Can we bribe concord for sec standing please

You guys are always looking for ways for people to spend isk, that is a great way both directly and indirectly.

I was thinking something like social V and fast talk V with a -10. paying a cool billion to get set to 0.0

i know you herbivores might not like that.

That would ruin much more than there would be gain of it.
Strongly reminds me of "pay to win" .....


If you did **** and lost sec, you have to do **** to regain it.

If you want easy ways out and want to ignore consequences,
then this game may not be the right game for you.

No offense.

not much if implemented okish. looks like one of those isk sinks everyone is looking for. Less rats will be killed, thats it basically.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Why stop there? Bribe CONCORD into ganking miners. IRL you can bribe cops to turn on the populace their supposed to be protecting...often don't need to bribe them in fact as some are itching to do it already. Certainly we should be able to hire CONCORD to clear out the riff-raff occupying our belts.

Paying good amounts of ISK to speed up security status increases (like maybe 500 million for a two hour 200% increase on each pirate kill) would actually be pretty legit.

Back in the day, you could actually do that, and run missions for Concorde. Was taken out for a reason, and everyones sec standing at the time was slashed in half if I recall correct.

This is a terrible idea as it's a MT for an in-game advantage. However, judging by your tone, I think you already knew that.

As for making CONCORD bribes for security status an ISK sink, I have never seen anything wrong with it.

There are a lot of cool ISK sinks that could be implemented and that wouldn't wreck the sandbox if CCP would only stop meddling in the in-game economy.

If someone else wants to spend a billion ISK for standings increase, I have no problem with that if CCP isn't simultaneously printing billions of ISK and buying up PLEX. In the former case, that guy's 'purchase' has at least made my ISK more valuable. In the latter case, he's just paying to win and my ISK isn't any more valuable because CCP is printing so much that the amount sunk is just a drop in the bucket.

Dev meddling, botting and in-game currency fire hoses destroy sandbox games. EVE has all 3 in spades.

New Eden needs to be a virtual world worth fighting over. Surely there's at least one intelligent person left at CCP who realizes that?

On the other hand, why not bribe Concord to gank people with borderline sec status. Sword cuts both ways, etc. Oh sorry was that -0.5? I thought it was -5... my bad.
