As of right now, the top 10 players with their MMR publicly listed have well over 10 million HC in combined wealth from liquid HC and other assets. This is equivalent to thousands of new players who downloaded the game only to be turned off by the incredibly obvious income inequality that becomes apparent within a few matches. Additionally, a good portion of the top-10 global elite individually have significantly over 10 million XP between all their accounts—the total between them all is conservatively equal to the combined XP of approximately 100,000 of the poorest pilots in the game. Should some of us have over 30 or even 40 fully-equipped mechs with vast amounts of HC left over plus every class at max rank while others struggle to even outfit the one mech they're given for free with new items and internals, much less alternate weapons?



I propose a radical wealth redistribution program involving a 50% tax on all HC earned above 200,000 in combined assets and a 75% tax on all new XP over 1m. This will allow redistribution programs to be created that would serve the neediest players in Hawken and provide a better and more equal gameplay experience for all.
