Harkwyth Mist Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:09:00 - [241] Originally by: WhiteGhostBear Too bad this punishes new players But it doesnt punish new players AFAIK bounties remain untaxed untill you hit approx 30k .. people doing L1 missions (newbies) dont earn enough to get taxed. It only affect's people who've been playing a while, and the crying about the tax in CAS chat is already at epic levels, the patch isn't even here yet. At the end of the day, it's CCP's game, we either play by thier rules or play elsewhere, I plan to stay.

So you're saying that a corp started by a player to avoid being in an NPC corp is, in fact, not a player corp? So you are saying that with player-corporation Ccp means 1 man corps, because it would be that great to have 80.000 of thoose. What Ccp obviously means when they speak of player corporations is "real" corporations, not workaround corporations.
Michwich	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:18:00 - [244] Originally by: Haakelen Originally by: Furb Killer More sociable how compared to being in a corp with thousands of others? You've been in player corps (including Siigari's ). Looking through your corp history, this presumably includes experiencing what player corps of various sizes and competency do. You were also in factional warfare twice, so I'll use small words. An NPC corp is not a corp, it is a channel with wardec immunity. The pathetic little pubbie activities that are occasionally undertaken by bitter old vets (like you) notwithstanding, nothing happens in NPC corps that in any way resembles the activities in player corps, large or small. People who spend a lot of time in NPC corps are not playing Eve. People who want a single player game should play one. Or, alternatively, people who like the usual MMO experience of being in a sea of faceless, nameless drones who kill weak little NPCs all day and once and a while form ad hoc groups would probably be better served in a game that fosters that kind of lame excuse for community. The argument of 'herp derp thousands of members in NPC corps' is fallacious bull****, and everyone who says it knows it. Your hilarious deeply ingrained righteous indignation about internet spaceship injustice is the reason why you oppose anything that reinforces the player interaction that is mostly unique to Eve, and this is absolutely no exception. Johnny doesnt want to come over to your house to play and mommy cant make him come, get over it.
ShadowMaiden Amarr Divine Radiance	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:21:00 - [245] Originally by: AdmiralJohn Originally by: Andra Zeit Originally by: Doomed Predator Only lame ass carebears are ****ed off. ''Oh no, my precious isk/per hour ratio has been dented by a few percent.'' Just give me your stuff and ragequit while you're still upset. Exact. Waste ISK for nothing.. without any sense. Thats why I'm upset. How about you join a real corp and have it count for something, in that case. Pray, let us bask in the light that streams from your moral pinacle and educate us mere mortals on what exactly a "real" corp is?
Tippia Raddick Explorations Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:24:00 - [246] Originally by: Julian Lynq So you are saying that with player-corporation Ccp means 1 man corps, because it would be that great to have 80.000 of thoose. What Ccp obviously means when they speak of player corporations is "real" corporations, not workaround corporations. No, I'm saying that you're reading too much into the CCP statement. Eris is simply saying that they want to nudge people away from NPC corps; you're saying that people will leave the NPC corps; you're then saying that people leaving NPC corps isn't what CCP intends when they're saying that they want to nudge people away from said corps. In short: you make no sense. Whether players join "real" corps or not (by which you somehow mean "large" corps, which is a fairly lopsided way of seeing things, imo) is thoroughly irrelevant — you are claiming that people will do what CCP wants them to do. Given how common those 1-man corps are already, you're making a huge assumption of incompetence on CCP's part if you think that they haven't considered that that will be the effect, and they have still chosen to go ahead with the plan. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki
Julian Lynq	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:29:00 - [247] Edited by: Julian Lynq on 20/09/2009 15:28:59 Originally by: Tippia stuff I am saying ccp indentified a problem in that many people stay in npc corporations and do not join player corporations and thus do not socially interact with each other. Ccp then came up with a "solution" to the "problem". However the solution they come up with is a bad one because infact it does not solve the "problem" at all. It will not make more people join player corporations and interact with each other. and yes, when i say player-corporations, that is real corporations not 1 man zombie ones.
Neesa Corrinne Stimulus Rote Kapelle	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:33:00 - [248] All CCP needs to do in order to fix the 100,000 1 man player corps that would soon rise up after this change is: 1) 10 Players must join a new corporation within 48 hours of it forming for it to remain a viable corporation or it will dissolve. 2) Those first 10 players must be active training accounts. This way, the new corporations won't simply be 10 alts and a mission runner, and the EVE universe also won't suddenly be flooded with thousands of new corps. A good side effect of this is that all of those "holder" alts that have been holding famous corp names for a couple years now will dissolve too, leaving those names open to be reused. Lastly, The next patch is shaping up to be one of the best patches in EVE since the Trinity patch gave us shiny new graphics. ---------------------------------
BlondieBC Minmatar Galactic Exploration and Missions	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:35:00 - [249] Tax should be on sliding scale. 11% first month, 16% second, 21% third. NPC should tax more like 0.0 corps.
Daemonspirit An Android Lust	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:35:00 - [250] LOL @ CCP! Missioners, relax, this amounts to basically a 3.5% to 5% total tax, no big deal at all. This change will not effect: Scouting Alts... 0.0 money making alts... Neutral RR alts... Miners... Traders... Missioners... ??! Wait, whut?! As has been pointed out - this amounts to a total of about 3.5% to 5% change in total mission income. Missioners, if you tweak your settings, you can probably become 3.5 to 5% more effective unless your already in a dam Golem... So don't sweat the small stuff... For anyone that thinks this is suddenly going to empty NPC corps? It won't. Anyone that wants to be in a player corp already is, or they get there quickly. For those undecided, this does nothing whatsoever... Corps have tax too... and the difference between NPC corps 11% tax is just 1 to 10% (some may tax more or less... vOv) CCP wants more people in Player Corps? /beginsarcasm Well isn't that just ducky. I feel all warm and fuzzy... /endsarcasm.. If Player Corps and Alliances did more active recruiting, they could probably pull a few people out of the NPC corps, but I doubt many... Because they choose not to play with others (for whatever reason). War-decs? Anyone with .0001 of a brain can figure out how to avoid wardecs... About the absolute only person this is going to have an effect on is the person who HATES any tax on income, will make a small (one man) corp to mission in, and THEN talks smack in local... Anyone else will usually just fly under the radar, and never undock... Last (but not least) go to just about any decent out of game database of corporations. Sort by members... How many corps are there less than 5? TONS... and the vast majority never get wardec'd now, so why would they get dec'd in the future? This is just a silly, annoying change that will, in the end, amount to nothing... ôEveryone has a right to be stupid; some people just abuse the privilege.ö

Cassiopeia Draco	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:39:00 - [251] Anyone want popcorn. The Assumptions being made here : 1) Every player in an NPC corp leaves and forms a one man band 2) People wont be happy to pay 11% to avoid war decs 3) People wont group together to form corps Either way all its doing is slightly turning down the isk flow into player wallets.

Lastly, The next patch is shaping up to be one of the best patches in EVE since the Trinity patch gave us shiny new graphics. If they do that it will still not achieve their stated goal of getting more people into player corporations. ppl go into player corporations for the interaction with other players, not for avoiding taxes. thoose that do not want to socially interact with other players still won¦t do that. in the case they counter 1man corporations, theese people will stay in the npc corporations anyway and pay the tax. GOAL NOT ACHIEVED. Even worse there is a not very small chance of quite a bunch of people acutally quitting the game in that case too. So Again: solution that does not solve the problem and have no positive effect besides maybe reducing lag because of players quitting.
zombiedeadhead Minmatar In Your Head	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:50:00 - [253] Imo, the idea that chars in NPC corps will leave and form 1 man corps is just ridiculous.
Andra Zeit	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:52:00 - [254] Originally by: Julian Lynq I am saying ccp indentified a problem in that many people stay in npc corporations and do not join player corporations and thus do not socially interact with each other. So.. they see a problem. But the reason for the problem they won't see. If they wanna solve the problem, pressing player with a tax into player corps, its not a good idea.
Sky Marshal IMpAct Corp Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2009.09.20 15:52:00 - [255] Edited by: Sky Marshal on 20/09/2009 15:56:01 I can see that there are a big quantity of no-brain PVP players who don't still skill Human Psychology at Level 1 or more, and so still ask that everyone play the way than THEY want. Adapt or die. There are people who refuse PVP or work... Sorry have a Corp Life, they are free to do it without have to be punished by some taxes. This tax is just plainly stupid and will NOT motivate people to leave NPC Corps. Adapt to this fact and skill Human Psychology, or leave the game. Period, end of story. People like them just tired normal players, and nearly destroy my alliance. Hopefully, they left us, now we have a better fleet participation. _______ Local is fine, period. CCP devs, you nerfed shield resists by 8.3% but armor by 7.1% (The old Explo/EM "10 points" Nerf). When will you correct this inconsistency ?

No, that merely explains why there won't be the deluge of 1-man corps you were talking about earlier. The encouragement is still there. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki
Gsptlsnz	Posted - 2009.09.20 16:12:00 - [263] Originally by: zombiedeadhead Imo, the idea that chars in NPC corps will leave and form 1 man corps is just ridiculous. This is the natural decision for someone who'd currently playing solo - it's the first thing I thought of when I saw this stupid announcement. It will reduce my interaction with other players (NPC Corp chat), but the alternative is 11% more grinding, which is worse. CCP can't force me into a player Corp before I'm ready to look for one. I certainly resent being pressured though.
Julian Lynq	Posted - 2009.09.20 16:13:00 - [264] Originally by: Tippia this is going no where.

Your #3 I'm not following. People in NPC corps aren't leaving to form Corps... Again, if Player Corps and Alliances did a better job of recruiting new players - Meh, its not going to make any difference, because (as I said before) players who want to be in corps are (or find them) and those who don't, won't. The only people who can actually influence this equation, won't, because of their attitudes. ôEveryone has a right to be stupid; some people just abuse the privilege.ö

It's been a long while since I've been in an NPC corp, and I was always under the assumption that it was a 10% tax. Well, then, good show, CCP. Adding a NPC tax is a great idea AFAIC. If you¦d take the time to properly read the thread you¦d maybe notice why actually it¦s not such a great idea. By the way is there a reason you post in all green text ? Apparently my time is more valuable than yours. Also, the color green was deliberately chosen because it is scientifically proven to annoy noobs and carebears. If you'd taken the time to properly read through all of my past posts, maybe you'd already know that.
AstroPhobic Brutor tribe	Posted - 2009.09.20 16:53:00 - [269] Time to move back into my 2-man corp, I suppose.
Ukucia Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2009.09.20 17:49:00 - [270] Edited by: Ukucia on 20/09/2009 17:49:56 Originally by: Malcanis There may be as many people dedicated to shooting noob corps as you say. Personally I think it sounds like a pretty dull way to play the game You need to stop thinking that the way you use wardecs is remotely close to common. There's 1 of you. Goonswarm just wardec'ed an empire research alliance. You've got a lot of people to kill to "balance the scales" if you think wardecs are not mostly used for griefing. Quote: And for the love of god, stop stereotyping everyone who disagrees with you. That's just plain trolling, or at best making yourself look very silly. Pot, meet kettle.
