\*not sure if serious..

the obvious solution is to cap the POCO tax, which should have been done from the start. could be a flat cap, or sliding based on income. to think CCP did not forsee null-sec groups quickly taking over a constant, passive income stream is unreal. this was just another bone thrown to them, and such, will never be changed.

I don’t really have any particular interest in the overall topic but I’d kind of like to see this one happen anyway. Just seems fun.
