DUST Search - ISK transfers

Ahoy!

Don't ask me why this was implemented - or introduced - the way it was, but there's one thing I'd like to clarify. While this was in fact not spelled out in the patch notes /something like "Both sending items and sending ISK will be limited to Mercenaries with Loyalty Rank 4 or higher"/, it is technically mentioned.

Introducing Player Trading

"We wanted to unlock the potential of trading as soon as we could, so we have implemented it in the simplest form. Simply add other mercs as Contacts, and then send them an item or items. They will then (hopefully) send you ISK in return."

"To prevent alt-farming and other exploitative behavior, we will be limiting all trades to Mercenaries with Loyalty Rank 4 or higher."

To explain, the second quote is referring to "all trades" - instead of just sending items. As described in the first quote, trading consists of one party sending item/s/ and the other party sending the ISK. Thus, both actions are limited by the Loyalty Rank.

There's never enough sh**posting going on, so let's add a few more teaspoons of the guy posting after me to the recipie!

If components earned were tied to your WP generation primarily and the ISK factory on the ship added 3-5% per level to ISK/LP generated in contracts it would be a better setup overall. The SP subsystem would probably be better as a ghetto level SP booster at 25% or something. there's a lot of things that could be done to make the warbarge not entirely passive generation. But if the exploits are tied to the warbarge? Kill the passive generation with fire and make everything affected by battle performance. Better that than putting functions everyone depends upon behind a paywall retroactively.

Doesn't change the fact that a feature we once had, is now behind a paywall, Archduke. I'd like to know why that ability was taken away.

I would've preferred a more obvious mention of this in the patch notes or the DEV Blog as well... One of the reasons I requested to be more involved with community stuff. I'd preferred that the ability to tranfer ISK not be taken away. some players have used bank alts so they could save ISK, Kain's been doing his Escrow thing, Alts have been made CEOs of corps for wallet safety. this is kinda weird, having those assets suddely blocked and no real explanation as to why, and the only thing any of us can think of? Warbarge. There's never enough sh**posting going on, so let's add a few more teaspoons of the guy posting after me to the recipie!

I'm perfectly happy to collude on this subject. It's going to force it. However new players who would otherwise use Kain's service (long-term EVE players) will simply ignore that trading in DUST exists till they hit rank 4 rather than shell out money for the privilege.
