Its the taking away of the larger profits that would change something. You just said you wouldnt want to cater to those people.
But I also don't believe that it's fair to nerf the whole faction because some people don't integrate themselves into the RP properly.
Don't balance the majority for the minority. Furthermore, don't strip them off their ability to stand balanced with other factions out there.

I'm not saying Junker players shouldn't be friendly to newer people willing to take up and play the faction, I'm saying that it's wrong to 'balance' the faction as a whole via dev input in order to specifically cater newbies.
At the core my belief is that asking people to balance themselves, while leaving loopholes for trusted people "who deserve better" to avoid balancing themselves, just doesnt work, and only leads to bickering, mistrust, and unfairness.
Trying to do it that way didnt work in PvP, it didnt work with caps, it didnt work with tech permissions, it didnt work with mining.
I also believe that all (open) factions should not be balanced to be equivalent in terms of money or in terms of military power. Rogues shouldnt have caps that can compete with LN caps, junkers shouldnt be as rich as corporations. It dont make sense in RP. Instead, they should each have their separate specialized advantages which makes sense IRP. For junkers, that should be to make money from pretty much nothing. FOr corporations, it should be turning their existing capital into huge profits unrivaled by anything else (especially junk collecting).
