DUST Search - CCP: Do you want to know what I would pay AUR for?

Don't worry. When the API rolls out we will have massive wells of information available to us, for free. For those who don't know about the Eve API, it is essentially a service that you can retrieve pretty much any information stored about your character from the server. Wallet balances, character skills, kill records, asset lists, ingame mails, market activity, etc. Dust will have something similar.

Personally, I'm not sure anything with CREST write-access should be free though. CREST is the API layer that allows information to come in from the user as well, instead of just out from the server. This is what allows the Vita companion app to connect to your character and create fittings, send mails, and buy things on the market.

I can see some awesome things coming out of CREST, but I'm hesitant to think making it free would be a good idea. This is going to be a really touchy point no matter how CCP approaches it, but if it was free it would open the door for a lot of malicious 3rd party appications. On the other hand, there is undoubtedly going to be some amazing and useful 3rd party programs if CREST becomes available for public use. This is why this subject is touchy.

I want to know combat performance info (not just K/D - things like my K/D in engagements vs other weapons and vehicle types). Figure out some great information that your customer base would love to know and offer it for a few AUR in a Report Pack or something like that. Good for VITA use. Good for CCP business model. Good for Spreadsheets in Dust!

Those are stats we should be able to see without using money to see them. Just sayin. Lastly CCP plans to add more stats later on. Give it some time and they may just add that without making us pay for it.

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.07.09 12:01:00 - [7] - Quote This info should all be freely accessible. Most of it should also be easy to find. Forcing people to pay for this info is just a terrible idea.

Darkz azurr Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 105	Posted - 2012.07.09 15:27:00 - [11] - Quote I would pay for things I could keep, like bigger merc quarters and decorations for the merc quarters, alternate colour skins for dropsuits, guns , merc bundles like the dragonfly pack where it's a dropsuit you keep and gun.

I would definitely pay AUR if that gave me the chance of having a custom-made personal (or maybe even corp-exclusive) drop suit. Not sure if people would pay for that though... but I know I would.
