(Another Repost, as a counter to the "Atrocity" that everybody is up in arms that is 1.4. Give me this CCP, and I will be outta your hair.)
EVE Time Cards.
Yes, My troll friends, I could just go to the Internet ETC stores, but then whats the difference between them and buying tme from CCP?
I've heard that ETC used to be sold in stores, but the Cards were Discontinued.
Just, a question, but, if you Sell boxes of EVE in Gamestops, why not sell Time cards?
Your already distributing the Game online!
You could Discontinue the Boxed Games, and Sell Time Cards there.
Cant you fit more little Plastic cards in a Cargo Container as opposed to large boxed sets?
I would appreciate CCP replying on this, in some way shape or form.
Please?
tl;dr
Bring Back ETC in stores.
(Note, Final Repost.)
(Another Note, This shouldn't be moved. This is a legitimate request, and If you feel the need to lock me up again, please redirect me to where I can suggest it, however don't say the EVE forums. I am not going to buy a EVE account on the interweb so I can post something so I can buy the SAME thing, only not on the interweb)
That is all. |

This is a dust forum I am sure eve has their own.
Read the last little note I put in guys, I cant post on the EVE forums if I wanted to unless I have a paid EVE account (Correct me if I'm wrong,), and if I moved this to the Locker Room, no Dev would seriously go there to look for my personal, however unrelated request.
It be like them going to a Dart Gun Section to buy a 12 gauge.
Unless someone can give me a legitimate place where CCP can at least acknowledge that they are thinking about bringing it back, I cant really go to a different forum w/o defeating the whole point I'm suggesting this.
Yes mister Apple, I understand the Idea of Prepaid Debit cards.
Until I get a nice response on this, can you explain any restrictions on it?
Things like, you have to be so and so old to buy or recharge one, and the like?
Thanks for reading. |

Not to mention, ETC's are commonly only used to get money in game, and not actually add game time, since they are more expensive than buying raw gametime (the same price as just guying 2 PLEX through the eve site), and in fact just redeem into 2 PLEX you can use or sell.
Yes, and nothing is going to change the use of ETC an a money maker by those with real money.
Nothing. However, opening the option to purchase PLEX without using your sensitive personal information.
It opens the opportunity for more people to play, let's friends present other friends with a decent amount of time to explore EVEs crevices and opportunities.
And, if I haven't sold you or CCP on the usefulness of this product, is that its a advertisement for EVE, however this advert pays you directly. |

I don't see how This can be a bad thing.
I just want to make a list to recap it...
Pros
+Opens Up the Opportunity to pay Hard Cash, instead of Online
+Adverts that directly pay the devs
Cons
-Would require either having someone print the small cards, or purchasing a press to print them in-house
-Shipping
Now, the first con can be easily paid for, either through EVE's online Subscriptions, or through its own production.
Shipping per card is a very packed deal. Roughly 20 dollars per card, which weighs very little.
So, while it might be a costly endeavor to start, it would pay itself off easily, and quickly.
It adds customer convenience, along with free advertising, and a high profit margin, for the immediate cost of Printing.
I really cant see this as a bad move.
But, I suppose its all up to CCP to decide if they want to listen. |

The model for DUST is different from EVE and several things are never going to work in both. EVE NPC Corps have an 11% tax to force players to not stay in them. In a F2P game that will drive a significant percentage of New Berries to try other games, many other games. Games that don't penalize you for being new. The ETC would serve what purpose for DUST and its players? Not a single thing from your description. To get someone to experience the joy of EVE have them download the three week free trail. If that is what you are thinking of, truthfully I don't really get why this is posted in DUST at all. If you believe this is a valid Business Proposition then present it to CCP. They have a Corporate HQ with a physical address. Mail them your proposal. Just keep that stinky EVE stuff away from DUST. 
Hmm....
I am going to check CCP's main web now......... |

His voice has to be heard here because he cant access the eve forums without an active account.
Yeah, but now I know where I can send my spam to
There need not be this thread anymore.
Continue posting if you desire.....
Thanks Kal for pointing me in the right direction. |
