Originally by: Fon Revedhort Looking forward to see more changes in this evidently right direction.
11% is merely a first step.
You'd need to:
- implement a higher progressive tax covering those who have been playing few years while still hanging in the newbie-dungeons NPC corps. So it's 11% right from the start and up to 90% if you're 2 years old vet.
- prohibit lvl 4/5 missions for those in NPC corps.
- prohibit the use of certain ship types for said people. Like Hulks, Navy battleships, Marauders, etc.
- make at least 14 days timer for corp swapping. No need to say this is to prevent farmers from abusing current wardec mechanics.
It'll never happen!
For better or worse, the largest part of players are in noob corp!
That means that the largest part of CCP's income come from players in noob corp..... With me so far? That also means that income come from people who for one reason or another LIKE to be in noob corp.... Still with me?
So, CCP can put a few restrictions, but not the extreme you suggest because then they might lose a major chunk of their income.
With todays EVE playerbase, there HAS to be content which is relatively similar to todays for players who don't like to participate in the PvP game that is also EVE.
Since they bring income to the game too, they can't just be ignored. That is why your suggestion is as unrealistic as moving L4's to low-sec. Neither will ever happen (at least not without providing something similarly juicy to that majority of players).
If you stay in a noobcorp you really dont have any expenses anyway, so would a small tax on missions be a problem.

Originally by: wickedpheonix The whole point of high sec and NPC corps is that they are newbie territory. Once you get a hold of the ropes and get some basic skills down pat you should be moving onto the real stuff, the real game, real risk and reward.
And who pray tell will teach people the ropes? In CAS there are many players that can answer questions of all types, all hours of the day. The first thing a pilot learns in Eve is to close Rookie chat and ask your question in your NPC corp chat. If it only filled with clueless new people who will help the new pilots along?
To learn you must have a teacher.
The newbies are better off learning stuff by themselves or joining a real corp to learn stuff rather than listen to the bitter noobs that stay in npc corps.

Great way to impress new players by dismissing them. Most corps won't take a useless pilot asking why WASD isn't moving their ship or if they leveled up when they appeared back in the med bay after a trip to low sec. I have seen new players quit while on trial because of an attitude like yours directed towards them, which is another target for you and a monthly subscription to CCP in their pocket.
Read it again. I dont dismiss new players but the bitter 80 mill sp noobs that you find in npc corps. Newbies are much better off learning on their own than listening to the players in npc corps.

Originally by: Jonathan Ferguson EVE is becoming WoW. The old-timers, not content with their t2 bpo's, their r64 moons, and their uber character-based combat skills, are now EZ-mode-pleading with EVE devs to grief noob corps. And the EVE devs are complying.
Just like they complied when the old-timers pleaded for a remap option, because they had run out of skills to train on their Per/Wil toon.
Leave my sandbox alone.
The cluelessness of this post hurts my head.
Some people argue with arguments.
Other people argue with meaningless insults.
