Eventually the battle finder should be removed, and replaced with a contract board. This will list corporate and factional contracts as usual, but public battles will be replaced with a list. Sort of like the squad finder, where players choose which games to join from the dozens available. The incentive to choose comes from the listing of ISK rewards on every contract, and a warning can come in the form of a Risk vs. Reward scale.
Also, we need public contracts as they are where we gain ISK. I'll admit currently it's just a poorly disguised version of the lobby system most FPSs out there if not all use, but hopefully that'll change. I doubt we should just let them go though.
Agree with all but the last two sentences. Yes we still need public contracts to get into a battle quick and easy, but there is no reason why they couldn't rebrand that a little as I suggested so it is more connected to the grand scale of things, even if just a little.
I can understand not wanting to fight in Public Contracts. From and MMO sense there are simply people I do not want to help, nor does it make sense for me to be employed by them, if public contracts are the only way to make money its means I am then being forced once again by CCP out of the so called sandbox and into the yellow bucket where I have either got to give up and do what they tell me to ( A ******* GAIN , I am damn sick of having to spend SP in skills and such I don't want with no respec on the horizon just to keep myself entertained because the roles I want to play are not present).
They are essentially taking away one of my reasons for being a mercenary. The choice to vet my contracts. Even as a merciless immortal scumbag I do have standards. |

Instant battle = boring.
Vyzion Eyri the visionary..... see what I did there...? |

Then they should run the public contracts and leave the real work to those who care. |

I was answering the OP's question.....
Ugh I hate saying this ....but casuals are what is ruining the Souls series, they may also be the bane of this game. |
