long duration buy/sell orders (90d) = lower taxes (0,75% as it is now) and cannot change order no earlier than after 24h

short duration buy/sell orders (day) = higher taxes (1,5% ) and can change this order after 5 minutes (as now)

this would:

- increase isk sink
- stabilize market prices
- decrease 0,01 isk wars

I hate 0.01 ISK wars and I'm here to tell you that this is the worst idea you've ever had in your life.

Yes, it's even worse than that idea.

Yes I do know how bad that idea was. This idea is still worse.

Two seconds of rejiggering of their spreadsheets would enable anyone with half a brain to account for the extra tax and pass it along to the market in the form of marginally higher prices. In the end, nothing would change beacuse everyone would use the higher tax option for high volume items and the low tax option for low volume ones.

No.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
