Interesting thought. Are you suggesting that the attraction of incursions has been diluting the coercive powers of large corp / faction execs to 'force' their troops to do what they want? I guess this is probably a good thing medium-long term, as it will help to weed out the 'management' groups who fail to engage their people and have them believe in what they're being asked to do. Helping darwin do his job.

No wonder the likes of Salazar (aka xxsketch) et al are spending so much effort trying to talk-down and bad-mouth incursions ... if incursions are eroding the power-base of incompetent leaderships elsewhere.

When I was in nullsec PvP corp they popped the tax-rate up to 100% to 'encourage' CTA attendance. Of course there must have been ppl who used mission-runner alts then and just ran lvl4s in hisec. Not me tho, I **was** the mission-runner alt :-)

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Bro, I'm in Bort, 90% of our members aren't even subbed, let alone logging in for fleets or incursions. I don't really care what they do with their time.

Why is it impossible for you to believe that I and others genuinely just think Incursion isk production in high sec is bad for the game without thinking I have some sort of agenda or personal interest other than balance for the game?

Test has never had 100% tax or CTA but good try brosef. Its actually a big reason I joined Dreddit. I can finally play the game and do literally whatever I want (in terms of pve/pvp/logging in).

Though, if you're ever in an alliance that starts doing the 100% tax game, you should probably leave. Its a good sign the alliance will die soon.
