So they can make the poor people leave, keep the whales so they can slowly turn this game into a NFT project and implement blockchain technology. /sarcasm
They should of done this when the game was being developed if they want this to begin with, not super late in development like this, i guess they wanted to be like FFXI and FFXIV on teleport tax, but put it QT instead... Sarcasm: and not add in toll taxes for docking your ships on the stations, refueling starfighter cost, companion weekly cost, the random event that a thief stoled some of your credits... what else am i missing...? /sarcasm
