WHY WHY WHY WHY ???? is it just because "well a single rate would be simpler." or is it because adding a second tax rate variable would be a technical challenge? Eve players have been asking for greater control over corporation tax mechanics for years and years, particularly the ability to tax different activities at different rates. Here we've got two completely different activities, generating two different currencies, where the tax proceeds go into two completely different wallets and cannot even be exchanged... What possible justification is there to make the tax rates a single rate?
I've also got to agree with this, but for a completely different reason.
There was a point in time when I had my dust merc in an EVE corp, so I could keep track of my friends while my EVE computer was in disrepair and waiting for parts.
I was the only duster in the corp, and there was... I think a 4.5% tax?
If I were in the same situation AFTER the changes... it would be essentially 4.5% of the isk goes down the toilet. Since dust isk can only be used by dust mercs, and it goes in the hidden eighth wallet division, where the eve CEO can't use it.
This is a terrible idea, and will discourage mercs and capsuleers from joining the same corporation. We want more integration, not less.

This gives you, the lone merc in that EVE corp, a reason to talk to your EVE CEO about growing the DUST side of the corp. This gives your EVE CEO a reason to interact with you and pay attention to your needs. It gives you a reason to find more bros to join that corp so the corp as a whole will get more awesome because you mercs went out together and killed all the things. Reputation can mean a lot in EVE, so that gives your EVE CEO a reason to think about engaging in DUST-related activities and that DUST mercs are worthwhile. It gives you a reason to earn trust and prove yourself a team player to that EVE CEO. If you're not an asshat, maybe, just maybe, you'll be made a Director, which will give you access to that eighth wallet so you can do things with it.
Sounds like more integration to me.
Let's see, as a dust merc who's a director in a hisec eve corp, I could actually do some SERIOUS damage to the EVE side, and there's not much I could do to benefit the corp.
Further, my eve toon had specific roles, and wasn't a director, why should my dust char be?
Giving directorship in an eve corp is.... BIG.
And what activities are there that they could do to... at ALL interact with me besides chat? Seeing as I am neither capable of PC, or interested in it at the moment, and that the corp isn't a FW corp, NOTHING.
It's not like I can ask for orca support when shining flashlights on rocks. All I was in for was to be able to keep up with friends, and that worked flawlessly. I'd have to re-consider if there were a tax blackhole. |
