I would increase NPC tax rate a LOT but based on character age. Example. Your tax start at 0 and increase by 10% per month. Up to something like 50%.
When you create a corp, the startign minimal tax (Taht does nto go to the corp wallet) be around 25%. And htat tax reduced by 1% per member in the corp.
Not really. People play the game certain ways because that is the gameplay that appeals to them. This idea that you can force people to play differently and they're going to be happier for it is pretty half baked and ridiculous in a ame like EVE that presents you with near infinite ways to play when you're logged in. I mean, you are literally saying "this game has infinite approaches to gameplay and having been presented with this wealth of options people have chosen wrongly and I want to force them to play differently because they will have more fun!". That's ridiculous. TL;DR - maybe you should take up mining mate, you'd be happier.
Sure you cannot be sure they wil be happier. But you can be sure they will not have the CHANCE to be happier if they never are exposed to it.
If they dislike they are always free to go back to NPC corp with high tax. If you decide to live ain an isoalted wrold, the tax itself does nto matter. Since you do not iterat with other peopel the more or less money is just an illusion. Because no one else is more or less rich than you sicne they do not exist for you.

I'm looking at OP corp history and kill board and can't for the life of me think about what this dude has been doing for the last 8 months. Ship spinning? No pvp, only a 0.9 sec status so not ratting. Trade and industry? Seems fishy to me.
I don't think an April 2013 character is too young to be in a BS. Fit was not the worst I've seen. But not great either. No rigs and derping around during a war-dec. Hmm... insurance fraud perhaps?

High Sec pvp'ers should really not waste this isk on war-decs. Simply go on into Null fly around abit, maybe even shoot someone. There will be a fight shortly. Easy as pie. Unless bangin the backend of a mission fit ship is your gig. If it is, I'm sorry. Really.

For some it's about the tears. Most in nullsec (key word 'most') don't shed the tasty tears. |

Why do that when the prey is better in high?
If I'm going to get on a 2.5 billion ISK killmail, I'd rather it be me soloing an incursion ship and getting all the loot drops rather than me and six mates jumping an Archon and sharing the much less impressive loot drops. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content.

Millions lost because I can't just be left the hell alone, yet still have some sense of community and guys to run PvE. As a new player I can not get ahead because every time I join a corp, some ass hole f***ing thinks it's funny to blow my s*** up in a stupid ass war. Seriously. Rant over.
Stop joining shiitty high sec carebear corps.
From your OP - It seems you keep repeating the same behavior and expecting a different result.
Join a low sec pvp corp. Learn to pew and then once you can protect yourself go back to high sec. There is not much in eve that a well flown Griffin and a few Merlins cant handle.
You just need to learn some basics.
If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me. Now don't judge or question. You are broken now, but faith can heal you. Just do everything I tell you to do. (Opiate - Tool) |

Without stuff being blown up, and without people blowing stuff up, the demand for new hardware would plummet, and the economy would grind to a halt.
While it sucks to lose stuff, that's life in New Eden due to the hypercapitalistic, conflict fueled society that we all live in.
My best advice as an 11 year veteran of EVE?
Learn to shoot back.

There is the fake or not fake issue of isolation but there is the issue , and very real, of most people never experiencing the game as it was tought to be played and depriving themelves fromt he best of the game and depriving the game from themselves before being able to do a proper judgement.
There must be a way to break this preconception, to point to players how much better the game is when played in a group. If all players tasted it, in a good corp, just a tiny minority would go back to NPC corps. "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |

I want to PVP without worry of triage carriers, without bubbles , so that I can use freely my slave and snake sets. I dont like smartbombing gate camps.
I want just a different type of PVP.
That is where the carebears fail!
They think high sec is for non PVP activities. NO. High sec is just ANOTHER type of PVP, that is different from low sec, from 0.0 from Worm space.
And stop callign people PVPers, that is same as callign us simply Eve players. There is no non PVPers in EVE. Even if you think you do not PVP you are wrong, you do PVP, you are just horrible at it. "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |

Have people in the starter corps telling new players the truth, preventing the veterans already there to make new players go mine or mission on their own. That's what you need to do. |

Not that I think people should be immune to war decs or anything, but are you seriously implying that being farmed by HG slave highsec warlords is "the best of the game"? Seriously? |

No. Iteraction with other peopel where you can learn, do things toghether, make planas and go over your obstacles is.
Enroll in eve uni at least. You will learn more there and play more eve than ANY solo player ever did.
And you are only goign to be farmed if you keep the mentality of a solo dude. When you learn to iteract with others, voil+í. ITs extremely hard to die. We are commonly in wars with other high sec merc corps, but its very rare for us to loose a ship. Is that becaue of our SP count? No. Its because we are a group, learn togheter, share experiences share intel and learn to communicate. "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |
