Trade tax between clan members, why is it still a thing?

[tastic]

Trading with the general sub species that is the trade channel, ok it should cost something.  But why is it that clan members have to have tax on trades?  To make it not abusive, set a minimum member length before its a valid removal, say 3 days as you like the number 3

Or your clan warlord could just set it at 0%. The trade tax is set by your Clan leaders, not by DE.

I have mine at 1%, due to lack of credit contributions to research. that was the deal that was made with the underlings. They contribute, we drop the tax.

There is trade tax from the game on top of the clan tax for using the terminal, my own clan has it at 0 and basic mods etc cost 2k per item

clan tax is down to your own clan. 

If you mean trade fees in general, its to keep the game balanced, so new players can't be just given every rare mod etc. they have to earn the treasure at very least.

Gotta keep those credit sinks in. It's just how the game is set up.
