OP: As others have mentioned, you have a corp problem, not a game problem. The game doesn't know when your CTA is over (or even that you have a CTA) so there's no way for it to change the tax rate. Your CEO, on the other hand, do, so ask him to institute the timer you're looking for.

In his case he means free ships paid for by GW's corp tax, POCOs, etc.

I think the bigger problem is realizing you show up to CTA's to protect the isk making ability of those who don't care whether you make a dime or not.

The problem with 0.0 alliances and corps is the concentration of wealth generation is at the top and it is those scratching by that are least likely to benefit. So unless you love the blob fight, there is really no reason for you to CTA or be in an alliance like that.

Just move your character into a ratting ship in Venal or Curse or Delve, make your own isk and call it a day. Stop feeding the bureaucracy. Twisted

They didn't forget to change it. And FYI I'd find a new corp.

Why are morons always coming here to ask CCP to to work on stupid things? Tell your CEO to shape up and find another corp...

There should be alternatives to taxing, like a monthly sub (enforceable via UI). Then people could decide how to earn it themselves. Otherwise, your CEO is a massive ****. Of course he didn't change it. CEO's get rich by taxing your arse.

If you could see the accounts, you'd see how much he was creaming off into his own personal account. Lol

You're all missing the point. Any corp/alliance that enforces 100% tax in that way are awful, and the solution is to never join them / leave ASAP stealing everything you can.

This is in fact how it's done by almost everyone now.

PS: The reason many null alliances set tax to 100% is to keep out people who just join for null pve. Not sure if that's your CEO's intention, but why not just ask him?

I think the problem is that corps struggle with how to raise money for their corp cost with the current tax system. If you are a nullsec corp than ratting and POCOS taxes are probably enough, but if your only a low-sec or high-sec corp than ratting and PI are pitiful sources of income and they need other ways to make isk without turning their corp into a totalitarian oppression.

They should probably allow more tax flexibility in terms of what corps, both player and NPC, taxes apply to. Taxes that apply to market transactions, refining, and reprocessing would probably be pretty useful and keep CEOs and Directors from having to mandate CTAs. NPC corps should tax market transactions, refining, and reprocessing too to incentivize from hiding under the protection of NPC corps... I'm looking at you NPC ice miners...

Maybe they should try ganking freighters and take money from people they don't care about instead of stealing it from their own members.

Oh god.

100% corp tax? Sounds like your CEO is just milking his players for ISK.

You should blame yourself. Any corp that charges 100% tax does so because they just want to rob their members and/or they can't figure out how real corps make money. Your corp sounds lame, but you joined them so it's your fault. Join EvE uni and learn stuff... then try the whole "corp" thing again.

Goons taking the moral high ground on your corp here. A good indication your corp is in serious trouble.
