Now CCP is going to let griefers overtax the alredy highly taxed PI in hisec. Gee, thanks, but no thanks. Don't have time for it anymore.

Ya it may make for some interesting fights but it will kill PI mark my words.

I'm actually rather surprised no one has really caught on to what the problem is going to be.

Let me tell you what likely will happen:

1. Goonswarm and other big entities will come in and sweep the vast majority of POCOs out of interbus and into their own back pockets. There will be varying degrees of success, but likely because of the skillful organization of Goonswarm, they will be the most successful. Especially since they already have marked which critical planets (I'm thinking Plasma, etc.) are the primary ones to hit.

2. Taxes will be at or below Interbus for those POCOs in Goonswarm. Taxes at other POCOs will vary wildly based on the short-term or long-term logic of their current leaders and industrial bosses.

3. PI'ers will move and adjust to fit with their profit level. This will invariably mean that more people will access Goon (and like minded) controlled POCOs because of their consistancy in keeping that tax rate at a certain level. Profits for more short-term minded entities will fall because they did not see it as a profit center for anyone outside of their own group.

4. Comfort will set in. Time will pass.

5. Goonswarm announces another interdiction, this time raising the taxes to 100% on all their POCOs and leaving them there while they profit from the increased cost of POS fuels and T2 materials.

6. PI'ers will move and whine again, fully ignoring the fact that now was probably a good time to organize and be prepared.

The Goonswarm leadership has proven itself time and time again to be very capable at staging long term, high quality operations. I would expect nothing less from them this time around. Why people think it would happen any other way boggles my mind.
