EVE General Discussion

Your wish list either already exists in some form or has had a public announcement about progress on it made in the last six months.

I also would like to add I want a pony and a new Corvette. You have five minutes. Get moving.

CCP's Russian overlords might have a problem with your suggestions!

Character who are less then 30 days old and in NPC's corps transferring isk or PLEX to other players.

Bad idea. It potentially penalizes legitimate players who are trying to hide their wealth or asset/isk transfers from their Alliance/Corp who require a full access API key to join. I also would imagine that legitimate players need throw-away accounts to sell any ill-gotten goods (i.e. from corp theft, or piracy.) Jita scammers also need throw-away alts, especially for margin trading scams and the "send me X isk and I'll double it back" scammers.

Also, there are people who would just create a whole mess of new accounts and would transfer assets around just to screw with CCP on general principle.

Remove Local - The #1 most effective RMT deterrent. It costs nothing. It's quick. It requires only rewriting one bit from 1 to 0.

And CCP won't do it.

Now, your suggestions cost time and money. Rewrite the client? Tokens? Bah. How much of a chance do you think they will be implemented?

Given that CCP has a no-cost solution but won't implement it, that they won't publish even the more innocuous data on their efforts you're left to ask why? Does CCP really want to get rid of RMT?

There's only one good reason: It's more profitable to support RMT efforts that pay back to CCP to be allowed to do it while combating those that don't instead of getting rid of it all.

The sad thing is I totally agree with you.

There wasn't a mass exodus when supercaps were nerfed and people paid hard money for those.

The funniest part of this Troll is that people take him seriously.

No game has ever controlled RMT, just how much freedom are you willing to give up in order to try and combat it?

And just how much time should CCP invest in this when they have so much trouble bringing actual content to their game? Personally, I'd rather see them invest in making the game work better, and add content, rather that spending all their profits chasing down the lengendary RMTers.....

lol.. you calling me a troll..

first off I never said remove RMT as that is impossible but you can make life hard for them unlike what is happening now where CCP is effectively giving them a free pass.

Let me answer a couple of points you raised..

1. The issue of freedom.

I guessing your talking about an Authentication Token

So what freedom would you have to give up, giving CCP a name and mailing address, the same thing which you have probably given to countless companies.. ohhhh

2. How much time should CCP invest in combating RMT

Lets see, making local in null acting like local in WH.. sure that would take a while considering it already exists.

What else, creating a automated system that monitors transfer of Isk and PLEX from newly created accounts. Considering Eve is essentially a SQL database this should be fairly easy.

The most time consuming issue is that of the client. I am sure most people would like to see a new improved client which is faster, handles updates better and much more secure.

As for CCP spending their profits, you do realise that RMT reduces CCP right. You do realise that most RMT merchants use stolen credit card information to purchase PLEX from 3rd party sites yeah..

Also people spending RL money on buying BPO's and Ships such as Titans also effect CCP profits?

I have to admit that when ever anybody talks about not doing anything that would hamper RMT it makes me suspicious.

Most RMT comes from tech moons
