But it will be passed on to tower owners (both as part of making a tower and as part of the fuel for a tower) and T2 manufacturers (quite a few T2 items use PI components).Letrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433319509081349521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-73225977830479049472011-12-01T05:38:00.892-08:002011-12-01T05:38:00.892-08:00Ditto what Toldain said.

Granted its early in the usual expansion market adjustment phase, but PI product prices have already doubled. They'll most likely settle down to incorporate the new tax costs and consumers will have to pay the increases, i.e. sink hitting those at the high end, where most of the ISK is anyway.Latrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788342809089685009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-9608032982549855732011-11-30T16:23:30.816-08:002011-11-30T16:23:30.816-08:00I'm of the opinion that when the dust settles,...I'm of the opinion that when the dust settles, the higher tax costs will be mostly passed on to the fuel (and capital ship) buyers.<br /><br />Which, in my opinion, is good.Toldainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501926678749747844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-91091666304969332222011-11-30T12:37:17.540-08:002011-11-30T12:37:17.540-08:00I agree that is some serious complaining.

The only issue I have with it going on and on is that I'm not certain how CCP's management is doing at the moment. <br /><br /> It seems clear that PI and POCOs and DUST are a HUGE evolutionary step for EVE. If rolled out as (it appears) planned, then the game will have depth, diversity and complexity beyond any game on the market.<br /><br /> But if CCP are gunshy about carebear popularity and subscription retention I worry they could balk at the whinage. <br /><br /> They need to stick to thier guns here. And people like Letrange, Jack Dant (or whatever his name) PMCHEN (that goon who contributed to the POCO talk) and the rest of us need to contribute counterarguments to the mindless sheeples complaining on the forums. <br /><br /> Keep explaining to them how stupid they are! They need to hear it. Keep the comments reasonable and accurate so we can stay on message. <br /><br /> I'll kick in when I get off work. No direct EVE forumn access. Thank you Chribba for a window to the world.Diametrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909435924414786415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-16352302271547003622011-11-30T12:30:09.700-08:002011-11-30T12:30:09.700-08:00These people are hilarious.
