The higher PI taxes are deliberate.

So please yes quit PI throw in the towel, and sit on the forums and whine while I grow rich in EvE. Heaven forbid you do anything constructive like make your own centers in low sec, talk with similar corps about building and protecting some to use in low sec, NPC null, WH etc. I always forget this is EvE online instead of actually getting off your rear to work around a problem or go around it... lets just flood the forum with tears as usual.

You do realize that once the prices stop fluctuating and the market has adjusted to the new tax rate, that you will be making at least as much profit as you did before... with the option to make a much higher profit margin if you ever decide "you want" to venture into Low Sec.

I think you need to draw the line at pulling the rug out from under people's play style. Give people options and incentives, yes. Rebalance, yes.

But the player who sits in station and trades and hasn't flown a ship in years is not a problem to be solved. He's a customer. Who knows why he plays that way? The challenges involved must work for him somehow. Don't view him as fresh meat that somehow must be delivered to the Goonswarm to be slaughtered
