Does anyone know if these tax increases have already gone into effect? The announcement should have given a specific start date for said increases, and the announcement should have been made in advance (a week would be sufficient) for people to make modifications to their planned and current market orders.
Just for npc stations. It’s going back to how it was. If you want the best deals go to the TTT rather than jita IV 4. This is how it was supposed to work. As a way to reduce the amount of isk in game ccp temporally removed the incentive for trading in player structures. That incentive is now being returned.
Why is CCP’s philosophy on increasing activity always to horrifically complicate or nerf the crap out of game activities rather than incentivize? The scary daily player count trend reveals the long-term results of this approach, so why do they continue to approach it this way?
Because @CCP_Rattati 's design philosophy is that the players need to be punished and not rewarded.
He also claims that all the players who quit because of his 2 year nerf crusade are all going to come back whenever he decides to stop making the game worse.
I think at this point they have realized that there are a certain subset of players that will stick around no matter how awful they are treated just because they have invested so much time in EVE.
CCP is just really lucky that Star Citizen is vaporware because if it was an actual functioning game, I would guess a significant number of the player base would just go play that instead.
