I don't think the problem is in the system. The Problem is among the Community. If you want to get people out of the Starter Corporations / NPC Corporations, then just offer them more than the NPC Corporation does.
I do not believe that increasing Taxes or a "nerf" is the right way. Higher taxes will not get people out of the NPC Corp. And if, they will probably make a One-Man Corporation. However, that's not really the desired effect either because in a One-Man Corp, people are not really part of the active community, while in an NPC Corp there is at least some activity and good (most of the time) socializing (at least in CAS).
Another option is: if the nerfs for NPC Corps get too nasty, people will leave. Not the Corporation but EVE Online all together.
Again, the problem is not the system, the problem is the Community. We all should accept that other Capsuleers have other ways to enjoy their time in New Eden. And for everyone there is also enough room for what they like to do.
PvPers that like the dirty gank have their Low-Sector. People that like the higher "Art-of-Space-War" and the politics have Null-Sector, adventurers have their vast Wormholes, and the Care Bears have their beloved High-Sector.
Sure, PvP is a core thing of EVE, but after all it's also a SANDBOX where people should be allowed to enjoy their Space-Life the way they wish to, not the way others want them to (for that mindset you may want to switch to a WoW-PvP Realm where it's narrow like that). Leave the "safe" (it's a lie anyway, isn't it?) NPC Corps to the Care Bears. They leave the Null-Sectors to you too and don't try to change it to their likes.
To many of us EVE Online is the Goddess of all MMOs. Because it's Community based, because it's difficult to learn (compared to other MMOs that is), it looks amazing, it has nearly endless possibilities and it grants us a freedom no other MMO offers.
We're one Community and we should stick a little bit more together for the sake of the survival of EVE Online. No need to destroy each others comfort zones. |
