It's way too arbitrary to count on legend extensions, and it also brings the issue of some people utilizing low level characters to abuse this.

In the end I don't think this is a case where we can cope with, it's either lowered taxes and crafting taxes for everyone, or the removal of it. :pensive:

There's nothing at all arbitrary about it. If you are a brand new player, then you have not legend extended and will thus have a lower tax rate. If you're experienced enough to legend extend, then you understand the perks and are willing to pay a bit more. There's really no way to "abuse" this because you're mainly looking at taxes on shopkeeper stalls, houses (ideally) and goods purchased from shops. What are you going to do, rent a house using a non-LE'd alt and say it belongs to your main? That's a major inconvenience to save just a few hundred murai.
