I love the fact they used 11% as tax rate instead of the standard 10%. 11% for wardec immunity sounds fine to me and it's only a nerf to mission/ratting bounty income anyway, so industry and trade alts are unaffected. |

It was already the best ever with the 0.0 changes... but now this. And the faction ships. And the AF boost. And the supercap changes. There's almost too much awesome in this expansion. I'm approaching critical levels of awesome overload. Be careful, CCP, because this expansion is really going to raise the bar of people's expectations for the next one. Incarna had better be goddamb fantastic. |

Good plan, but how would that work? For every 100 ISK they would have earned, 1 is removed form their wallets?  |

This'll actually not matter all that much for mission runners..... According to my statistics, taxable ISK income from L4 missions is 31% of the total you can earn. The rest comes from LP, loot and salvage. This means that for a mission runner, the 11% will actually be an effective tax of 3.41%. Not really that high a cost for wardec immunity. |

Not entirely true. That assumes that you are looting and salvaging. Many times, believe it or not, you can make more isk/hour without salvaging all together, and only looting choice wrecks when you have time. |

True or not, it's still fodder for teh whiners. So it will prolly matter more than it actually does,if you know what I mean. |

Maybe so, but it will at least strongly incentivise looting and salvaging and LP over the wholly non-competitive pure ISK making component of mission income. This means that the PvP part of mission income is made more attractive. Also, it's counter inflationary (more stuff created, less ISK created). Let the ninja salvage whines begin. |

True... However, even if it goes up to 5% or so effective tax, I still think it is cheap  It'll also change the 'when-is-it-worth-salvaging/looting' equation slightly.... Originally by: Malcanis Maybe so, but it will at least strongly incentivise looting and salvaging and LP over the wholly non-competitive pure ISK making component of mission income.
I think 'strongly' is too big a word.... 'nudge' is probably more apt... Originally by: Malcanis Also, it's counter inflationary (more stuff created, less ISK created).
I don't actually think this is what is needed! Minerals are hitting the artificial 'floor' under mineral prices set by insurance, which indicates that there are in fact too MANY minerals in the game and not enough ISK. Salvage is also going down, though it'll still take a while before we know where it'll settle after the rig changes. |

If tears is what you're looking for, check out GD and Assembly Hall. Plenty of tears there due to recent scanner changes, unless of course pirate tears don't count  . |

Why would you need market alts in one man corps? The tax only applies to mission rewards and bounties. Also, I don't think this idea will be unpopular. More carebears in player corps = more fun
