This is exactly why I refuse to join a corp and I play for the default corp given to players when they first start the game. I mean, really taxes, confusing red tape, corporate backstabbing, and politics become too much. Perhaps it is great for eve, but Dust is a shooter game. Perhaps if people want to become so involved in such things they should run for office in real life. Gamers/Shooters, just want to capture objectives and kill hostiles. This is where Dust fails and looses its player base. I have over a million wp, 10's of millions of isk, and 15K confirmed kills. I play to be social w/ my friends and hope that the game continues, I dislike being questioned about my corp status by squad members who are new in meeting me, but its ok. I play for fun my way w/ my friends and I leave taxes, red tape, and corp decisions for those who want to be politicians. I'll just shoot red dots, cap objectives, and put all isk gained into my own pocket. If my friends need it i'll give it, but i'll not be forced to pay for someone else's suits, ships, or conquests. |

You could make a corp for you and your friends... don't have to do anything special and it gives a private chat for just you guys...
Also to the question, not all of us want to be mercs, some fancy being something more...
Why would I burn precious sp's or spend time creating an alt that I would rarely play just to carry a corp tag and have a "corp chat"? All that we need is what we have a private chat channel.
And what's so great about a corp that would strike my fancy and make me "something more"? It's the things I don't have by not belonging to a corp that make things less complicated, less stressful, and better. I'm not forced to play w/ corp mates when I don't want to, I don't have to pay taxes, I don't have to listen to corp bickering, I can play in any PC battle I get picked up for them w/o worriyng about alliances or factions, and the same goes for contract warfare. So if I'm supposed to fancy "being something more" like most of the other sheep by contributing in the purchase of everyone else's suits, weapons, mods, ships, and clones i'll pass. I think by saying "something more" you mean being a fictional politician and a slave to a corp. I'd rather be a merc who thinks on his own and does more.

I'd be happy to explain to you how to create a private chat channel w/o being in a corp. Just press select, tab down to create/join channel, name your channel, set a password, invite your friends and walla you're done.

So if I'm supposed to fancy "being something more" like most of the other sheep by contributing taxes to pay for protection to squad w/ others (who often don't respond), contributing to the purchase of everyone else's suits, weapons, mods, ships, and clones i'll pass. I think by saying "something more" you mean being something more as sheep; politicians and slaves to a corp. I'd rather be a merc who thinks on his own and does more.
Also, I didn't expect a reply to my question. Hence the words "tongue and cheek" |

I'll continue to play though it's free and hope it gets better. 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.
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 |
