It's a change meant to encourage people to join a player corporation and ofcourse concord needs to pay wages to their pilots on a regular basis
Oh we came to 11% after researching what the average tax was in player corporations, the NPC tax is a little bit above that average.
I am not so sure this will have the intended effect, at least not without other changes.
One of the main reasons that myself and many other players stay in NPC corps is that we simply get tired of being wardecced by high sec griefer/pirate wannabes. I suspect the main effect this will have is a shift away from missions to mining, not a shift in population to player corps.
Only time will tell what will really happen, but I am a great believer in the Law of Unintended Consequences. The Cariest of CareBears |

People will just make 1 man corps...
atleast we can war dec them that way :S
and war dec costs should go down by A LOT
No, wardec costs should go UP, a LOT.
Make wardec costs inverserly proportional to the member count of each corp. If a 500 member corp wardecs a 1 man corp, it costs them 500 million. If a 50 man corp wardecs another 50 man corp it costs them 50K.
That would also encourage those inflated member-count corps to finally purge all those members that have not logged on since July 2003. The Cariest of CareBears |

Not sure if CCP and a lot of players are missing the real problems or are in denial.
The tax will have very little effect either way. The problem is not that you need a bigger stick, but a bigger carrot. There simply are not many advantages in most cases to joining a player corp. Nor is it really viable for solo or a small corp to leave high sec.
I (with various alts) have been in a couple dozen small player corps. Every single one of them broke up, some in days, some in months - but they all disappeared.
Once beyond the initial discovery phase, people more and more tend to log in only to check skill training. I have been in corps with over 200 people where less than 5 people were on during prime time.
About 1/3 of the corps I was in broke up primarily because they got wardecced by some corp with 5x as many members and 10x better equipment.
There are private corps where I can join up temporarily to get a jump clone. There are corps where I can rent manufacturing and research slots. There is basically no good reason for me to start or join a corp, and some tax is not going to change that. If the tax gets too high such as the 30% that some here want, I will not join a player corp, I will simply quit. The Cariest of CareBears |
