As some of you have noticed, NPC corporations on Singularity are now being taxed at 11%.
Now this is both a welcome, and somewhat not so welcome change. I can understand why CCP did it. They outlined some of it in the dev blog posting. I won't refute what's in there, as it's all very logical. Still, I'll wager a little more was involved in it. Let me explain.
A couple types of people are in the newbie corps. Newbies of course, and that's their stated purpose. The second is the player "between" player corps, it happens. The third is the player that wants to avoid all war decs, understandable, but not really their purpose. The final would be the ISK macro resellers, revolting. The hue and cry from the PvP community was palpable on the third group to raging, (especially the fourth group) as they viewed it as "cheap." We'll forgo the fact that oftentimes PvP "tactics" are themselves "cheap."
The PvP'ers were right. Here is the CCP response. I don't know if it goes far enough, it certainly won't for the PvP people. I think it's a good starting point though. The lighthearted jokes about taxes in the devblog post are, for the most part, spot on. Gotta fund those stations folks...
I'll give it some more thought, but it probably can be improved more yet.
