I've been in NPC corp ever since I started playing this game and I've learned a lot from 'older' members who have left the NPC corp. I and a few others are now the 'older' members that help new players. Most new players can't get answers to questions from the Noobie chat and let's face it, it has so many players on it that the text goes by so fast you wouldn't see the answer even if it was repeated twice in a row. As for the 'Help' channel, you might as well call it the 'Graveyard' channel. I had a problem a few months ago and went to it and all I got was idea's that I had already tried and when a GM eventually did answer, it was rude and didn't even address my problem. After 3 days and 2 petitions, the problem was resolved.
In the past I've been asked to join a lot of player corps. The main reason I stay in the NPC corp is to help the new players. I don't know where the idea/statement came from about 'older' members of NPC corps making a ton of tax free isk. That statement is so far from the truth that it would take a million light-years just to get in sight of it.
This game was great for the fact that a player had lot's of different options on how to play. Now it seems that those option's are being taken away. Also I'm being told that this game was intended to be PvP? If that was true, then why is there NPC agents with missions, NPC pirates, etc. CCP really needs to wake up and take a good look at this game.
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.
I have no intention of paying for a game subscription to be forced into pvp. EVE for from the start for much of the new subscriber population is missioning or mining. None of the wardec/unsolicted pvp mechanics are really of any interest and more often are related to negative comments reflecting on eve's bully vs the mouse eat or be eaten methodology from people i've discussed the game with. unless ccp can radically change the skill training system to a level where new players can be competitive with older players without having to spend years training skills this whole motive of moving players out of npc corporations will be a huge undeserved burden on many newer players.
