MTS tax - good or bad thing?

my sales in MTS is killed totally, I used to earn around 2~5k A-cash on MSEA daily.

Well I used to make about $50 a month and then I would use it to buy equips in mts or stuff in the cash shop.

Now I make like $10 a month and I use it only on the cash shop.

I no longer buy expensive items in mts because I don't care to spend real $$$ on a game item.

Also I used to buy quest items in mts here and there but now I never do. spending $0.20 and $0.60 is a huge difference.

Another difference is I can't get people to buy / sell scrolls in bulk. People want to buy scrolls one at a time. and they only have one scroll so they want to sell one scroll not 5. This makes it very difficult to buy and sell and turn a profit as most scrolls sell for too little to profit off the tax. And I can't buy the scroll for cheep and sell it for more because of the 500nx + 10% difference is huge for a 2000 nx item.

Now the way to make $$$ with mts is with scrolled equips. But it takes so long to find good ones and get prices down for all the various equips avalible that it is just too time consuming for me.

I feel sure nexon was making about $20 a month from tax from me in the past (buy item in mts and pay tax, sell item in mts for more and buyer pays more tax - idk why this isn't win for nexon). Now they make like $2 since I can't buy & sell and get the turn around.

What exactly did increasing the tax do? I mean really? It just made everyone basically stop using MTS for anything besides storage and overpriced items.
