EVE General Discussion

So i'm in a null sec corp and at CTA's they set tax to 100% and I can understand why but whats really annoying is that when they forget to change it back from 100% they basically make the game useless to play eve since most income comes from the rats from belts bountys and same for hubs and such. This has happened a few times and been 100% anywhere from 12 to 24 hours after the CTA is over cause noone online can change tax rate.

There really should timer system in game so when CTA's are over the tax automatically drops back to the normal amount, maybe tied into the calendar or something.

Tell to your ******* CEO, we dont care.

Awox is the only solution. Even better if you can cyno an enemy fleet on top of an alliance titan.

there is one other option...

tell the entire alliance you have a neutral jf alt and willing to move **** back n forth ..

keep accepting contracts till they realise you aint gonna do em... ransom them back if in null/low sec. keep everything else in high sec.

then once you are soon to be booted alliance mail everyone saying why you ripped em off.

oh yes if you like this send me 10% of the profits.

And you are telling us ... why ?

why do you need a rule set/timer on something that has nothing to do with the CTA?

imagine if we asked CCP to add some kind of reward system for showing up to CTAs, tracking attendance and penalizing slackers by only allowing to get reimbursed for T1 crap loses, nothing bigger than a frigate... you think that would be a good idea? it would be terrible, the whole point of the sandbox is to give the tools to allow players to do what they want, not to force them into one gameplay. eve is not wow, content is not generated by the devs, its generated by players like your CEO.

you can try talking, but if your CEO is a despot, then you can revolt. or simply leave and take the dissidents with you. you can leave in good terns, or you can steal everything that's not bolted to the ground. that's how free you are.

the game gives you those freedoms the same way it gives the freedom to your CEO to run his corp the way he wants. there's no rule in game about allowing or disallowing coercing players to show up to the F1 fests. there's no rule about CTAs, at all!

CTAs are not part of the game, CTAs are the gameplay your CEO is offering you. you can find other corps with no CTAs, but then again, im willing to bet they don't do CTAs because they don't have anything worth defending.

you can discuss with your CEO different forms of incentivizing attendance if you don't like the tax thing. doing hobo CTAs on Talwars can add some fun in between the alliance CTAs. (im assuming you are renters) that way you can get people to stop thinking of fleeting up as a chore.

or asking around who needs help with a timer just to get kills and troll local, at any given time there's at least one WH corp that needs help with a timer, or would be timer. or you can let more people call for CTAs... im sure there's someone on the corp who has a grudge against some other dude and always wanted to get payback with an army.

or just do like the goons used to do, label the CTA something boring like "POCO Bash in lolsec" so the slackers will dodge it, then once everyone is fleeted up, go and kill everyone who didn't show up to the CTA. that usually does the trick.

that's a good point. if you love your corp as you should the extra isk should do show it.

Exactly. Most people are in 0.0 because they are passionate about structure grinding, not because they want to run boring anomalies.

Learn how to play the markets or go mining , corp taxes can't hit you there

Basically put, if you don't like the corp then leave.

There are other ways of making isk in game than ratting, PI, Mining, Exploration.

Voice your concerns to your corp don't whine on the forums, if it was an oversight then sh!t happens, somebody forgot to set the tax rate back, if it was an ebil plan to get more money on into the corp coffers for the ceo to steal then deal with it and leave.

100% tax is fine, I've got a couple of alts in their own corp and the tax is 100% so the majority of the isk that comes from any missions they run go to a central wallet instead of being split around various chars.

Nothing wrong with the mechanic, just the execution imo.
