To help fix the issue of new players not being able to trade, we could implement trader licenses. For Levels before 4, players have to pay to get and renew their licenses for a set time period (maybe a month?) but for levels after 4 they have some sort of tenure in trust where they don't have to pay for their licenses anymore?

It would brush away a lot of scammers as they'd have to make enough ISK in a month to make a profit. Sure they could make the ISK but they'd have to be smart or someone would have to be dumb. As they gain rank, they have to worry less about going into the negatives.

Well, it isn't new players that are having that issue. It is players that only ever bought packs without Aurum or people that bought nothing. To get level 4 without paying, you would have to have been very, very veteran rather than "not being new."

It is also unlikely to happen because the level 4 thing exists to stop people getting keys, components, and newsletter items infinitely. There is not going to be an ISK amount that makes it not worthwhile to farm accounts to get infinite 3 day Omega boosters or Officer weapons. The level 4 thing is not so much to stop scammers.

So if Mr. CCP is listening, do it like this.

"In order to trade, one of these conditions must be fulfilled."
1. Earn Level 4 Loyalty.
2. Have amassed at least 400,000 WP by 4/15/2015.

This lets people that have been playing the game, right now, get in on trading without opening the door to complete nonsense.

shaman oga Dead Man's Game 4395	Posted - 2015.04.15 17:59:00 - [8] - Quote I like the idea of WP-SP-ISK treshold, if it's high enough, like : 200k WP - 2 million SP - 20 million isk, it will certainly keep players away from constant boosting cause it will just take too much time for a throw away character, but fine for a real player. Loyalty rank is 99% based on AUR and somewhat exploitable, this will lead to a new situation in gaming. Pay to Exploit. Shifted in time, your tomorrow, my today.
