EVE General Discussion

Edit: I fail at reading.

They might get unbanned, you know.

this....


with enough time (they wouldn't want to ask to be ubanned 1 day after the ban lol) and a real good I am sorry please let me play again petition banned players can come back. CCP leaves the assets for them. Even the more high level violators like Isk sellers have been known to come back in time. they come back to an account with a negative isk balance they work off is the caveat. They kind of need the gear to work off their debt.

This is a terrible idea. Why would you randomly give out potentially huge amounts of wealth to players who would otherwise pay for a subscription in order to earn that wealth?

Also, why would you distribute it based on dumb luck?

Space communism?

What would be good for the game on top of getting rid of those scums, is to make those assets/isk go pouf, take out of the game, eliminated, exterminated, annihilated, suppressed, erased from database.

Just like that.

Actually since botting and such reduces the overall value of everybody else who doesn't bot, it's not THAT bad. Thou it would be better to just distribute it among all the players, not just a random station.
The problem is that then everybody else would be a bit more rich and the items would devaluate anyway. So no.

If they created PLEX, they'd be spending $17.5 each time they did it (or $11, or however much they value a 1 month sub internally).
If they created ISK, they'd be adding a potentially infinite ISK faucet to the game (if the real value of PLEX dropped significantly), and they'd be on ethically shaky ground because they're taking that $17.5 and not providing a service in return (nobody gets subbed for a month).

By limiting themselves to interfering using only the PLEX/ISK they've removed from the RMT accounts, they can provide a moderating effect on price swings without bankrupting themselves trying to fight a long term price level change upwards (cause they run out of PLEX and switch to other tactics) or causing massive inflation trying to fight a long term price level change downwards (cause they run out of ISK and switch to other tactics), and they stay off the ethically troubling grounds of not providing the service they've been paid for.

Hello!

i do understand fact someone may get free stuff why other don't... so maybe not place in space for anyone to find. Do what CCP did for the T2 BPOS.. random drawing hope you get lucky

Why delete a record (but keep count of the number of such records deleted) only to recreate that same record later (and adjust the aforementioned count), when you can simply leave the records in the system (that's not hurting for storage space) and skip the possibility of problems with the count?

Regardless, it ultimately doesn't matter whether they "keep" the record or just a count of the number (and type) of records deleted. The result is exactly the same: there is a limit (self imposed though it is) to the number of PLEXes/amount of ISK that CCP has available to intervene in the PLEX market. How they organize their server is not particularly interesting.

That's a good point, but you can also count destroyed PLEX as "available" for adjusting the market (if we're concerned only with already-paid-for PLEX) , so in the end either record-keeping system would work fine.


I find it quite interesting, thank you very much.
