Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I doubt we'll ever see a player jail because it would require a court. Without due process it could become arbitrary and there would be trolls using it as a weapon, kind of like the days of "aggro fu" before it was possible to blue a wreck and before crimewatch.


What would work better is a kind of reputation tracking system similar to the way ebay does it.

Something like bounties?

Pfft that's nothing.

ISK in a game where you can just more of it, breeds the arrogance seen around here with the Goons. Free 5 man accounts for those who kiss enough butt.

Risks vs Rewards need to feel the risk, not just have endless rewards because they can buy replacements.

Gatecampers doing illegal actions, get a posse together, round them up and put the sleeze bags in jail. Or better, public stocks, so we can throw space junk their way.

just lookup marging trading scam all that kind of stuff

If the bounty system had some means of tracking or displaying the reason for the bounty in such manner that when placing a bounty, a list of reasons becomes possible. It would help actually because whenever you see people with a bounty we would wonder why, especially if it was a huge bounty, like "wow, what did that dude do?".

Was it for not honoring ransoms? Was it for gratuitous podding? Noob harvesting? Or was is market scamming? Perhaps it was for being too good at the market, or PVP? Maybe loot stealing or corp theft?

Presently anybody can put a bounty on anybody, but there's no way to track the reason for it. That reason can be important.

Where? point out one single valid argument you have made that stands a chance of convincing people that your idea has any merit whatsoever.

Quality beats quantity, so far you've got the quantity bit right, now try for some quality.

I also have hatred towards people who are mor successful than my scrub as... Wait, no I don't!

Eve is a sandbox game. I'm having difficulty seeing the point of view of anyone who thinks that part of Eve should change. I personally think scamming has been nerfed too hard in my time here. I've never scammed or been a victim of scam AFAIK. Probably because I read contracts and don't invest in stuff like Titans4U. Anyone who falls for those deserves to lose ISK and I include myself if it ever does happen to me.

You can do something about gatecamps, gankers, and the like. Get a group of like-minded people together and give something back to them. What you are saying is you \want CCP to give you protection from meanies instead of learning how to fight in your schoolyard.

TL;DR: people who make threads like this are complaining about one of the core features of the game and are probably not good fits FOR this game.

Or trolling, which is good fun. :)

scamming with it is not honest

Dude, too much Ultima online?

True, but there is no way to tell whether an order has been put up with the intention to scam or not.
