, and keep for themselves. When you see a sign that tells you that they buy 8 logs for 70 noobz, do you expect to only get 49? I certainly do not.
If someone can explain this to me, that would be great.
More info from the buyer's point of view.

As you can see, it charged me 80 noobz, but only gave him 56. Why? If you want to force player to player trading, at least TELL people that they are getting ripped off when they sell things.
