Personally for me its just a matter of principle. Its not like CCP is nerfing my torpedos or how fast my hurricane flies anymore. They are now actually nerfing where people live in the game. <-- That is a big deal.
There is another game that tried this very same idea of telling people how to start playing their game and managing their character. I wont give the name since I've noticed in the past CCP doesnt appreciate other mmos being mentioned, but the initials are SWG. They pushed and pushed to mold players the way they want to the breaking point. They went from being in the top 90% of mmos to the mid 70% range now in popularity. People don't pay subscriptions for games they stop playing.
Im not saying this tax increase will make people quit, but its little things like this that add up over time that make people stop and say "Why am I paying you again? I thought I had freedom to do whatever I wanted."
Like with other things ccp has tried in the past, this tax increase wont get their desired affect. They say its encouragement, some of us say its punishment. Either way the isk isnt a big deal, its still about the principle.

CCP here is a better idea to the tax one your brainstorm team thought of.
Let the NPC corps wardec each other. That way they are playing with and doing combat with people around their own skill level. This would be a more effective way to encourage people to join a player corp.
As for people of my age in the npc corp, it will give us a chance to legally wipe out isk-farming / isk-selling hulks.
There, two birds killed with one antimatter charge.

Originally by: CCP Soundwave I'll put a devblog up on this next week
Oh good a devblog. I'll be interested in seeing how you justify punishing NPC corp members.
I mean wow... For my 11% do I actually get any added benefits? Or am I stuck with the same old "Know-it-all-Alt that comes in to harrass npc corp members about why they aren't in a player corp" perk?
CCP is going to become as twisted as SOE.. I can see it.

Originally by: Flex Nebura Edited by: Flex Nebura on 20/09/2009 02:46:51 Clearly most people have no idea how much they are really going to pay in taxes. You wont hardly notice its missing. out of about 30 missions you would be missing out on the bounties of 1 of them. Not that much different than if you got a drone mission. or a courier mission that paid next to nothing anyway... Although some the drone missions do pay damn well once you refine the alloys.
Miners wont notice unless they are mining in low or null sec and are able to kill the cruisers or above that spawn there.
Also another boon of being in a player corp is being able to tractor your corp mates loot cans even if they've gone to get another mission in another system.
Oh and you dont get concordokenned for accidently attacking a gangmember from your corp.
Its not about the isk, its about the principle of the matter. People don't like to be told what to do or how to play the game. Player corp people don't need a nudge, what they need is to be allowed to make their own decision on where they want to be and how they want to go about doing it.
Im seeing constant whining from player corpers about how the tax should be more or is long over due. Wow cool.. Pay my subsription and then I'll play the game the way you want.

CONCORD should be removed in deadspace. I don't like being told that I can't warp into hisec missions and blow up missionrunners. WHy can't I play the game my way?
If you think you can beat me, you are always more than welcome to warp into my missions in lowsec. Just because I and others are in an npc corp never ever meant that we stayed in highsec.
