The major corps and alliances have taken over every possible location for custom offices, and for the most part, have raised the taxes to a level that cannot be sustained by individual players.
Again, it seems CCP has created a situation where it forces individual players to either join a huge corporation so that they might enjoy the full range of game play, or the individual player must figure out a novel way to circumvent the current game play architecture in order to enjoy some aspects in the game they currently are not able to under more normal circumstances.
I am sure I am going to once again get a lot of guff from corporations, and those people who enjoy the gang mentality. But honestly, come on. If you don't want individual players, then stop advertising professions for individual players as if you can engage in all the game dynamics by doing so.
The more I feel as if I am being led by the nose, to play within a corporation structure, instead of being able to express myself as an individual, the more I find myself hoping that another game that would be somewhat like EVE, will come along and fill in the major holes and gapes that currently exist with the EVE game structure. I don't care for giant corporations in real life, and certainly do not want to feel forced into being part of one within the EVE structure either, nor do I want to support those corporations via being taxed a ridicules amount just to accumulate planetary resources.
I attempt to use the jetcan method where taxes are high, but the command center's storage is small compared to the launchpad and doing the expedited transfers makes it take much longer than it should anyway.
I didn't really like the player-controlled customs offices because they're super easy to defend - but at the same time, nothing's stopping you from starting a wardec and taking a few for yourself if you have the guns to do it. Pro tip: many nullsec alliances won't bother with highsec wars. Of course, shoot their POCOs and you might be in for some fun.  |
