EVE General Discussion

Why is there no implemented trading system for supers/titans in the game?

Why do we have to throw our Isk to a minority of people who get spacerich with their 3rd party services?

Just, why?

Nothing stopping you from working towards becoming that claimed spacerich pilot...

But as for reason, being biased since I'm in the position I am, I can say it's a wonderful sandbox thing, something that would not have been possible with supers being dockable/tradeable. Even CCP themselves have used 3rd party services as a selling point in presentations of the sandbox.

Also in a way same reason as scamming is allowed, because it makes a more vibrating game play not set by pre-set rules and mechanics.

PS. Also nothing stopping you from not using a 3rd party. But if dealing with the wrong person it could become bad experience.

I have known Chribba ever since the beginning of my experiences in Eve. He is by far the only person I know that you can work with as a 3rd party, one who will see to that a transaction goes thru completed and secure. I wish now I had contacted him to secure evacing two ships from nulsec awhile back instead of them being intercepted and stolen.

I will say for any really serious trans actions, Chribba is the way to go.

old code vs new code.
you can only spaghetti so much in before either the old code or the new code breaks.
either CCP can't be arsed to make this happen, or they've tried and 'It Did Not Work.'

Also, I'm against anything that would put Chribba out of business. Icons of trust are few in this game, and we do need all of them we can get.

You can't trust me, I'm a complete berk in the game.

Because it's much, much more cool the way it is.

Also, you're taking 'trading systems' for granted. Which is fine, since this is a game. But it's also a sandbox, so NOT having them built-in is a viable game design choice too.


Consider that there is no such thing as a 'trading system' in RL, there's always a third party you have to trust - a bank, a State, a trader, a notary.

I know cuz I just bought a house this morning (yay me!). I had a crazy but really good notary chick handling the deal. Since a good amount of hard-earned cash changed hands () I was more than happy to pay her to oversee the deal.

Because it is more interesting that way.

There is a gulf of difference between adding faction/deadspace/officer mods to the market system and building an entire system around a set of 9 ships that cannot dock.

Ok so make one but with a limited guarantee.

Any super traded with this new, sad, automatic system has a 50% of self-destructing after an year and a day.

Gather around younglings, let me tell you a story.

When Titans and MOM's first came out, the population of eve was less, and making them was dangerous. Often at times, spies were able to abort titans and moms as they were being built. You had a lot of "decoy" towers deployed to try and make it harder to find the baby titans. It was a fun time, with a few titans and moms.

then CCP had a great idea, to create an abomination of a system for sov. They had this brillant idea that you could claim a capital in a constalation and EVERYTHING in it would become immune. Thus, many titans and moms were built. by the time ccp killed this, it was already too late.

Titans were ment to be few and rare. They did not think it would be needed to do trading. As others have said it was short sighted. Even making them not dock was short sighted.
