is it normal to have vending tax? and how to remove it?

 

I never knew this, is this part of official mechanics?

[milk 8]

in /conf/battle/items.conf
 

// Tax to apply to all vending transactions (eg: 10000 = 100%, 50 = 0.50%)// When a tax is applied, the item's full price is charged to the buyer, but// the vender will not get the whole price paid (they get 100% - this tax).vending_tax: 200

Is this an official behavior? Edited November 13, 2014 by Zirius

Yes 2% vending tax is official behavior. Gravity added this around episode 10 to battle inflation (same reason why they added Rachel Donation, Socket Enchanter and Comodo Gambling). Ragnarok Online easily suffers inflation (= more money "created" by NPCs than money used), the Vending Tax helps to stabilize the economy.
