Assembly Hall

Along with other marketing and financial considerations, there is a big group of EVE players interested in economic development. CSM has seem to have very little interest in pushing for such add-ons that are not very complicated and are already monitored by CCP economist.

Please all people interested put your comments. Those not interested please don't spoil the thread with useless comments, just omit it and be fair with others.


FOOD FOR THOUGHTS....

1. Market Information
I guess this is the first thing I would like to raise as a concern.
We are so posed to be living a futuristic in-game life experience based on the technology designed by CCP but Market Information transparency regarding what is being sold or demanded elsewhere your current Region is very difficult to get and follow. As well as in EvE Central Market one should be able to easily sort market info from anywhere in the game:

a. Prices
b. Quantities Supplied and Demanded
c. Select timeframe for query
d. Customized dashboard of indicators for watch list.
e. Ability to download to excel files/ Numbers Mac worksheets any information request.

2. Marketing Tools
Provide a place to put advertisements, space cans and cargos with long texts are not fulfilling the need.
Im not asking to populate eve space of crowded communications, but we could eventually have a couple of systems were you can put your own station or advertisement to make people enter and buy only your stuff. Moreover, being able to better communicate your offers and not just morse code messages in trading channels.

3. Financial Services
Its quite a complex market but we are not able to have Banks, this is really needed when you are focused in Trading.
I know that most players are mainly interested in PvP but there is at least a small community of professionals that really enjoy and have fun with the cycle of Mining, Manufacturing and Selling. My case...
In these cases, NPCs financial services would be an interesting concept to develop and I do believe is quite simple.
Corps could also be able to set their own Banks and communicate it to the EvE community. Not saying this should be easy to get. probably more difficult than to open a Corp.

4. Corporation Stock Market
If a Corp is doing very well but would like to take their economic growth beyond, why not enabling the possibility to Corps and investors to interact in a digital stock market place?
This will also bring improved market performance and funding.

5. Freelance sales representatives contracts
If we do have contracts for people that are able to provide distribution services, why couldn't we offer products for resale and paying a commission without needing to sell the full items and then make the salesman bare all the risk. Some enthusiastic sales people could power up items availability and market competition benefiting everyone.

Ok guys have other suggestions regarding the subject but not as important as these ones.
Could u provide feedback if this can be escalated to CCP or not?

Thanks and good luck
