Get rid of UVT and make communication a standard part of the game. Replace it with a ISK booster to compensate for the loss of AUR revenue.

ISK booster? Like something that increases your payout from matches? EVE has skills that do that for missions but I don't think an AUR booster that increases ISK would be that great of an idea.

And like I said before UVT's are in the game because CCP has to pay another company for you to use voice in the corp channel so they need to offset that cost somehow.

Why would an AUR booster that increases ISK payout from matches be a bad idea? It is good for new players as well as new player retention. Requiring UVT to help pay for the 3rd party company is not really a legitimate counterpoint against an ISK booster. If you look in the market the top 5 selling items are the 7 day passive booster, 7 day active booster, neo assault vk.0, raven assault type-1, and sever logistics type-1. No UVT anywhere on that list. If they were to implement an ISK booster, however, I gaurantee you it will make that list very quickly. The revenue from an ISK booster would more than definately pay for the cost of using another companies voice systems as well as be good for new player retention.

Although I don't know if it would be balanced, it would be a better alternative to paying for a UVT. Honestly, I would have no need for an isk booster, since I can make a nice nest egg grinding in militia gear in ambush or just AFKing, but it might be useful for tankers.

CCP is having to pay a third party company to provide this voice comm service and to make it in a way that you only need one person to activate everyone's voice comms will just undermine CCP's efforts of maintaining the expensive service. Besides, this will just complicate things because even if you limit the number to 10 people for every UVT activated in a channel, there are already nearly a hundred players on average per custom channel (I'm not talking corp channels here) so how will the system determine whose voice comms gets activated and in what order? This just makes it seem exploitable to me. Besides, once the secondary player-controlled market opens up and you're able to sell UVTs for ISK to other players, this won't be a problem at that point. I heard somewhere that corp UVTs are coming. Also, why did you leave PRO.
