You have to remember that most people don't read patch notes. From their perspective the tax went from 10% pre-Rubicon to 12% now, and the name attached to this new, higher tax office is yours. They have no clue that the tax rate on NPC offices changed to 17% or that they can train a new skill to get their tax rate below pre-Rubicon levels at your POCO.

As funny as it would be to attribute this to hard core PvEism, it's most like just ordinary MMO-patch-ignorantism.

Running an Alt-Corp with 8 Chars doing only PI - never ever earned so much ISK in a week since the deployment of Rubicon.

Overtaxed COCOs (Corp owned Customs Offices) are no problem at all, go for a l(a)unch .

This, so much this. RvB decided to do a POCO grab to supplement our meagre income (we don't own moons, we don't rent space etc etc). We set the tax rate to neutrals to a very reasonable rate. And yet, people flipped out.

if you feel like renting space to make money in, there's spots available

Its weird I agree, I mean we often leveraged a buyout of someones POCOs in lowsec with a low tax offer or flat out told them 'its easier to offer you some isk than shoot these if we dont have to'. I guess low sec is just more chilled out that way.

I don't envy you. Clearing out all highsec will take weeks to perform and that's with you doing nothing but shooting customs offices when you log in.

Good luck with the project. Smile

For most players.

Carebears love that kind of crap. If it's boring, they gobble it up.

Hmmm maybe instead of renting ratting space we should rent slots in siegefleets.


Can you fly a Talos and fit tech 2 blaster. Do you have hours of free time to spend staring at your computer screen?

Then sign on the bottom line for structure grinding fun.

Er, I don't know if you know, but a siegefleet uses torp bombers.

Just an update on the pocogeddon/pococide/pocalypse:

Caldari highsec is done. Amarr highsec is nearly done. Amarr has a HUGE number of systems. It's embarassingly large the number of systems they have. There are a lot more interbus remaining in Amarr space than there were in Caldari space due to the lower demand. But the demand is still here. On a daily basis we're encountering other interbus grinding fleets.

Every system that we clear is completely POCO'd by player organizations within a few hours - even if the system is low traffic and worthless. Highsec islands that are separated by having to cross lowsec are not fully poco'd yet, and are just being cherry picked for valuable planets. At the current rate I would expect people to fill them in shortly.

We do know that there are shadow organizations that are planting poco's across many diverse corporations to disguise their gradual monopolization of empire space. We have been in direct contact with a few of them. We estimate the largest organization as controlling around 1000 highsec pocos spread between dozens of entities. To put that in perspective, there are only around 7000 planets in highsec. By the end of the campaign they'll probably control 1500-2000, and gradually wage war to take them from the rest of you. Sleep tight.

I see you've haven't been slacking. Amarr space should be cleared entirely very soon.
