Schools are funded by property taxes. Better schools == better citizens2be == safer community.
It's when you pay high property taxes and of the kids that enter the local high school, only one in three graduates, that you have a real problem.

On a side note, does anyone really take the "Gallente are French descendants" lore seriously? CCP might as well have said that the Gallente are descendants of Greece.

Except that it's not progressive by income, it's progressive by age. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

I propose CCP remedy this by periodically levying a tax on both ISK holdings and the estimated (by average market values) worth of player asset values; these funds could then be spent on free ships for newbies and such, to level out the playing field and give people a fighting chance against the alliance that currently has a stranglehold on Fun in this game.
Eve is a sandbox.
Join one of these rich alliances, work your way to the top. Steal everything, then donate to newbs.
no need for CCP to do this, the tools to get it done are already in-game.

But I know, you want the NPCs to do it FOR YOU. Like how NPCs protect you and NPC stations, wow NPCs are amazing. Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd Click for old school EVE Portraits: http://jadeconstantine.web44.net/Maison.htm |
