I was able to make around 500-800m a month in highsec doing production only but now it will be closer to 100-300 o_o Kind of not really worth it anymore. People say the prices might go up and that could be true, but if the prices go up all around that does not help the production only people. The ratios between buying and selling will still be the same probably D:
Thing is that less offer will be available, more iskies you'll get from what you do.
The more taxes, replacement cost/fuel you have to consider on base prices the more expensive they will get but, it's not an option. Wait a littel bit, keep producing your stuff and leave it on your hangars, prices will probably become interesting in a few days/weeks |

It's good
And you what do you think it will do to the economy since you seem to have some point of view? |

Prices will adjust to account for the new taxes, players will gravitate towards low tax alternative POCOs, and there will be an actual incentive to go to lowsec/nullsec. Life will go on. If anything, this adds a much needed isk sink to highsec, as all of that isk paid to interbus/concord is leaving the economy. |

Well, if there's one way you're sure to convince the one developer who can revert the change you don't like, it's yelling at him and throwing a tantrum!
Care to offer a well-reasoned argument as to why the change is bad for the economy? |

you've got one dev blog that was advertised and pushed forward for attention that states that to keep costs as they were set the tax rate to 5% and then a wiki entry (which i haven't seen posted anywhere before this thread ) stating something completely different
Yeah, agreed about that.
Kal'ar Rinah wrote:also my main concern now is if they update the tax values on a monthly (or bi-monthly) basis then PI costs could very easily spiral out of control..
If they did that it would be ensured to spiral out of control. The market will raise prices by 17% to accomodate the new tax, then they'd update base prices to the new price, it'd go up another 17% to accomodate the tax again, and they'd update the base to the new prices, and so on... |

So its working as intended. I honestly hope that sometime soon(tm) you change your intentions. Taxes of this magnitude will kill high-sec PI. Or is the idea behind this to drive PI out to low-sec where taxes can (not necessarily will) be cheaper? Blacklight Incorporated: Recruiting now for PvP and Industry. |

I agree on the stockpiling - that alone makes it a self fulfilling prophecy! :) Still PI prices are crazy - there is no way I can maintain current price levels when you consider 1) The price increase 2) The fact that some items must be shipped to different planets for advanced/high tech manufacturing, thus paying tax again - import and export and 3) Customs offices which if not owned by me, will cause me to be gouged by the owning corp and if owned by me, will cost me bribe money to not have them blown up.
I understand that with DUST looming CCP wants to give us a reason to fight over planets. Up to now PI has been somewhat of a side-show. However this fundamental game changer is going to re-shape the entire EVE economy and also the whole point of the game. Before it was about grinding sov. Now it's about running to protect planets. Anyone still want to play? |

Oh, did you ever stop to think that they gave it much consideration? People say things like: "Oh, you make so much money. What do you need any more for?" Well, actually, *****, I never asked for your opinion. I'll let you know when I have enough money. -Gene Simmons |

No, you haven't stopped to think about what this means for null sec. AFAIK customs offices can be popped by anyone sov or no sov. Prepare to lose all your POS fuel to your enemies via raids. |

Customs Offices do reinforce. If you can hold a POS, you should be able to hold a Customs Office. And if you can't hold a POS... well, you shouldn't be stockpiling your PI goo in the Customs Office, anyways. |

But holding a POS is different. A POS has guns and thus is (fairly) immune to small ships. And a system with sov has cyno jammers, so there will be no big ships until the cyno jammer is taken out. That means only one thing to defend in a system. Customs offices have no guns. So unless you're prepared to camp all your customs offices, prepare to run all over null sec responding to attack notifications... |

The fact that the dev who made the blog post about it doesn't seem to have even been aware they were changing it makes me doubt it was thoroughly contemplated. But, I actually think it's a good thing. Driving people out of hi sec and encouraging turf wars in low sec over POCOs are both probably good things. |

All you whiners are idiots. As someone who lives in low sec and has 4 characters with 5-6 planets each, I applaud and welcome these changes. We are going to siege up our new buffed T2 siege module dreads and pop us some customs offices and set up our own.
All you people that think random gankers can take out a POCO are smoking crack. They have 10 million shield hp.
This is the best thing to happen to small alliances. Large alliances won't drop thier newly nerfed supers on low sec POCOs that they don't care about. More PVP is good. This change is good. Us non sov holding corps and alliances now have something to fight over. CEO and Major ShareholderAPEX ConglomerateMaker of Starsi softdrinks and Torped-Os! Cereal http://www.altaholics.blogspot.com

Near as I can tell, my costs will go up n%. As such, my prices will go up to match and I'm in the same profit boat as before.
The only change to my routine is that I'll simply hold off putting my goods on market for a few months till I see just how high the new price will be.
It's no different than real life, you tax a business more, they simply pass their increased costs on to the consumer. In the end, nothing changes for them(me).
If anyone ever looks at you and says, "Hold my beer, watch this,"-á you're probably going to want to pay attention. |

You have never flown in a "raid" have you? 10mil SP that regens at 1000hp/ps that has a reinforce timer that is set up by the owner is a rather large "raid".
Time for you to learn how to play with others me thinks. |
