I mean, a lot of people are not avid forum readers. This is like saying "Hey kids, go out and play." but when some stranger walks up to them to offer them candy you get enraged and beat them. But you never taught them not to talk to strangers. Not everyone came from eve. Not everyone knows how ridiculously harsh that universe is. So being scammed from a game they're not even familiar with and do not even play but have to abide by the rules just to obtain partial mechanics from is rather harsh. They should have made a dev blog of this tbh.
I agree at least a forum or wiki post should have been put up... and it was... on the EVE forums. (Which should have the DUST forums merged into the EVE forums).
Saying not everyone came from EVE so give them a break is ludicrous. Not my problem. I didn't come from EVE. I came from DUST... I just did the reading a lot better than the other person.
When playing a game... always read the instructions, then go find the rest of the information out there. Internet is a great choice.
And spare me the - "I don't have a computer" statements... if players have enough money for a PS3 and not a computer, they should really take a look at their personal lives and determine what is really important. |

GM Grave wrote:In order to address some concerns within the community regarding DUST characters and their limited ability to manage corporations when compared to EVE characters, we have updated our evelopedia articles to reflect the current mechanics for corporate shares and voting.
Issues
The specific mechanics regarding corporation shares and voting for DUST characters were not published via persistent wiki or blog, and although we did convey information on some of these corporate mechanics during the beta period, this information did not persist onto the new forums, nor was it readily available in game. This inevitably lead to incidents whereby DUST CEO's could find themselves in a position where they are unable to take part in votes for their corporation, to the point where they may even lose their corp via vote when a shareholder decided to replace them.
Policies
Under normal circumstances CCP customer support are unable to intervene in corporate power struggles and other trust/scam related game mechanics, as we have found that it is the best interests of both our players and CCP that we let our players decide the outcome of every event within normal game mechanics. However in this instance we have determined that DUST players were placed at a considerable disadvantage by being unable to fully access corporate management tools while also lacking the information on these complex game mechanics.
To this end we have determined that the best course of action is to publish these mechanics on our wiki along with this forum announcement in order to educate players as to the game mechanics involved so that they may protect themselves accordingly.
So now that this has been posted and the warnings are plain for everyone to see can we get back to our regularly scheduled destruction of corps the old fashioned way without fear of GM interference and steal the shares as before?
Or are we still not able to steal shares from corps lead by DUST514 CEOs? |

Don't worry, The DUST NPC corps will catch up and get the same 11% NPC corp tax in DUST as well. I look forward to seeing your reaction to forming or joining a corp at that point. |

I look forward to seeing your reaction to forming or joining a corp at that point. Actually you're helping me on one of my points, that that the % isk of what dusties make is no where near to the % of isk that Eve players make. My quetions would be where would and how would a dusties 11% tax in an npc corp be used? In any case if the game is still fun for me that far into the future and if they decide to do that, I would then be forced to burn the sp's to make a corps soley for myself, not allowing anyone else in, and I would keep all of my own taxes. I suppose if people are still playing at that point I would have to look at it from the perspective that I'm using 18K in sp's to start a corps for only me. just so over time all of my millions isk gained stays in my own wallet
Actually your response doesnt help you because you are using a percentage which is not relevant to overall value. The amount of ISK an EVE pilot makes is far larger and so is the cost of their ships... which are also bought on a mostly free market economy. The ratio of income to ship costs changes as the class of ship goes up. In effect you would be incorrect because the costs of running a T2 cruiser in EVE vs say standard proto gear in DUST puts the EVE Player in a far more costly position.
The tax from an NPC goes towards nothing... its called an ISK sink and it goes back to CCP. Its all the more reason to join a good corp... and get some fun in. |
