#15722, "Bank fee's"


          

What is the point of this? Utter #### if you ask me.


withdraw 18000
You are given 16 gold coins, 41 silver coins, 4 copper coins.

You were charged a 1176cp withdrawal fee.

I mean really. To loose that much at level 15... I just don't see the point. If we are going to be charged fee's, we should atleast get some interest while it's sitting in there.

This is pretty much how the medicci's started it all.
You pay us to hold your money, we give you a letter.
You take the letter with you to any place run by us
and you can exchange it for local coin minus our fee.
The fee is for the fact that you aren't walking
around with pounds of gold for robbers to take.
There weren't alot of literate highwaymen/bandits
back in the early days of it, so it turned out to
work really well.

They charged me £64 per quarter (minimum) and paid no interest.

Once upon a time it was worth it because your Coutt's card got you things that you otherwise couldn't get (think similar to being a celebrity and wanting a table in a full restaurant when you turn up). Now they've messed up repeatedly and are just not worth it.

The coin in the bank is the only way to gaurantee you will have anything left after you die, the roughly 6.5% fee is not that much for such security which is of course what you are paying for. Don't look at it as a regular banking system like you use today but more like you are paying someone to safeguard your coins and nothing more. As for interest, I have never once seen that used in a mud where it was a good thing for the commerce system.
