It's possible, It's wanted, and it's something the CPM will continue to encourage CCP to consider when examining Dust 514's content lineup.

The reason you're not going to hear much from CCP right now is that they are the middle of a very high-level, long-term planning process, and its clear to me that new EP recognizes that in the past promises have been made and features discussed that were never delivered up (or took ages to deliver). This only results in more player rage, and so its absolutely crucial that long-term goals and major feature overhauls are planned out and discussed with the community only after a sober vetting process that prevents the mistakes of the past (overpromise, underdeliver) from happening all over again under the new boss.

What the majority of petitioners want in this thread right now is for CCP to come out and say "this is great, we'll do this next".....which would be about as irresponsible as getting on stage at FanFest and making a bunch of claims about what was coming in the year that was in no way realistic or deliverable based on the rate the studio was able to churn out content. I think its completely healthy for CCP to reserve comment on a feature or its future until they've discussed it internally, assessed what it would take to implement, and had a realistic idea of if/when it could be delivered.* I'm certainly not going to ask them to go back to those days, and I don't really believe that anyone here does either.

Frankly, this is one of those cases where the Shanghai studio is maturing in the way they handle discussion of future work, and it should be commended, not condemned.

This was a great way to practice, set battle as, and blow off steam between corps. Settle a dispute? Make a wager? Everybody wins... bring it back!!!!

I have seen many occasions where the cpm talks down to the players in nonstandard impersonal topics, it may be time for a change, no offense. Secondly, you haven't really explained anything regarding the specifics behind why corporate contracts wouldn't work alongside the pc system. Server space/ workload? I don't see how user initiated code is any different than being able to select match types in pub matches, so feel free to enlighten us if you could. In an environment where player input is the median say in how things are implemented in game, how is it bad for someone to maintain diligence in making sure the issue that had well over 200 responses is brought to the eyes in the sky? I know ccp and the cpm are only human, but when something garners as much positive support as this more should be extended than "stop whining". I see mostly veteran respected players here, marking the mood of your core fans, with a suggestion that is simultaneously a way to keep things fresh, and fair..and also giving smaller corps a chance to taste the spotlight. In closing, all we are really looking for is at least acknowledgement that this is possible, as it is obviously something wanted. Ccp comments on the most mundane hocus pocus but can't shoot a nod in for this?

Thank you for the timely informative level headed post. I will now put my torch back in its holder and my pitchfork in its bale of hay.
