For me the result is the planets I like to use will actually have a smaller tax than they did pre-expansion.
Which, really, is the point. :) "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. GǪ" |

Ginger Barbarella wrote:You need to understand that the people who LIKE gate camping or station camping and wardec'ing industry corps DON'T CARE about PI in any way, shape, or form. They pewpew a few customs offices, think they're pissing people off, and feel good about themselves until the Cheetos bag runs dry. PI matters to people who use it to build stuff (like the guns and ammo the above like shooting), and those affected negatively will just move their operations. It really isn't a big deal.
I'm sure the RvBee thing (or whatever they're called) will turn out to be a metagame of it's own, but it would be nice to (finally) see a coalition of high sec industrials, missioners, and others band together to set up an alliance of sorts (not a real alliance, cuz that would be too juicy of a target) in a given constellation or two, and operate there on a cooperative system.
But the likelihood of that happening is about the same as the Goonies actually doing something right for once.
RvBee is lowering the amount you pay for PI in high sec, while simultaneously creating both an income stream AND conflict opportunities. As this appears to be win-win-win for everyone involved, I'm still trying to wrap my head around anyone complaining about it.
(Now, people setting stupid high taxes, that's a valid complaint, of course.) "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

The who would be players who were unhappy with said "stupid high taxes" and the how would be by declaring war and tearing down said POCOs. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

It's rather idiotic to suggest wardec'ing goons et al by anyone other than another null sec alliance, so do everyone the favor of not trying to support your argument with dumb comments. This was clearly another move by CCP to reinforce the "bigger is better" gameplan for high sec. I'll just move my operations elsewhere when a large group of nullbears move into town; no sweat for me.

Alice Doombringer wrote:WEll... I just see that Goonswarm and its friends are only ones benefitting from the poco:s. and i quess it was their idea at the start anyways.
Prior to Rubicon, Interbus custom's offices charged you 17% tax. Post Rubicon, RvBee's POCOs charge you 15% (10% if you train a skill).
Tell me again how RvBee are the "only ones benefitting from the poco:s"? "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. GǪ" |

Rita Riddick wrote:So your solution is to stfu or move? You guys are so full of yourselves that it's pathetic.
Selective reading comprehension, I love it.
I'm pretty sure more than "stfu or move" have been offered as solutions. Let's see...
Possible Solutions:
1) Accept the change, train a skill, pay less than 17% tax. 2) Don't accept the change, gather some friends together or hire mercenaries and DO something about it. 3) STFU and either give up on PI or move elsewhere. 4) None of the above, continue to complain here.
We have seen #2 happen, and RvB has received wardecs because people have decided to DO something about it. Whether they are successful or not, they aren't sitting around on a forum whinging about it, wringing their hands, and gnashing their teeth while wailing at the heavens.
Complaining that you are but a single, lonely, and penniless capsuleer who has no power to do anything really only does yourself a disservice. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your position in a massively multiplayer game? "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Hey, now, you cannot expect your normal player to have to look at something outside of the game to know what's coming up. That's UNFAIR to expect, you know.

My faith in humanity demands that I believe that this post was sarcastic. For those who agreed with the above post, I remind you that RvB has more POCOs than the goons and has the first high sec ibco kill in the game! Therefore, by the same "logic", RvB doesn't just have CCP links, RvB is CCP! You're an idiot and your logic is flawed...to say the least. You noticed that the logic was flawed?!?

You know, I kinda respect that. When it suits us, we can behave as legitimate businesspeople. This is definitely a case where it suits us. We get a nice income out of setting fair tax rates that encourage people to use (or continue to use) our customs offices, and besides, the tears coming from people who rage out at the mere idea of us owning some small part of highsec are far sweeter than anything we'd get from people complaining about huge tax rates. It's win/win, really. With more tears coming from people who complain getting higher tax rates
Who'll then complain that they were right the whole time. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. GǪ" |

It is a good thing that RvB controls a bunch then hmm?
And, since RvB is a Goon pet, mathematically, it means that the Goons control them.
