he takes fg away from users, so it takes it out of the system making fg worth more essentially
Given that less than a percent of registered users play ladder slasher the overall effect would be minimal.
The value of fg is determined by the user that is spending it.
As for removal of gold; orbs, searches, LS listing fees, LS item sale fees, guilds and their ever expanding list of costly features, post modifications, friend slots, and youtube slots constitute enough mechanisms in place to hold the value of forum gold.
Most users do not have tens of thousands of forum gold. Taxing them is unfair and unnecessary.
Remember the only way to obtain forum gold is to trade something of value. Taxes are supposed to serve a purpose.
