Hi

I just got idea for players doing courier services and it would be something rewarding for each completed courier service adding a specific "Reputation Point" in which grant them to access more courier orders than the one who don't have any RPC "Reputation Point Courier" or getting extra percentage isk from the total reward .

I don't know if this is first time proposed or not but it's cool feature.


Thank you for reading my suggestion.

I can't think of a system that did this that wouldn't just be gamed




like wise this is already a thing but it is done with out an in game mechanic




individuals or groups that become know to do well with contracts will normally be requested by people who need things moved and are generally willing to pay a better price to have it moved by that group or individual.




-1 to any game mechanic that can be done simply buy players

I'd want my courier contracts to be available to everyone, so that they get done fast. Also, typically if there's a scam, it's devised by the guy who sets up the contract, not by the transporter guy. The transporter is likely to lose a ton of collateral if there's a problem, so really they just want to deliver. So, basically, you want a rating system for the courier makers.

And that already exists, though it's hidden. You copy the contract maker's name from Available Contracts and you paste it into My Contracts instead of your name at the top, then switch the view to "Status: Completed" and voila, you can see someone else's past contracts. See what kind of contracts they created, form an opinion.

if you ever need to contract someone and be reasonably sure it'll get there, red frog or push it...

You could award the courier by medal as a sign of appreciation.

FYI there are plenty of independent transporters who would move stuff faster and cheaper.
