Eve is getting prohibitively expensive for the average player. Abbadons have gone up by 100 million in the last year...not to mention plex prices going up 40%ish. Your argument is rediculous. Why not make it 11% like when u belong to a npc corp. Ccp is killing itself. I do remember that moronic apology from the ccp ceo...start listening to the players...the average guys...not the titan owners...geez. I love eve...but i think the interests of the average player is not a priority for ccp. How many companies have died because they think they know best...and dont listen to their customers. I have no problem producing billions through pi and escrow trade etc...but not everyone is as self reliant as me.

I do pi and im getting gouged by an npc corp. 17% is rediculous. Pi is a turnoff if u have to have several tens of mills for a few transfers. People producing p4's like myself have spent huge amounts of isk on these taxes that just dissapear. These components are needed in eve....prices of everything in eve is sky rocketting. Do i want to put up with the drama of player owned custom offices? No way. The new dust game will b adversely affected by this im sure. Fyi ccp: people who play spaceship mmo's arent looking for an fps...what were u thinking?!! and only 1 platform??!!!??? I dont have a ps3 and dont plan on getting one. REDUCE npc custom offices tax or i imagine no one will care to do pi except those who own their own customs offices and this is restrictive to the average solo player. And then dust will fail.

I have no idea who you are...ive war decced hundreds in my time. Many remember me...but i have too many fans to remember you all. I always fought outnumbered...its what i do. If i bent you over a gate or station in the past...i apologize...sorta...but it was fun at the time lol.

So let me get this straight. You are some kind of uber bad ass master blaster type fellow. But can't blow up a Interbus Customs Office and put up your own?

Reallly?????

Doing that involves going into lowsec. There are scarry piwates out there.

Um..all my 25 planets are in low sec. I would rather just not schmooze with the locals....hence why i like the npc customs offices...reduce the tax...make it more viable for people who play solo. And yes i am uber pwn with awesome sauce...dont forget it

Because i'm inherently lazy.

We could possibly make them standings based.

I like this, for a 10.0 standings make the tax rate like 10%, 0.0 like 25% below 0.0 stands they wont let you...

Im just making up numbers here also so vote the idea, not the numbers

duh..proper english? This is not preschool. I learned my english good. If you cant understand sentences that are not properly paragraphed, then u need more schooling..not i. Plkease stick to the point of the thread and dont whine about proper grammar. Like seriously...

Isk sink? Your argument holds no water.....i have 20 planets devoted to one p4...each planet producing a p2 i require wioth the final planet being a p3 to p4 planet. The transfers are expensive, im still making bills a month...with another simpler p4 in production on 5 planets...im paying lots of tax. This should be reduced as the isk just vaporizes being 'taxed' by an npc corp. With a projected profit of 2.5-3 bill/ 28 days... depending on how lazy i am,17% of that goes into an abyss for no ones benefit.
I dont really care if people have thought of this before, it should be reduced. 11% would be more fair, or the standings based thing mentioned earlier.
Generating isk is what i do. Escrow trading is a lot easier and more isk. but i wanted a challenge and to learn to do the pi stuff..which i have
Hit me grammar pohlice.

This is hilarious.

While you're at it, ccp can i please have an erebus? Its so unfair that people have put in effort to get what they want, and I'm too lazy to put in any effort.

You think managing 25 planets with a 2 day extractor cycle is lazy?

Because i'm inherently lazy.

POCOs should be introduced to high sec, and subject to war decs. Allow players to set what ever price they want.

Form a small group of corps to dominate a system, if one of you gets war deced, all join in and fight on the side of the defender. Expand your POCO empire, crush all competition.

One size fits all solutions, from governments, or developers, are always wrong when it comes to pricing. Let the players handle it.

EM are big-time haters since i taught them how to pvp.
If i put up a customs office it would probly last 5 minutes!!!!

To what end?

Hisec planets are crap.

Do i want to put up with the drama of player owned custom offices? No way.

Ok. Maybe what im trying to do is reduce this isk sink...which isnt necessary. I sink my isk into ships and stuff. You are right..if one of the big producers of high end ships/mods stopped....eve"s market may crash. Right now im dependent on their moods. I was in a class 5 wh yesterday checking it out. The concentrations on the planets was stupendous...compared to my low sec planets. But then i thought of the logistical nightmare as i work full time...have a family...and a bunch of fluffy maine coons to take care of. Not to mention the pi is part of my passive isk generation. I prefer pvp.
If you're a professor of economics...go teach a class or something.

I listen to all..I just discount the useless. I dont have time to manage a customs office network. And quite honestly...i think im so liked in this game that any customs office i put up would be under siege in under 10 mins. Im still making multiple billions per month...maybe i shouldnt try to help my noob brothers and sisters. For them you should lower the taxes so they dont get turned off the game and try....maybe another game? i wanna see eve explode with numbers....so i can sell them everything
they need.
I remember climbing the isk mountain to the top, missions and mining doesnt cut it. There was some mention made about a reward for work ratio. Ive made tens of billions off escrow trading in the last few yrs...and that requires about 5-10 mins of dedication per day. You just have to know how to make isk. The interbus pi tax is too high and should be lowered for those of us who dont have the time for those things or to build in-game relationships with customs office owners
I do however remember a fitting quote : "The world needs ditch diggers son."
So..the big guys can mine their rarity 64 moon goo and prime arkonor....whereas the smaller "ditch-diggers" get their veldspar and low paying missions. Class system maybe
Incursions are just a cheap tack-on where i have to rely on others to make mediocre isk..please dont bring them up lol.

I really don't get the idea of making everything standings based.

For one, it would undermine the point of POCOs. More importantly, I'm not sure mission grinding needs to be -more- present in game.

Slight troll there, there is no IB station you can go to thus no IB agents to grind with.

Assumption about the rarity moon materials...i had a rarity 16 reaction and it was a great payoff. But i dont have a fleet of caps...so some ushra kahn fails came in and asked me to leave. I left, but not before taking out all assets and turning my 2 pos's into (fail) deathstars. Theyre still scared. I enjoyed moon mining....i might not have added YOUR killmail to my killboard had ushra fail left me be. Live and learn i guess lol.

I recommend visiting low sec and getting your pi there. You may also look for PC owned PI it may be more valuable for you .
