Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Ok, since lately it would appear CCP is actually making game better, to give it another go since old topic went haywire without any input from any of the devs

So proposal

2 Wallet divisions for players.

Active division and Savings division or call it whatever.
Why?
Because I don't want to overpay a kill right (you know the ones where it is 10 mill and next one is 1 bill), mistype a market order, etc. So idea is you keep one sum on your active wallet division and you can move the rest on your other wallet division, so pretty much same as the corp wallets division.

So people have several options
1. Make and alt you rarely use and name him "Wallet Division CCP still didn't make"
Pros - Does the job of keeping your ISK safe
Cons - You need to relog him every time you want to do something with larger sum of ISK and chances are you will have to log out one of the already logged in toon since you aren't going to keep seperate account just for this.

2. Use you corporate wallet
Pros - Does the job of keeping your ISK safe UNLESS you have other people in corp with wallet access

3. Buy plex and keep your money as plex, and when you need liquid cash just sell it right away
Pros - You won't run out of game time soon
Cons - You might lose value in ISK, but doubtful...


Possible extend on this idea would be that 2nd division of wallet could be linkable with your alts 2nd divisions, so by default all toons have 2 divisions, active and secondary, but you can choose to share secondary across some or all of your alts

Many views, few likes, nobody is saying it's terrible idea, so lets bump it up for trolls to catch up with topic :D

Also, maybe another suggestion, you need to have an skill or standings with example gorun investment bank (the npc corp, what ever its called) and pay like 10 mill per month to maintain account would add story dimension to it?

so hard to read how many " , " are in the price?

Another little thing would be....different currency for each race. Isn't it kind if odd and conspiratorial that only one type of currency would be present in New Eden even though there are four distinct races? Think of each race as a different continent on Earth. America uses the dollar, the Brits the Pound, the French the franc and so forth.

Each has its own value when compared to the other with the home countries money being of the highest value.

Each race would have its own currency allowing trading to take place with money based on stocks and bonds for the money transfer markets.

For example you have 1000 Gallente Talents. In Minmatar space they would have a value of actually being 850 talents, in Amarr space the value would be 750 talents and in Caldari space the value would be 550 talents.

Each race would have a floating value system that would constanty change so that a money transfer system would take place along with keeping the environment exciting as pilots rushed from system to system with cargo containers full of monies looking to transfer it.

Any more opinions?

Sure, sounds good to me. I don't see why "harsh and unforgiving" should translate to "woops you typed an extra zero there goes your last month's savings". It would certainly rile up scammers though.

0 reasons not to do this

Why do you want to nerf scamming? Scamming is profession in EvE and it's quite nerfed (and now with MT removal possibility)... If you need it that bad, made 1 man corp?

I think it's a sensible idea with no drawbacks.

Personally I use option 2) and use the corporate wallet for all trading activities.

You could also have a 'character specific' wallet, and a reserve wallet common to the account and useable by any character on that account, to also save messy transfers or the corp wallet exploit.

That's subtlety different.

I was thinking simply of a CCP feature 'behind the scenes' of a 'wallet' which is linked to the subscription account, which can be used by all the characters on that account.

A NPC 'bank' account in-game, which is usable by all of your ALTs is a very different mechanic. How might this work?

Hypothetically I could offer you and your ALTs a banking service with my corp by giving you a wallet exclusively for your use (which I can also access because of the way the corporation mechanisms work), but could be a free service as a player-owned bank that you trusted would not need office space and wouldn't need to charge. The entry costs for incorporation are piddling low. But there is a restriction of only 7 wallet divisions, so a maximum of 7 customers. You wouldn't trust a PC banking service with all of your ISK; you might with a small amount for sharing with all of your ALTs, but the amounts would be too low to really make it work. Also the corp owner would have to know your identity and the identity of all of your ALTs disclosed and using the service. And they'd have to be members of the corp or it wouldn't work.

From what I've read there have been discussions about player-owned banking services to provide loans in exchange for interest, and I like the idea in theory, but trust in EVE being what it is...
