Why gankbears shouldn't pay for an extra CONCORD bypassing service? This is not extra CONCORD protection service - this is a fix for free CONCORD removal service. You are not entitled to bypass CONCORD in hisec for free, this is a design strategy that has been there since CONCORD appearance, so this is not extra protection, it's just fixing things to how they are supposed to be.

All mandatory 11% tax in NPC corps does is making people play in me-and-my-alts player corps, and only do so when they do taxable activity. I call that fairly ineffective.

ED: You people have the wrong perspective on this whole issue. Since you think that the default is "FF legal", you think some extra protection has been added, however, it was clearly stated that it was made optional ONLY because RvB wanted their hisec free-for-alls. The default if "FF illegal", "FF legal" is self-wardec mode, while "FF illegal" is the default intended behavior, which should've been that way ever since crimewatch, but got delayed due to hurr-durr freighter webbing I-cant-manage-my-safety derpettes. Once again, treating the default intended mode as "extra" is wrong, and the fact it were broken before doesn't justify this mistake in thinking.

Yeah, it probably will be tears. At least it was, when Fozzie ruined mining in Odyssey. Though I think he had learned his lesson and won't touch industry again, as it took 5 buffs for the mining to recover to 75% of pre-odyssey levels, while being dominated by bots when their limits were Fozzified in Odyssey.

Guess I'm just being vengeful, finding the "change" (actually, bugfix) I completely agree with, and dishing out every HTFU I took on changes I don't agree with, back at whoever is bitter.

You can't disagree though that many of the "opinions" against this change are awfully tear-jerking. But criers be crying, I guess. Imagine this, someday CCP fixes POS hangars (ok, yeah, just humor me and imagine they did) and will remove another hack - storing items in ship arrays. And though it will offer no substantial benefit with fixed hangars, wormholers will object to this change, maybe because it'll take them too much time and effort to review their POS setups and haul new additional hangars, enough so they'd rather drop POS and quit. Imaginary CCP listens and gives them a switch in corp info which allows them to register as wormhole corp, and keep storing stuff in ship arrays. Next thing I know is people like crybabies in this thread arguing there should be a tax for this "extra utility", because "wormhole corps don't rely on bounties anyway,but those (insert generic dehumanizing term with insulting meaning, i.e. "carebears") deserve to pay for extra utility". Would that be tears? Tears indeed. And jealousy. "CCP gives other boys something but not me". Which is why, addressing reasoning like this, I'm keeping my smugness.

A bugfix happened. Things went to how they were supposed to be. And some cry because they loved exploiting the bug to give themselves a free ride on it. No more. CCP has already listened to their tears and, as an exception among exceptions, given them the switch, which covers every borderline valid use case they brought into discussion - and what? Now they want to penalize everyone for not being as exceptional as they are. You know the right answer to this? Because I do: cry me a retriever.

It was ran with CSM, and honestly, CCP is being extremely considerate on the matter.
The correct way were just equalize NPC corps with player corps so it was both "FF illegal".

But tears were shed about RvB freeforalls (which are, arguably, but content), and about people who wanted to keep their freighter webbing bots functional without going thru pain of updating them with dueling the freighter.

CCP went extra length and delayed the removal of corp aggression hack to implement the switch, which covered each and every, however crazy, use-case cons have brought into discussion.

Now I can understand their answers too. Should they say what I say, every freighter in the new eden would be needed to counter the tear flood. They cannot publicly admit that the whole AWOX snafu was a bug, and it's getting fixed, and instead cover the issue with "player retention" and "meaningful choices", and other various unrelated stuff. I know you feel they lie to you and get agitated, but the truth will call #eveisdying and #evegonesoft tear-nado of incredible proportions from people who made it their "playstyle" to enjoy every bug which gives them stuff without trying. Check this thread, we're hearing all kinds of completely hypocritical rationalizations like "some people deserve to be awoxed" or "I haven't been asked" or downright "bawww noobs are getting extra protection what am I going to do without free targets?".

Bottom line: The change is a bugfix, a hack removal. CCP were super extra considerate to your concerns, and delayed removing this hack for more than a year to give you a switch, in order to be able to bypass an iron rule "no FREE non-consensual pvp in hisec" (there's still a crap lot more of it in hisec, despite being not free, than in any other place). Switch has covered every valid use-case CSM and their respondents could think of. You want dialogue - become CSM member or enlist with one (just not Sabriz and Tora, two cretins are just trolling and sabotaging the whole point of CSM) and become his respondent, because that's how dialog were had, because that's how you got the switch instead of just hack removal, and not even happy with this gift. Shame on you.
