Heh, nope. You don't seem to understand the benefits of keeping down an industry you are invested in.

Suppose, for example, that I owned one or two of those planets near a hub or a lowsec gate. Discouraging people from using anything else is GREAT for me.

And it all goes triple for big alliances, who don't care about the piddle of isk they can make from being nice to the carebears, but who really care about market manipulation, which they can do by shutting other people down.

There's the thing, like I said, the Market Manipulation is not going to work, not how people think for several reasons.

1: PI Mostly comes from Low/Null/WH ANYWAY, High Sec is going to have little effect on the market as a whole.
2: By Cutting out the "Kittens" you leave nothing but Lions to contend with. If the market becomes far more difficult to control in any one's favor when all the contenders are big wigs.
3: By having high Taxes, you are encouraging people to use anything BUT yours. meaning you are loosing out for more work.


Dude you are trying to lecture the people that control half the economy in game, the people that have manipulated prices and created cartels for years. They know far more about this than you and spent many hours brainstorming how this would play out and which planets were worth taking. Please step back and think that maybe it is you who is ignorant here. Show a bit of humility and stop embarrassing yourself.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

High sec Customs Office change is correct direction for EVE. More player owned stuff the better, more destruction, more tears and more conquest.

As for OP's 90% tax rate. You have two options, blow it up or pack your stuff. There are plenty of POCOs with low tax rate, specially in Low sec, go check em out.

Ok, I've started to see people set up customs offices in High sec with taxes a t 80-90%. Why in Gods name would they do this? This is not Low/Null sec, you WANT people to use your Planets. High Sec PI's profit is not in Planet Resources (P0s), they are too low for that, Dedicated PI players are going to go for P2-P4 Factory worlds. The Smart Owners will set low taxes at around 1-5%, to attract as many people to their systems as possible.
Lets do some simply Math.

Say you own a system with 8 planets. Each Player will have at Minimum 6 Factory worlds. Each of those Factory worlds can produce 1-2mil per Player in Taxes per day at even 1%, or 6-12`mil per Player per day. Say you attract only 10 players to the System. That's 60-120mil per day with no work, PLUS your own PI, PLUS your Corp/Alliance PI.

So to recap, why are people choosing just alliance control, when they can have Alliance control AND make 1.8bil-3.60bil a month in Taxes?



just means people dont want their poco's up any longer.

If you don't mind answering, is this focused in specific areas, or scattered across the map?

And, were the pocos taken chosen by design or opportunity?

RvB is located in The Forge, a few jumps from Jita. In order to defend them a bit more effectively we selected areas close to home. Most of our members won't go more than 6 jumps for a fight, so we won't travel too much farther to defend POCOs. Unless we think we can get a good fight.....

As for the specifc systems/planets that were picked, the smart people figured that out...

There are ingame tools that you can use to remove the poco and place your own. I guess you figured that posting and crying was the 1st option instead of war decing the people that own the poco. this is eve, deal with it.

Is it not obvious enough? Highsec poco should be set as high as possible. Because tax rate will discourage you to use highsec planets.
This leaves the only options


A. Lowsec.
B. Nullsec.
C. Wormhole.

the more people leave highsec the better EVE becomes.

But by setting it to zero for my friends and 100% for everyone else I gain:
- Cheap PI for me and my friends
- Forum tears instead of competition from others.
- Better price for the PI we produce.
- Potential wardecs that can be handed over (and in some cases even sold) to dedicated PVP corps.

Sounds like a decent plan.

No, there's the thing; by setting LOW taxes, you get
-Cheap PI for you and your Friends.
-Support from the Community
-Much more Isk from Taxes than Market manipulation
-Just as may Wardecs from those trying to take over a profitable system.



I agree this is what CCP wanted to happen but... its sortia having the opposite effect as the OP mentioned. Granted its not all of the POCOs but a few are

If you dislike it, declare war on them and take down the poco, and replace it with your own, priced at reasonable rates
