Before I begin, I'm not entirely sure if I've taken this to the right place, so feel free to correct me and move this thread.
With the recent update to the server came the taxation function for Factions. I'm a little confused as to the purpose and intended end-game for the addition of this feature. My main question is whether or not the tax is mandatory.
It raises the particular concern for me that for some factions, particularly roleplay oriented and smaller factions, that do not produce any kind of sustainable income to meet the requirements of the tax, it may lead to an overall decline in faction activity. It is within my honest opinion that this may prove detrimental to the over all health of factions, and add unnecessary strain to an economy that I view as being unstable.
Hopefully you could understand and dispel my concerns. I do think that this feature is an excellent move to keep the economy flowing, were there a source of reliable income to sustain it to begin with, which does lead me to my overarching point, that the economy needs to be fixed to provide sustainable income before a feature like this is enabled, and expected to work effectively. But that's a discussion for another time.

~~==EDIT==~~
In hindsight to my original point, the overall taxation amount is fair towards smaller factions, but it still raises the issue of sustainable income.
