-Reserved-

Mari Hata
Randomized NPC events: 1 Point : Priority Low
Idea for getting more random effects into the npc activity and thus pve elements.

Arronicus
Ingame Banking : 3 Point : Priority Mediun
Ingame mechanics for issuing loans, preferably a feature that has npc-to-player and player-to-player option.

Kara Brooks
Micro-corps : 3 points : Priority Medium
Variation on the CCP Soundwave introduced idea to tier corporations and "nerf" npc corps

Post
POS access roles : 5 points : Priority High
Fixing POS roles and functionality. (Is already on CCP list and getting worked on)


Post
Statistical and Historical data access : 5 points : Priority High
More datamining options, and release of information like from QEN dr.E and CCP Diagoras



A few examples for consideration:

Reset Shares feature: Vote proposal function to force buy back, at suggested price and vote enforced.

Player to player billing: With settings to automatically change standing at default.

Contracts feature granting temporary positive standing, with option for temporary access to POS and STATION etc.

Corp order highlight and corp order manipulation by members with accountant rights.

Corp and Alliance seller info visible on markets.

Hey it's the biannual MD pie in the sky wishlist thread for stuff that will never happen.

Let's get this one stickied when you're done so we can save the next set of suckers the hassle.

Was there a list you sent to CSM7 or CSM6? If so, I didn't see it...

Institution of an in-game banking system + a completely different type of corporation altogether with full fledged features and all the bells and whistles we all know we want.
All characters to specialize in merchanting on any and all levels, only characters in Merchant corporations will be allowed to spam any kind of sales, want to buy or contracts in public, while the rest will be limited to once every hour.
(edit-forgot 2nd part)
Creation of Industrial corporations, allowing members of these only to use in station services like invention, copying etc.
All others will need to have a running POS with correct fitings in place and running to do the same.

high priority:

Fix pos access / corp roles so that its not give 100% access or 0% access.

we have a discussion on CSM candidates and feature requests at least once per year.

a non-exhaustive list of examples that came up in a quick search:

as the requests haven't really changed in the past 5 years or so it is assumed that everyone with a passing familiarity of MD is already well aware of them.

in our experience most CSM candidates don't care about MD at all but we usually try to find one candidate who can be expected to champion our cause. In 2008 this was LaVista Vista, in 2009 it was Omber Zombie, in 2010 it was T'Amber, in 2011 it was Kalrand (who withdrew during election time), in 2012 it was T'Amber and this year it is going to be corestwo.

I'd say, this year, the CSM will have people on it who understand MD's issues. Maybe not agree on all of them, but not discount them.

Mynnna's a regular here. I'm at least a regular lurker.

Looks like i'm gonna be voting goon this year then

How about being able to assign -5, -3, and -1 priority to bad ideas?

Somehow I do not like these ideas. They are interesting to consider, but with all due respect I'd like to assign low priority (or -3) to these ideas. Not being able to set up buy orders as an industrialist would be a big hassle, necessitating creation of a sister trade corp. Most big corps need divisions dedicated to industry, trade, PvP etc. etc., and I do not think this idea would be well received.

Edit: The idea could be useful, though, to create an isk sink. You could have corp management skills for trade, industry et al. or possibly licences. To create a simple corp where you do nothing but chat costs 1m. A trade licence costs 10m, industry licence costs 50m. Better even, the skills are required to validate the licences :)

I am strongly against this idea, and would like to give it -5, and hope CCP never hear of it :)

Hey, at least a few people get it.

I would support, or at the very least have no objections to, compiling a reasonable and thoughtful list of "hey, here's a few things that would make market play much better for everyone if you guys have the time/opportunity".

Instead it will be a bunch of internet spaceships banks and stock markets bs, that represents fundamental changes to the character of the game and a ridiculous effort to impact ratio.

Edit: despite the best intentions of the OP.
