Varius Xeral wrote:Hey, at least a few people get it.
I would support, or at the very least have no objections to, compiling a reasonable and thoughtful list of "hey, here's a few things that would make market play much better for everyone if you guys have the time/opportunity".
Instead it will be a bunch of internet spaceships banks and stock markets bs, that represents fundamental changes to the character of the game and a ridiculous effort to impact ratio.
Edit: despite the best intentions of the OP. Absolutely.
As it stands, other than the things that CCP have already picked out as priorities, there is nothing in the market element of EVE that even gets close to being a priority for developer attention. Sure, if they get time I'd love for them to fix some bugs, improve some UI and iterate some undeveloped functionality... but that's pretty much the best we have to give them.
The market is still one of EVE's selling points, it's still fairly healthy (for an MMO), it's still fairly interesting and there are still many possibilities yet to be explored. By contrast there are core areas of EVE that urgently need a lot of work done on them. CCP also needs to keep a close eye on attracting new players. Adding some bells and whistles to the market would just be a distraction from what CCP needs to do.

Not to mention having to re-do it if you run into the possible bugs that have yet to be fixed for years :P The corp management system and UI is just sad. Non intuitive, over complicated, ambiguous descriptions, etc. It needs to be be dragged out into a back alley and shot. A complete overhaul of the corp management and voting system is needed and has been needed since 2003. I've been asking and praying for this since 2003, so I won't hold my breath. I feel your pain brother!
But the answer to the first question from the vast majority of the playerbase is going to be "No". Most EVE players will never use the disaster that is a BPO lockdown, only a few more will use the back alley abortion that is the corp management interface. So, while it causes you, I and a handful of others great pain and anguish... we have to accept it as what comes from being niche players pushing niche functionality. |

The primary issue that prevents us having a working stockmarket is that the players have not created a great many entities that anyone would want to own shares in. It doesn't matter that the market for trading them is primitive when the item itself barely exists.
I can think of maybe a dozen currently trade-worthy shares in EVE and those are already traded perfectly well with the current infrastructure.
Maybe some better infrastructure would spur more people to build public businesses, but I personally think it's up to community members to put more work in to making this happen.
If you want it, build it. It makes a lot more sense than sitting around waiting for CCP to hand you a packaged product for your nieche gamestyle. |

Caleb Ayrania wrote:(at Bad Booby)
A consequence mechanic with bounty and killrights would be EVE equivalent to that.
Also a personal oriented Vendetta system might be useful. A bit like wardecs but on a personal level. When a Vendetta is issued the corp level is given the option to "defend" join the miniwar so to speak. So individuals could declare war on corporations and alliances without needing to spread it to own corp or alliance. This would bring new activity into war decs and kick the beehives of corporations and alliances. I'd like to point out that you can already put a bounty on me, you can already war dec me and you can already kill my main freely in any location (since I'm -10) so the issue currently isn't that those particular consequences are not available.
Personally, I think this isn't about the lack of consequences because punishing fraudsters after they have already defrauded you is akin to shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. |

5 points: CCP should sell more things for PLEX, like laptops. |
