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.

You guys should stop.

The haters, for whatever reason they are forced to post,
aren't actually doing anything good for their health with this.

You might find it hilarious to respond to irrational people who can't
even properly express their issues, but it's not.

They'll just accumulate more and more hatred they can't get rid of,
which will sooner or later blast off against themselves or somebody else IRL.


I'd suggest getting some distance.


It's a ******* game !


Cheers.

And for each of these POCOs we own you are paying LESS than the NPC tax rate...

Y'know, if half the people that ***** about goon pocos in this thread actually got together, and set themselves on destroying goon pocos, they could probably be a non-negligible pain in the ass. Hell, they might even make a name for themselves.

Shooting pocos is one of the lowest barrier to entry activities in the game. Quit your bitching and actually do something.

I am rolling happy dreams. With all the PI I have I am going to make a killing once prices start rising.

When you actually think about it, which I know is hard, RvB and Goons actually share a number of key governing ideas in common.

The deal struck may be "outside of the box", in that it isn't intuitive, but it definitely makes sense and has a strong basis to work from. One of those "why didn't i think of that" moments.

Driving up the price of PI goods. LOL, okay, my wallet thanks you. Roll

Trying to manipulate the market price this way has to be one of the most stupid ideas.....

I really don't see the point why some people are so mad. I was expecting 30, 50 or even 100% tax rates around the trade hubs, but instead there is 15 or max 20% that can be lowered with 5% if you have the skills. So a 10% tax rate vs 17% that was before it's a blessing, people should be happy.

Also, I can't understand why people are mad at RvB. These guys are one of the best alliance in the game, it's always a joy to see them fighting in Poinen and creating fun events and content. Taking over these CO's helps them to fund their content creation which is not cheap at all. So give them a break and enjoy the new tax rates which are really decent.

All I want id 5000 m³ space in my command center and a skill to reduce launch cooldown by up to 50%. Actually the cooldown skill could go for expedited transfers, too.
