EVE General Discussion

Bald move CCP.
This is gonna have a bad effect in eve guaranteed. specially in regions where these planet stuff aint that good or worth to buy custom office. I cant blaim anyone not wanting to buy it....its a huge investment that will only return the investment 2 years down the line..
bad bad move

Thank you for giving up on your oh so safe PI in highsec.

I for one welcome my increased income due to increasing market sell prices :)

it is. people just want things fed to them without actually doing anything. im glad for the tax increase, the isk pools is just getting larger and larger. more isk sinks need to be placed in.

Ho w8, are you talking about the old PI with witch you can buy plex and play for free??

Your $45 ?? hahahaha, I'd say CCP won $45

Yes go away please this game will be better without scrubs, thxbye

While I understand your concerns I have to call you attention about something you, me or every one else will never be able to make "some" understand.

Economy only knows positive numbers witch means "good, health, hapiness' while every one and his cat knows it's totally untrue since the good part profits only to "some" and this apply s also IG, when the same economy stagnates for whatever reason they call it "crisis" because those "some" are getting negative numbers.

People will probably understand some day, and by the hard way, that economy model has we know it let it be irl or ig is utopia just like base the biggest part of our rl economy around oil, yes we're dumb enough to base our economy on something that is going to clearly disappear, we know it but we keep running the numbers, isn't this strange?
Economy has we know it can't keep positive numbers all the time, it's physically impossible because there's no other way to keep that utopia then by printing money related to something that clearly doesn't physically exist.

The bad news irl is that the only way to restart it from the scratch and give it a new cycle you only have to create massive wars and destruction witch every economist will tell you just like IG and with the same lack of empathy "it's good for economy", the good news is that in eve it's just a game and if it becomes unplayable dev's can make sort those negative numbers don't affect you, me, or other players but at the end the "same" will be those who still profit more than all others.

It's just a game, if somehow print isk from 0 is needed to keep it rolling nothing easier for dev's than move some numbers, it's only a matter of time.

These tax rates have obviously been set to intice peeps to set up null/low sec customs offices. Well good luck with that, if PL are so desperate for a km that they will drop 10 titans plus to many supercaps to count just to get a hurricane km in KBP, you think they wont pop customs offices just for the lols...its not like they even have to buy ammo. PI materialsd are going to get real expensive realy quickly.

So if you going to want to do PI, grab soveriginty, wait untill you can cynojam the system, then maybe , just maybe. Of course if your the goons or Test and have some orginization skills, you can set up alliance level PI and export it to jita, in 6 months you'll have an income stream greater then tech moons.

Bullcrap. There's no added risk/reward with these PCOs at all. It's nothing but added expenses. People won't waste their time in lowsec defending these useless structures... if they can't keep one up they'll simply stop wasting their time with PI. It's even more useless in wormhole space... I don't know what the hell Nullabor was thinking even including them in wormholes. All they are are added, useless expenses, wasted isk. With these dumbassed tax rates we'll be setting them to 0% in hole in order to keep from screwing over corp and alliance folks and pretty much shutting the door on any of those mythical ninja-WH-PI people I hear of. Even a 1% tax at the new figures is more than what was being paid prior, so it's not worth having one at all when your own allies are going to be the only ones affected.

This is one change that if it went away wouldn't be missed, aside from the blowhards and griefers that is.

you are my hero .... not

I would of thought with all that inside info your chairman has you lot would of done the same...

Sorry did I say that out loud, of course your chairman would never ever ever use inside information to make isk.. I apologise :)

I disagree, Jade.

True, PI could have used more player generated conflict but I still think the best approach would have been to make that conflict on the planets instead of coating PI with completely different mechanics and game play. The core PI mechanics still consists of simplistic clicking and moving dots around and does in no way match the engaging game play that was presented at the fan fest prior to PIs introduction.

Further, that CCP has to so strongly manipulate the market to make POCOs a viable game play speak tons about how little POCOs add to the game by themselves. As example, CCP has not needed to increase construction prices of all tier 1 and 2 battlecruisers for people to become interested in buying a tier 3. And synth booster production? Well, that game play element has been completely sacrificed for the sake of POCOs. While the increased PI costs can mostly be directed to increased prices for the final products, there is no way people will buy these boosters at all now. I find it really hard to support introduction of new game mechanics when they come at the direct cost of others when there are so many other things CCP could have been improving upon.

Finally, the POCO mechanics support the "numbers=win" and "nap feast" game play types that tire many people in zero sec. I am a firm opponent of promoting these game play types any more than necessary.
