If you were an automobile manufacturer IRL would you sell your cars to a guy who has a record of using those cars to nudge lorries off the road, or cause horrific traffic accidents on purpose? NO! Why can we not do the same thing?

CCP this is an enemy that only fights on his terms and has the objective of ruining the game. We want to advance and contribute to the game. Give us market pirate blacklisting, or sec status limits on orders, so we can fight them on our terms! More content for everyone and Eve grows.

making me log in to an alt to buy things isn't an interesting, or fun idea. it's just another layer of tedium that the game doesn't require.

your idea is therefore, bad.

Black listing enemies makes sense.

Run their supplies dry.

Its like an embargo :P

Thats your problem because you chose to use an alt and you think its tedious. Sounds like Carebare tactics.

Alternatively you could:
Make your own.
Use force to get what you want (instead of buying).
Ask someone else to buy it for you (allies, a "middle man").
Seach for a new supplier.

I don't know if you realise ... but adding customers to a black lists hurts the supplier as well (they make less money).

no, it's not my problem. at all. that's the point; having an alt totally negates the entire system being suggested. an idea trivialised so easily that it would have no affect on the game is simply a bad idea.

I never said it was a good idea, just an appealing one Lol

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Obviously not a forum / spy / market alt ...

Because he's doing it wrong.

Every new player starts off with a 'Highsec Trade Permit'.

Permit is necessary to buy, station trade, accept contracts and access corp hangars in highsec.

Permit is revoked if sec status drops below -2.0.


Probably a terrible idea, but it would work.

What's the point? People use alts. It changes nothing to the better.

It wouldn't matter whose alt it is. Use a character for ganking --> sec status decreases --> that character couldn't get equipment in highsec stations.


Or an alternative, very simple version: station lockout based on sec status.

Ditch NPC Police (a bad mechanic imo), but revoke highsec station docking privileges altogether, based on sec status.

Gankers would have to stage at highsec POS, which makes sense since they're 'naughty pirates'. And POS are attackable.

Increase the challenge for gankers, give a real 'fight back' opportunity to white knights, if they're up to it.

If necessary, tweak CONCORD response times to make up for the net impact on ganks of ditching NPC Police + station lockouts.

CCP please give him what he wants, anything that eliminates the competition is most welcome and I look forward to reaping more and greater profits selling to all comers with a joyful and mercenary disregard for the effects of my behaviour on society at large.

That is of course supposing that people aren't using alts to do their logistics for them, does their cunning know no bounds!?!

An idea is bad when it doesn't work as intended, hurts the people it's supposed to help and helps the people it's supposed to hurt (among other things).

Your idea wouldn't affect me at all, in fact if there were people who would only sell to people with (for example) 5.0 sec status, it would actually benefit me greatly as I have 8 characters at or near that now (of the other 4 only one is in the negative because of shooting at non-FW targets while in FW).

But just because something benefits an individual, that doesn't make it in any way a good idea for the 'community' ('game' in this case). An idea is a good one when it does what it's supposed to do, has limited negative and unintended consequences, and benefits the most people in the community in question.

Your idea does not of that. You can sink into that place where 'bright idea' people go to mentally hide (when other people demonstrate to them that they really aren't that smart and their idea isn't just horrible, it would be horrible for the person making the idea i the 1st place), but that doesn't make the idea we're talking about any less horrible.

EVE would have to have a strict ban on alts, contracts, and in station direct trading (hell, you'd even have to some how stop people from jet-canning stuff too lest you create a real , in space, 'black market' lol) enforced by game mechanics for your idea to even begin to have even the slightest merit.
