Assembly Hall

Hello All

So what I am proposing is to REDUCE the employment history list to the last year only. To be honest most people are only interested in what you have been doing in the past year, infact possibly less. And most people are really only interested in your profile, first, if they think your a possible spy or fought for an hostile group and maybe if you have any epeen corps you been in.

Even if you have been fighting for an hostile group as long as you are not with them in the past 3 months people are still usually OK with that. But im choosing a year as this gives a decent timespan to look back on

Beyond that I dont see any need for it in all seriousness, unless your the 1% of the population that are really a bit over the top.

Employment history can be long for people who have played for sometime, and with the NPC corps in there as well, it can get quite long. Also people buy and sell chars so to be honest you might not be even speaking with the original owner(s)

Reducing this will tidy up the UI, reduce lag and server performance having to load up the list, especially if its long ( i mean how many times in 1 day must thousands of employment lists get looked at)

**Edit**

Due to some feedback, the proposal has changed so that there is an option within the UI or options panel thats allows the full history to be shown. Initially it will show a limited history to everyone (6-12 months), but incase people want to see your full history this can be switched on, when necessary.

And if you dont support it, at least give a good reason rather than - cos i want to.....because you can still see all history if needed

Thanks

I think its states in the proposal that through the api key you can see this. I really do wish people would read the WHOLE thing, before seeing red and replying. Awkward for awkward sake perhaps?

I think a better option (and a compromise) is to load the last year's worth upon clicking the tab, but having a button you can press within the show info screen that loads *all* of their corp history.

No need to parse through an API download, or anything like that - just an extra click.

Why would you look at someones corp history way back when? Why does anything past 6 months for that matter really make a difference. I mean look at the standings removal CCP did, I think thats just as integral to the game than seeing corp history.

Its like a CV, no employer gives a damn what you did 2 years agom infact most check your last and previous and thats usually it. Even references dont have to be given after a certain period, because you could be a different type of person than to when someone knew you. Having to see someones history is just irrelevant and shows no purpose at all, especially as stated people buy and sell chars all the time. And if you really must know it, your really just being nosey which doesnt warrant it being in game.

I say no to this also.

Yes, having done Recruitment before I can say that six months is actually too small of a time frame to determine if you are a corp theft or spy. In fact, the ONLY reason why you'd want this changed would be to improve your spy or corp thief's useability. There is no lag issue involved with this.

So, how come the OP didn't answer the question why he was using an alt to post this in the Assembly Hall?

You could show the past 6-12 months and have a "show full history" button which would load the complete corp history if needed.

Edit your proposal as such and ill support it.

I look at the very first employment history to guage and dudge the skill level of a player before pvp happens.

I dont care for the employment history- just the Date Of Birth technically.

Happy to support this..Theres no need for all the history, personally i just look back at the last few corps.
