EvE (and PI in particular) is ballanced around an "effort to reward" ratio (don't give me that risk vs reward junk, you've got a pretty equal chance of getting ganked no matter where you are) If you can't be arsed to get your own customs office, you pay extra taxes. (also if you realy are running everything that you say you are, it is ulikley that even a meager 17% tax rate is cutting into your profits that deepely)

I like this, for a 10.0 standings make the tax rate like 10%, 0.0 like 25% below 0.0 stands they wont let you...

Im just making up numbers here also so vote the idea, not the numbers

POCOs are standings based.

Interbus offices are just there to give people an incentive to replace them with their own. If you must, just nuke it with some alts in bombers. Me and three of my alts took down a poco the other day without jumping a single capital in, so its definitely possible.

Failing that, pay me, tell me what customs offices and I'll take them down for you.

OP if you want to be taken seriously on the internet, then you should at least learn some proper spelling and put in some paragraphs.


And as it has already been said: move out to null or low and put up your own POCO's.

You could even do it in w-space, i'm seeing plenty of c1, c3 and c5 systems that are completely devoid of life.

No one is whining about grammar. We're simply informing you that, should you want to be taken seriously on the internet (especially on a game like Eve, which attracts a more intelligent crowd), you would do well to learn proper grammar and use it. As it stands, you come across as a little kid who thinks it's 'kewl' to suck at spelling and grammar and is currently having a temper tantrum because he's not getting his way.

If you want people to treat you like an intelligent human being, then you should act like one.

first of all, you have to understand economics . . . the customs office tax is one of the few isk sinks left in the game and it needs to stay right where it is.

Second, your argument that the "average" player is somehow being ignored in favor of the "titan owners" is laughable at best. Specifically right now that the huge titan nerf is currently being put through.

Your complaint that prices are going up is a result of the market readjusting from the loss of drone minerals and meta 0 drops, both things that the "average player" requested a long time ago.

Additionally your complaint about the "average player" leaves out the fact that the "average player" can now sit in high sec and mine trit all day making 11,000,000 isk/hulk/hour

Now the fact that may not be what you want to do isnt really my, or CCPs problem.

Isk sink? Your argument holds no water.....i have 20 planets devoted to one p4...each planet producing a p2 i require wioth the final planet being a p3 to p4 planet. The transfers are expensive, im still making bills a month...with another simpler p4 in production on 5 planets...im paying lots of tax. This should be reduced as the isk just vaporizes being 'taxed' by an npc corp. With a projected profit of 2.5-3 bill/ 28 days... depending on how lazy i am, 17% of that goes into an abyss for no ones benefit.
I dont really care if people have thought of this before, it should be reduced. 11% would be more fair, or the standings based thing mentioned earlier.
Generating isk is what i do. Escrow trading is a lot easier and more isk. but i wanted a challenge and to learn to do the pi stuff..which i have
Hit me grammar pohlice.

You think managing 25 planets with a 2 day extractor cycle is lazy? Do you realize how much i invested in this through trial and error learning the pi stuff also? I have a team of cranes and do massive escrow trrade in jita. And this is just my passive isk generation . I prefer pvp. I'm doing my bit to improve eve through producing high tech items en masse and offer you the cheapest prices in jita. I'll have a titan sooner than you :)

So, just out of interest, high sec customs offices... you can't take these down at all? You get GCC/faction aggro for attacking them or something?

/me wonders how many tornados it takes to alpha an interbus office.

Um..all my 25 planets are in low sec. I would rather just not schmooze with the locals....hence why i like the npc customs offices...reduce the tax...make it more viable for people who play solo. And yes i am uber pwn with awesome sauce...dont forget it

So, let me get this right.

You don't want to talk to people. You don't want to work with people. You just want the NPC tax be lower so it will be easier for you.

Hint: MMOG. It is supposed to be harder if you don't have allies.

They are already configured to allow you to do that.

Even to the point of allowing/preventing access.

EM are big-time haters since i taught them how to pvp.
If i put up a customs office it would probly last 5 minutes!!!!
Once again, all my hard work is for the benefit of eve players.
Just a small 1/3 reduction in interbus customs tax would be kewl. I could live with that.
I like talking to ppl...I just dont like being moderated by a ever changing landscape.
You're all bots anyways!!!!!
Eve is a one player game, im not even connected to the internet!
