Who was it crying during the anomoly nerfs? 100 pages of carebears lol? Watch where you aim that smug little finger of yours nullbear. It's all equal.

Personally, I'm pretty tired of people whining about other people caring about their aspect of the game.

Is it just me, or is it just the pirate/griefer crowd that seems to feel the need to feel superior this way -- and express it in the forums?

Regardless of who's doing it to whom, grow up! If you don't care about something someone else does: Just don't post. Go away. Do what you enjoy.

Oh, wait, right. That IS what you enjoy. Right.

Let's see CCP under fire for yet another controversy of their own making, and yet again a never before heard from "oh no I am not a CCP alt" posting single-minded support.

What about people who were only doing PI to fuel their own POS, without ever selling it ? Wait i know, they are screwed, period.

POS fuel cost have risen, between that nerf on PI taxes and the speculation of the f***** goons on oxygen isotope.

My own POS has been unanchored, and i don't plan to use it before long.

Thanks god, SWTOR is only a few weeks away, it's time i get some rest from EVE.

Edit : and of course, the fact that PI was boring as hell is not even mentionned in the CCP response. You need good margin to have people doing boring things.

CCP should have made a larger announcement when they decided to change the tax rates from being based on the old fiat values to market-based one. Also - Concorde and Interbus tax rates going to fluctuate with the market ? What is the mechanism for this ?

That being said ...

This is the way things should be heading. You either buy the security you need to run your PI operation from Concorde or from other players.

CCP is trying to force players into low and 0.0 But forcing customers with practical constraints into 0.0 when they have a different style to play than 0.0 players will resulting into less active accounts. Customers can't be forced to something, they stop paying and this is threatening all of us with our play style.

Well, why not introducing a skill that lowers taxes on NPC-owned Custom Offices?
Even make it a rank8 skill or something, CONCORD and Interbus know how to negotiate. =D

Would be a win-win situation for both parties, players that run PI would pay more "tolerable" taxes and because a PI-alt would take more time to train CCP would extract more money from the player.

Pre-Crucible, there were 3 mayor NPC-taxes/fees: NPC corp tax, refining tax (and refining waste by extension), sales tax/broker fee. Of those, the refining tax and the various market taxes are both affected by skills and/or standing.
The NPC corp tax was included to get people into player corps, so lowering it via skills would have been very, very illogical.

Of course, you could also make CO taxes dependent on standings torwards Concord/interbus, but that would (in my oppinion) disadvantage lowsec-players, as most of them have quite bad secstatus.

But in general, I agree with CCPs move to make PI more player-reliant, but the conjunction between the doubled tax and the massive increase in base value was in my oppinion a bit too much.

All complaining about taxes are rateards just recalculate all prices and start sell at new price if you sell at old price you are dump as hell and you deserve to lose. Fuuck some people just don't want adapt and learn

Just cause your brain cant handle the iq level of the problem, doesnt mean there is no problem

And I am pro tax at 17%. This forces players to setup their own poco's, which gives EVE something extra. Like more PVP options near your poco's, hiring mercs if your corp isnt big enough to defend, setting up your own taxes, making profit from it etc etc...

It would have been better to slowly turn the tax up. Its the same as setting plex prices to 10B, without notice / detailed info.
