Since the Banish Events now have max caps in place it seems that only the "rich" (the highest powered top few players) will get effected (taxed). It seems that the total coinage available in a banish event is still fixed and Baal/Cerb should NOT take surplus coin/credit to the grave but rather SHOULD NOW distributed ever more to lower powered players who are not capped out. But this is not what people are seeing - there are reports that all people (capped or not) are taking in 20% less income from Banish Events.

It is broken or what?

Reason would necessitate that the net effect of the patch should be wealth redistribution - MORE not LESS income should be promulgated to the lower powered uncapped out players from the extra residuals that are available from the high-powered players being capped out.

It sounds to me like we have incompetent Marxists ideologues doing code here. When you slay a beast you take ALL its possessions and don't bury it with any extraneous wealth - the bones are picked over.
Your idea is what I was thinking in my half awake state. But that is not the case. Before everyone got a share of 125m coins and 50m credits now everyone gets a share of 100m coins and 40m credits.
SO what they did is not wealth redistribution. What they did is make the pie smaller for everyone. SO everyone is effected equally by percentages.
