Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Lets remind CCP why we want those - again.

How to ease the pain of personal and corporation bookmark managing, and avoiding corporation bm managers to yell when the corporation bookmarks are full of expired sites, wh chains, you name it - again.

New flavor to all the previous topics over the years is as follows:

• Bookmark an acceleration gate - suggest auto expiry of few days (as long as the site lasts)
• Bookmark a wreck - bm lasts 2 hours
• Bookmark an expiring deployable - bm lasts eg. 2 days (MTU)
• Bookmark a WH - bm lasts few days
• Bookmark your ships position in space - bm lasts indefinitely

And so on. Of course you can select your preferred time from a dropdown menu. Too convenient?

pros:
- saves database from cluttering
- saves valuable time from corporation bm management

cons:
- makes eve too easy
- more work for devs

This idea is not only good for us, but good for CCP hamsters I presume?

There cannot be a good argument against this other than development time, which surely wouldn't be too long.

1. Create folders to organize bookmarks.
2. Use folders.
3. Scroll Places tab to the side and discover there's a column that shows when the bookmark was made.
4. Sort bookmarks using this column.
5. Delete all bookmarks made before whatever arbitrary time you choose.
6. Profit?

You don't need new tools, you just need to learn how to use the ones already provided properly.

Have you been out on the piss, or are you just not the sharpest tool in the shed?

You've just described what we all do already. The OP is suggesting a way that we all would benefit from - players, corps and CCP server hamsters.

Do you care to suggest a reason why it shouldn't be configured the way suggested in the original post? (or some similar variation)

I need this tool because corp bookmark count is limited and I'm not always online to delete old bookmarks and there are few people who have bookmark privileges and are unlikely to monitor which bookmarks might be old.


INB4 you come up with another half assed statement that makes this change look oblivious and uninformed of the "real way" things are usually handled.

Just move on to General Discussion already...

While everyone can delete their own corp bookmarks, most people do not do that because they simply forget about their created corp bookmarks and then weeks old WH locations clutter up the folder and mix with recent WH locations. The negligence and carefree attitude of players towards EVE (It's just a game and screw those around me!) make bookmark handling a strenuous task at times.

I don't have to ask. I've been that guy many times over the last decade. I have no problem taking a few seconds when I log on to wipes yesterday's bookmarks.

I am not against the auto deleting book mark idea I am just not sure what that time limit should be.
In my specific case a book mark with a 2 hour limit would auto delete long before the next player with roles could log on due to time zone differences and work schedules. Again based on our needs the auto delete timer would have to be at least 48 hours and even longer would be better with 96 hours likely being the optimal time. However for those in a larger corp with many more players 96 hours may be to long a time leaving them with more or less the same hassles they have now. Thoughts on the time before auto deleting?

My ineptitude at being online every moment a bookmark slot could be relieved does not equal to ineptitude at managing a corp. Limited bookmark privileges was not my choice, but there is also a good justification for it.

You try so hard at trashing any QoL thread posted - haven't you outgrown F&I by now? If you go to Reddit you could shiptoast with the big boys. Can even downvote posts there.

Still waiting for a justification for this beyond you simply not wanting to use the current tools If you're unable to be online every second of every day, then you need to learn to delegate, or maybe figure out that you've likely got a couple hundred pointless bookmarks in your corp bookmarks. Apparently you don't realize that there's a limit on corp bookmarks for a reason.

The things the corp absolutely has to have goes there, the rest is superfuous. For example, your corp as a whole doesn't need 5 tacticals for every single gate around you. The FCs do, yes, but the average f1 monkey does not. Things like this go into the FC's personal bookmarks, while leaving nice gate perches for the rest to keep them out of bubbles.

This falls under propoer corp management. It, like anything else in EvE, is a trait that can give you an advantage over the rest of the game.
