Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Since CCP does not view the skill as an exploit and will not remove it.
I have a proposition to add a game feature to meet in the middle ground.

We already have the standing feature. Where we can adjust players standings.

What I propose is creating a Commerce Standing.
Where players who regularly buy and sell contracts, can rate the business transaction.

Much like in real life, where people offer reviews on products and businesses.
Citing past transactions as a basis for their opinions.


This will allow people to rate if they were 'satisfied' with their purchase.

Reviewing poor scores on players, will help players know not to trust certain merchants.


Would you get your car fixed at a garage where the cars leave in worse shape then they arrived?
Would you buy food at a restaurant where 9/10 customers got food poisoning?
Would you send your children to a school where only 1 in 1000 graduates can read or write?
etc...

Consumer reviews are a valuable tool in real life. And could be an ideal feature in EVE aswell.

Does no one realize that you can pull off a successful margin trading scam without using the minimum quantity?

... shakes head in disappointment...
