Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have removed a couple posts that were borderline troll/off-topic. I will move this thread to Features & Ideas.

or you could just not give any dipshit roles to empty out the corp hangar/wallet like a dribbling mongoloid.

Or don't be an idiot and either have a hedge in place against that with assets stored in the CEO's person and accept any corp asset as something that isn't guarenteed to stick around, or don't give out roles like candy.

There are already plenty of tools ingame to minimize the risk of theft, learn to use them.

Trust is the most valuable commodity in EVE. As such, stupidity and laziness should not be encouraged nor protected.

It´s not about stupidity or lazyness, it´s about logic. Please provide something constructive insted of trolling.



Well, that´s just to much effort when it should be a simple solution.

The reward is allowing your corp members easier access to ships and modules. I.e. you support them, more easily.

Only an idiot gives his corp members full access. But things like Pos, Corp wallet, etc, you know, the things that actually have important stuff/assets, these things already require roles/passwords that need to be handed out in order to access.

The only thing that are easily accessed by all members, and should be, are the corporation hangars, and within that, you should only place things that are expendable. Things that you wouldnt mind being stolen, because you were planning to hand them out, free, to corp members, in the first place.

But if youre talking about giving people more roles, i.e. directorship, PoS password, access to main wallet, etc, If youre not getting any reward, then why give access and grant the role in the first place?

So i suppose i dont really understand why youre asking for this change. You might as well be saying "I trusted a corp mate and gave him full directorship roles, and he robbed me blind, please change this CCP so that the game asks me like 10 times if i really really want to grant him the roles, and then have the game send me a notification every 10 seconds to confirm that I want him to stay as a director."

And even then, its no different than trusting a scammer in Jita with all your assets and isk. Only an idiot or a noob would be unaware of the risks of giving away 500 million isk to someone who claims to double it. And neither should be a corp CEO.

There is many a reward for sharing assets with friends. I have a small group of friends with whom I shared a single wallet. By combining our assets we were able to achieve our goals and we all came out richer from it. However, at any time, I or one of my friends could have skimped off with everyone's isk and saved themselves and effort and made a lot of money.

But none of us took anything, and when we finally split our wallet and went our separate ways we were all richer than we would have been if we had just up and left when we initially combined our worth.

I tell this story for a few reasons. First, if you find people you can trust you can make a lot more money together than you would alone. Second, it's possible to share assets without getting screwed over.

Now, as an eve player who has been subject to corp theft and someone who has shared assets with friends, I am against your idea to make it safe for me to do so. The simple reason being, there is reward for doing so and the risk of losing assets if your trust is misplaced not only creates strong friendships and trust when theft doesn't occur. It also allows me and my friends who don't steal to gain an advantage over those who cannot find trustworthy friends.

More than any of that, eve is dangerous. We all should be at risk of losing our assets at a moments notice. To theft, destruction or our own stupidity. Safety is not something I want to associate with any part of eve.

As a finale aside, if you misplace your trust, you should get your stuff taken from you. Frankly you deserve it, and exploiting another person's trust has long been a tactic in eve. Deceit should be a valid weapon, and trust should be something real in eve, not simply an arbitrary game mechanic that prevents me from stealing from my friends.

Blast and damnation!

I am incredibly tired of all these people who trot out the "sandbox" pony despite not having the faintest idea what the term actually means.

Stop being ... ugh, whatever it is you are. Just stop it. All of you. A "sandbox" is a game environment where the players are given the tools to create their own content and can have, by their actions, an effect on changing and shaping the game world.


If you're somehow intelligent enough to have created a player corporation and somehow intelligent enough to have acquired assets that someone else will want to steal - even just for the lulz - then you're intelligent enough to manage corporate security on your own without CCP needing to implement a billion different systems to cover every single tiny possibility.

If you're concerned that someone isn't trustworthy, don't give them access to corp assets. If you want everyone to work on a contract basis, then do it all via intra-corp contracts. If this is too hard, then become a line member in someone else's corp or drop out to World of Pandacraft.
