The idea of increasing taxes based on LE is a terrible take. Crafter taxes were a terrible idea. Shopkeeper taxes were even worse because 'tax' implies that something is maintained. Nothing is maintained by country factions. One day it was just decided 'Everything is now 10% more expensive because reasons'. There are no roads, no public services, nothing to imply growth.
In SL2, it's inflation. Not taxes. Suffice to say I think if I purchase the convenience of having a mobile crafting platform, I should also purchase the convenience of not spending massive amounts of money on production. Simple as. If you think that's a pay to win mechanic, well. I hate to bring it to you but Asagos to reset your stats and rebuild is the very definition. Not 'Hey I contributed $5 to server upkeep costs to not have fish cost me 20 murai to process per piece'.
