LP is not taxed. if it was, then tables would be flipped.
I'm certainly not down with taxing LP... HOWEVER, having a corp build up standing with a faction is a nifty idea. You could set it up so that the higher standing your corp the individuals get a slight bump of LP in FW matches. Hmmm. |

Incentivizing activity with positive effects is WAY more effective than putting constraints on activities you don't want.
If we want a deeper EVE link (particularly with no economic link to EVE yet) then FW is the way we are doing this...you want more guys hitting FW matches, gaining and spending LPs, which in turn drives them to pub matches to get ISK to fund FW.
Individuals get standings, then so should Corps and the trick is to make the standings mean something but not totally subsume the concept of the mercenary - fighting for the highest bidder OR ideals/faction of your choosing.

^This. Then the members of corps who are dedicated to one faction will get an extra bonus.... I like. Point of note: what about EVE corps that already have FW standings? Wow, while that is ok, I fear for the corps that got formed by people supporting opposing factions. As long as corp standings don't counter personal ones this is ok. But if corp standings affect personal ones negatively, then a lot of players are gonna get screwed...
I've thought of this since I'm actually one of those guys you are referring to. My toon is gallente, purely by accident during character creation, but I game identify with Caldari and run pure caldari set ups (Rail Rifle - Woot!!). OSG and Covert Intervention are serious Gallente FW players in Dust and EVE...we NEVER go with out OB support. This puts me in the postion of really not being able to take advantage of the LP store to the fullest.
My solution to that is to make contacts with Caldari and Amarr FW players and we work out trade agreements that we can fulfill when the player trading system drops in the next couple months. I'll probably not spend a lot of LPs till that happens and when it does I will work deals such as 50x Federation Specialist ARs from the Gallente store and trade them for 50x State Specialist RRs. |
