Why is my alt of two years (my tank alt) suddenly unable to do ISK transfers?
Requiring Loyalty Rank 4 do transfer ISK wasn't in the patch notes.
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!

Seems like a hasty move to stop some sort of an exploit (maybe an actual one, maybe not), that wasn't thought through, and has no actual consequence on anyone (particularly possible exploiters) other than causing an annoying, albeit fairly mild, inconvenience...
So, doesn't seem like something worth implementing, and definitely not something worth "keeping secret"* until implemented.
*refers to not being mentioned in patch notes, and nowhere else in advance, and in public, that I am aware of

The far reaching consequences of this change are unimaginable. Not only does this not solve anything (add character to corp, donate money, main takes money) is takes away a pillar of Dust 514 from a not insignacant chunk of the community.
I've been running an escrow services for 2 years and now I can no longer do that from the character I've always used to ensure my transactions are clean and easy to track.

Ah, yes, well, I stand corrected, it does have actual consequences on people like Mr. Kane Sperow, who run legitimate player made third party transfer services through established, but non-aurum spending alts.

Yes, I operate the oldest currency exchange in New Eden and this directly impacts me and I can't see any good reasons that this would have even been implemented.
I can understand traderestrictions due to the newsletter items, but limiting ISK transfers is beyond the pale.
What is even worse is that this was not even mention in any of the patch notes as far as I can tell. |

Why do I need to burn aurum to be able to do this again when I had the ability before? Tard.

I see zero benefit in limiting ISK transfers, it has been a part of the game for years. I also have an alt that I had some fun with, the http://dustlottery.com site was run off someone that was made for fun and to show what you could do with some eve side apis interacting with dust. Sure the site died out due to low playerbase and the low value of ISK, but we did not need a stealth nerf to transferring something we always could transfer, no matter if you paid into the game or not. This is a big thumbs down from a vet that cares about the game. I ask you to patch this up and remove the limit ASAP.

This has seriously affected me as well because like Kane Spero said....the ISK transfer guys from Dust/EVE are pretty much now out of business if they don't have their LEVEL 4 loyalty rank...which totally cut off MY ISK from EVE.
So now I'm broke and running blueprint gear.

As for now you can get the ISK by creating a corp on your alt. Then use your main to claim the ISK and go back to your corp again.

This. Putting ISK transfers behind a loyalty rank wall doesn't even solve any problems just creates inconvience and limiting the players that can participate in the player to player economy.

This has to be the dumbest "FIX" I've ever seen. So a few people biomass and recreate alts so they can generate that sweet sweet 250k isk about once a day per alt, and CCP's response is ninja nerf every noob's ability to be scammed!

Honestly, wouldn't you have been more surprised if CCP hadn't broken anything with the last patch?
We're talking about a game where your turn rate depend less on your control inputs than your framerate... The fact that this ship is still even afloat is freaking amazing. The best things we can learn from this thread are the names of Dust's QA people, so we can expect a similar lack of testing wherever they land after their work on Dust ends.

That was patched a while ago, it's now 25K ISK and the rest is (supposedly) spent on the skill books that are auto-trained when you make a new character.
EDIT: This only reinforces your point.

Biomass alt farming is not the issue. The warbarge passively generates ISK. Think about that for a minute... Biomass alt farming is still a part of the issue, you can generate 750k per day for every psn account you own. For a PSN account with 3 characters with maxed out warbarges, I honestly don't know how much but it's definitely less and takes more investment lol
edit: Well it just goes to show how much I biomass alt farm if I don't know that it was already patched.

And you don't need the warbarge "maxed out" to build the ISK subsystem.

I kind of wish someone at CCP had thought about that for a minute, before implementing it. Oh, but maybe they did... Warbarge introduces passive isk generation, which you can access more quickly for Aurum, and now isk transfers are accessible more quickly, if you spend enough Aurum...
Perhaps I'm wrong and this wasn't a QA failure.
Is pay-to-win that much worse than gradually putting more content behind pay-walls? They both reek of EA.
The disturbing thing is that Dust was getting better for a while. Rattati's weapon balancing was making good progress, and gameplay was getting more fun, but lately... The matchmaking seems to have taken a dump. I used to get close matches somewhere between 33% and 50% of the time (I have a pretty loose idea of a "close" match). I'd say that's dropped somewhere below 20% of the time.
Its low enough now, that I don't bother playing much anymore. I suppose everybody has a point where they don't enjoy a game enough to stick around, I just though that point for me was still beyond the horizon for Dust. Little things, like the subject of this thread, that doesn't even affect me directly but affects the people I play with, accrue over time.
2016, and the release of serious competitors to Eve and Dust, should have CCP's people focused. Instead they seem to be getting complacent or resigned to failing to approach delivering what lots of customers had hoped to see delivered well before now.

You know I had thought about that but think about it....
PSN = 16 accounts 16 accounts x 3 players each account = 48 accounts
48 accounts generating passive isk...I'm at level 112,353 so 112,353 x 48 = 5,392,944 every day x 30 days = 161,788,320 right?
But the thing is, you have to empty it every 2 days. So you'd have to sign in to each thing individually and people have work, school, kids, responsibilities.
Who has that much time to make imaginary money on a video game?

Again and again I see the barge brought up as a reason. Again you can just put said alts into a corp and use the corp wallet as an intermediary.
At the same time I think this keeps showing the critical flaw in how the barge is set up as a passive based system. It should modify active play. Make components activly generated and the problem goes out the window.

Also, to have a barge's ISK generation maxed out already it would have likely required AUR and as a result likely have Level 4 rank, so are we saything that if you put enough money in the game you should be able to "exploit" passive barge ISK generation freely?
I tend to disagree with you that the warbarge shouldn't be passive. It would be seriously unfair if it weren't passive because not everyone has time to sit and play Dust 514 all day every day.
Lets say WBC were only available through salvage and you got them every once in awhile...it would take years for people to get anywhere and the game might be dead and moved or re-invented elsewhere by the time they even got anything unlocked.

Players should be rewarded for playing the game, not sitting back and collecting rewards for login every two days for thirty seconds.
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.

Seriously, though, they ****ed me pretty hard. All I was trying to do was help new players and make the game a better place, but nope, $20 on a character that doesn't even fight or gtfo. So much for "muh metagaming". |

my only guess , other than..because money .. is that it is somehow tied into the same coding. In order to roll it out as quickly as possible, it might be functioning in the same as isk transfer with item transfer. They might not have realized it at first, and then was like well fk it, we told them there would be simple trust trading.
because money seems more logical though , i;d have done the same damn thing |

I really do not understand why CCP allow only certain players to use some feature of their game. There is a strange mentality behind their choices, they cut basic features and then pretend us to pay for unlock them in reasonable time instead of add more things, even useless things like skins. I don't know what is their plan, but for the moment they are proceeding against any common sense.
