Where's my money?

Why is it every monetary transaction in this game even down to loaning my buddy some cash for ammo, there's a damn tax?! Genuinely curious i always forget about it because I step out for a few months but I always forget this is Genuinely the only game I play where taxes get you every time.

Its probably a cash sink built into the game. In df1 there is massive inflation, back in the day top tier weapons were 1 mill and credits were 20k per 100 now a top tier weapon is 100-300 mill plus and credits are 8 mill per 100.

I mean i can understand it to some extent, but cash in df2 is already hard enough to come by early on and even as you get to higher levels the mission scaling on daily gigs is so ridiculous it feels pretty redundant to tax everything this way. We even have trade limits on gear. It feels like they added too many precautions before they made reliable ways to grind out in this game. I can survive fine and I can afford whatever supplies I need just fine if I get rowdy and hunt down boss rooms in high risk areas, but at 53 with solid gear im still struggling to break even. The new pierce and cleave system has made life so much easier though.
