You will be taking away functionality that already exists and be forcing players to pay for that functionality to return. In what way did you think they would be a good idea?

Taking something away and charging people for it, theres are millions of examples of this is the real world. Eve is real.
And also, it'll create a way to remove isk from the game, and lets face it, right now people are too rich, i know a guy who has over 800m isk! Its crazy.

That doesn't really explain why it's a good idea to make large parts of the code lay dormant because no-one ever uses it. It doesn't even explain the problem properly or how you think this will help.

If your goal is to remove ISK, large point efforts against a small number of players will fail for two reasons: they are too specific to siphon off any real amount of ISK, and they're to targeted to ever be used. Instead, look at huge amounts of smaller fees — preferably ones that affect every player, and without any way of avoiding the cost.

…but again, that's assuming there is an actual problem to be solved, which isn't particularly clear.

Create isk sink, which is what eve needs right now, you kill someone, get a km which says , brutix killed piloted by suchandsuch, est value, 400m, you can then pay concord 'x' amount for a detailed report which shows the modules and implants for pods.

Great idea , while we are at it:

-Payments for using the stargate.
-Payments for docking in empire
-Payments for checking the market


We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

i like this idea, it adds a player choice.


do they pay to see that fit?


or just accept the KM and go on not knowing?

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Basically yea, pay Concord to see the fit, it would also stop people being so anal about killboard efficiency and unless you paid for the fits, the isk win/lose would be miles out.

Surely this is a joke, right? 800m is poor.

No. But it bothers a lot of people, usually those bad at pvp. But is has been used, and is being used as a tool to judge pvp ability, of which it is horrendous.

I have something like 98% killboard efficiency.
Which just goes to show you that it really has nothing to do with how good you are at PVP.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

You think that... a bad (in your opinion) method for gauging combat ability should be a pay-for service because its bad?

My reasons for suggesting this had nothing to do with killboards. I simply responded to a question about killboards. My reasoning is it will annoy people and create an isk sink.

Ok, so you are saying that there is an inflation problem, and that not enough people are annoyed and this will solve both of those quicker than ganking all around you as fast as Catalysts can be churned out of the factory complexes of Lonetrek?

Ill speak a little slower, so you may understand


Why do you want people to pay for something you consider useless?


Why do you want an Isk-sink?

It should cost a minimum of 50m isk to post a new topic in GD.
