When will we be able to bid on or purhcase items that are out of our region using the contract system?! This one issue is what perpetuates the 'Jita syndrome'. Not only do we need to be able to do global searches, but we need to be able to purchase an item from anywhere using the contract system.
What say you?

Edited by: Crumplecorn on 18/03/2007 21:47:45 I would say that being able to bid on a Jita auction from anywhere would perpetuate 'Jita syndrome' more than the auctions being restricted to people actually willing to go there to bid. -
If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider. Put that all the way over to the easiest setting and you'll be fine. |

Interregional search, but not bid (apparently, not sure).
So you can see all the cheap faction gear in the whole contract system, but you can't singlehandedly camp it and grab all the good stuff immediatly, there is some work involved.
Horrific. -

The main reason that Jita is the way that it is is due to the fact that you have to physically be in the region to bid on an auction or purchase an item.
Global searches won't help much if you have to travel there every time to simply bid on it. FFS. You still have to travel to pick it up. The old escrow system allowed users to BUY stuff remotely, and then go pick it up. Major MAJOR loss of functionality.

It's the picking up of items that creates the Jita-syndrome, not whether you can bid on them out of region. Do you forget that the Jita-syndrome existed when we had Escrow? ----------------------------------------------------

It existed but it wasn't that bad. Now it's worse than ever. It's not the picking, because now it's even easier with jump to zero. It's the fact that you can't leave the region if you have bids, the fact that you can't go and do your stuff in 0.0 or anywhere else undisturbed...

No, no, totally wrong. The reason "Jita" existed like it did before contracts is due to the gate connections, the fact that it was in the middle of Caldari space (die scumbag mission wh@res) and the fact that ESCROW ONLY DISPLAYED THE FIRST THOUSAND CLOSEST ESCROWS. This means that if you're out in the middle of nowhere, you're not going to see the latest and greatest escrows available for that day/week etc.
Even more so, you can search by station or system or region or global w/ the old system, and there were so many escrows created per day, you'd only be able to see at most the last 24 hours worth. This means that you had to have an alt in 4-4 Navy in order to be able to sort by station/system/region in order to see the best/latest escrows.
The old system didn't give you much in the way of tools for doing anything regarding searches etc. That is what made Jita like it is.
The current system only reinforces these problems. If we were allowed to bid/buy remotely, anywhere in the galaxy, we'd only need to visit a location to do one thing: pick up the parts. This would remove the requirement of having to have a character permanently placed in the region in order to keep up on bidding etc. while we have active auctions going.
What happens if I have a live auction in Tash and another in Forge? If one needs re-bidding, I have to fly 20+ jumps just to get it sorted. Screw that.

So no one thinks that we should be able to bid/purchase from anywhere in Eve using contracts?
