We are getting back to work and this is high time to evaluate how the Player Owned Customs Office feature worked out and potentially address any rough edges. Needless to say, we have been monitoring the developments for any major issues, and several defects were fixed during the past month. With this thread we want to collect your impressions and learn how you are using the feature and how you believe it has impacted EVE.
Here are a few questions if you need help to get started. Please remember that constructive feedback is more likely to lead anywhere.
1. Is there anything related to the Customs Office feature or PI taxes that you think is broken or terrible?
2. Do you think the amount of PvP engagements has changed in EVE as a result of this feature?
3. Do you think the feature has created new opportunities for small to mid-sized corporations?
4. Do you think PI has become more or less relevant in EVE?
5. Do you have any awesome story related to a Player Owned Customs Office?
Best regards CCP Omen
First and foremost, I would like to thank you guys for all the hardwork you've been doing in PI, I'm running 50 planets so I'm not exdactly thrilled everytime you guys come out with a change that forces me to rethink or even re-do my planets and I do grumble but after that shakeout, I do appreciate the direction you are trying to go with it.
1. My alliance assumed all ownereship of all poco's in the sov and set the rate at 15%, which actually I'm ok with, I have a serious problem with CCP at the fact that the charigng point is a static rate pulled out of the air when prices were up because people were stock piling. It would really be nice if that tax rate was recalculated on the first of each month or something based on a resample snap shot.
The problem with this is even within any corporation or alliance, you'll never get someone to go around and re-adjust things. The reason why (a) greed; (b) lazy; (c) PI to them is one step below mining. If you floated the tax rate against a weighted market average rather than a static grab, none of us would be so pissed about the fact that you forced socialist mechanisms of failed economies into the game. You only made big alliances richer with the tax rates and stuck it to the guys who do all the work.
2. No
3. Allliances are loving CCP for this, as the greedy @sshats who usually only login to stuff thier pockets and log out, they thank you. What is this corp profit you speak of? You know all the alliances are calling POCO ownership the new techmoon income.
4. More now that the Big Alliances are taking it all over in Null Sec. You guys really thought this would benefit small corporations? LOL you didn't factor in an inherent trait of eve, greedy RMT stuffing pocket alliances leaderships leeching on to one more revenue stream they can convert to real currency. All alliance learders are dirty, plain and simple. Expect more honesty from a User Card Dealership when you plan your next move.
5. Thought it was funny warping around a fleet of 5 supers and 3 carriers swapping out POCO's, seemed like a good use of time lol.
