As for paying a tax on mission pay, rewards and NPC bounty's, why is it only being imposed on member's of NPC corps? That right there is a clear case of discrimination and is close to being a 'Grief' tactic.
Placing a 'Tax' on that is fine as long as it's being imposed upon everyone, including player corp members as well. And while you're at it, make sure the low security/0.0 NPC Pirate bounty's are taxed as well. I know a lot of player corp members that make millions of isk quickly from those which is way more than I could ever make from a level 4 mission.
1. players in player corps are in more danger than you are (or at least more potential danger.
2. low sec and 0.0 npc bounties are generally speaking taxed by the pc entities that hold them but even if they weren't, again they are making more isk because they are also risking more isk. There is nothing there (no concord nada) to protect them, if you want risk free isk enjoy the mediocre returns of an empire toon (tbh you can make tons of iskies in empire you just have be a tad smarter than the average tool) (heck if you like lvl 4s so much just make 2 or 3 alt accounts and you can bust out the missions in a heart beat and pay for your accounts in iskies to boot.).
That said its about risk v reward; that is what they are trying to do and I for one applaud them.
Risk v reward, lets examine this a bit.
You're in a player corp that belongs to an Alliance that controls an area of 0.0 and if anyone not part of the alliance enters that area, they would be killed asap by all members of the alliance, meanwhile you're safe and sound. If someone did manage to get close to you, steal from you or if by chance were able to shoot at you, you and all your corp-mates would jump on him like a pack of wild dogs. Oh yeah, real big risk. Reward = super big bounty's on NPC's.
I'm in a NPC corp that belongs to a NPC alliance which controls an area in high sec and allows all players to enter if they have above -5.00 faction standing with a half way decent security status. Meanwhile I think I'm safe till someone attacks me and blows up my ship which then Concord kills them while his buddy/corp-mate steals from me. None of the members in my corp are allowed to help me yet the thief can have his corp-mates help him if I attack him or take my cargo back. Oh yeah, real safe. Reward = small to medium bounty's on NPC's.
The trade off for that is tax free for NPC corp members and no wardec which you should be glad about. I would love to have NPC corps able to do wardec. I can see it now, NPC corp-mates would swarm player corps like a hoard of angry bee's all over a big bear. In fact, all the player corps/alliances had better hope that the members of NPC corps don't band together and form a corp/alliance of their own.
