If anything, it's not EMS that needs a better tax table, but rather GMS that needs a better meso sink (perhaps guild skills?)
Being someone who has acquired "wealth" for the first time in over 6 months, that seems to be an over-exaggeration of my over-exaggeration. 200m is not "EXTREMELY low" but it's not extremely high either. Basically anything over 200m gets taxed a 30m meso BASE RATE, so if you're selling something for 200m you're really selling it for 170m. Seeing as there are literally hundreds of 200m++++ transactions DAILY (guestimating, i'm not an EMSer, but that's not an unreasonable guess by EMS standards imo), this meso sink is going to take a massive toll on the EMS market. So big in fact that the sink would probably do it's job within a week's time, but that's probably an over-exaggeration too.
