Player Features and Ideas Discussion

POCOs should be introduced to high sec, and subject to war decs. Allow players to set what ever price they want.

Form a small group of corps to dominate a system, if one of you gets war deced, all join in and fight on the side of the defender. Expand your POCO empire, crush all competition.

One size fits all solutions, from governments, or developers, are always wrong when it comes to pricing. Let the players handle it.

The only part of this argument I agree with is that isk shouldn't just turn to vapor. NPC corporations & the taxes they collect should have a more meaningful impact on the game, since we the players, decide where we're going to be spending our money.

It's time for capsulers to hold NPC corporations & Factions accountable for their spending. How much money is going to concord to help speed up their response times for hostile activity? How much is going into drug & contraband enforcement? How much is going into our pockets?

I can tell you the answer to the last one -- Not enough!

If they aren't going to reduce their taxation, then we deserve to know where these taxes are going!

To enrich the sandbox. If players want to fight over crap, let them. It's not as if people in the real world haven't been fighting over a worthless sliver of sand for thousands of years or anything.

How would you all like to see the the New Eden economy crash, Isk Sinks are around for a reason and its purely to stop the market over heating. Currently as it stands CCP is having to manage the economy through outside intervention, that is why we are seeing taxes in NPC corps. So no these taxes don't benefit the eve economy in a way the average player would appreciate. many players expect these taxes to benefit them inside the eve economy, what they don't understand is it is, but in a way which is different to what they expect.

Currency is taken out of eves economy through means,such as IE to PI taxes, broker fees, sov bills, buying blueprints etc. These targets a wide variation of people, so in effect everyone is contributing to the isk sink. NPC corp taxes are pretty much high secs equivalent to sovereignty costs in alliance space.(I dont want to get into the nitty and gritty here, its only an example). if you pulled the npc corp taxes then it would be unfair on the people in low/null sec. suddenly we would see a community out cry and ccp might respond to the backlash by pulling the sov costs and possibly other similar taxes as well. In reality this is not going to happen and people like Holeysheet1 are just going to have to accept this.

The point to my contribution here is that CCP feeds currency into the New Eden Market, but to keep the economy in a healthy status it is forced to keep the economy on a leash. So this is why we are not going to see any changes on this particular issue, you HoleySheet1 are simply asking for an uncontrolled market which will undoubtedly fall into a period of uncertainty where its quite possible for the market to crash.

Since your such a large player in the economics of the game maybe you should look into the economic reports that ccp releases. maybe you should pay attention to these before posting on the forums, but yeah your lazy when you need to be.

Buying stuff off of the market is NOT an isk sink. That isk is going to other players. an isk sink, like PI tax, is where isk is removed from circulation entirely. We need more isk sinks to combat inflation and to balance the isk generators like bounties.

Who am I kidding, you didn't listen to anyone else, so you won't listen to me.

tl;dr, build your own POCOs if you hate taxes that much.

Funny enough, Customs offices don't require much management, if you keep your prices low, (check the surrounding ones) you generally wont have much issues with the people that want to use them, Because of their upfront cost, its usually easier to leave them up or threaten the person that holds them if they don't lower taxes. it takes less time to talk to them in game then it does to respond to the forums.

Im not sure how lower poco taxes help noobs, but whatever.

you've said it yourself "you just need to kn ow how to make isk" Its not terribly difficult, it just involves learning something about one of the game mechanics. lowering the knowledge threshold doesn't help noobs at all. it causes them to stay noobs.

Im gonna quote you twice here,



these sentences follow one another so its hardly out of context, but if you cant take 5-10 minutes to deal with poco taxes, what exactly are you playing in this game?

also its the r-32 moon thats the real isk maker, technium is not a r-64.
How do the big guys get to be big guys? they work their way up from ditch diggers, the same as everybody else. It wasn't handed to them so much as they went and looked for it.

Mostly, by taking the 5-10 minutes to build relationships.

errr, ...

I can talk to them ingame, i dunno .....

I recommend visiting low sec and getting your pi there. You may also look for PC owned PI it may be more valuable for you .

shudup nub...u losers are waaaay innefective...remember the blue ice thing?..i thought u noobs were doing ur thing in jita on the 22nd...shows how much most of us care
