So i was addressing NF's current state of PC in this thread and got off onto a tangent

I realized that aside from the Timer mechanics one of the biggest issue right now is generating ISK for PC.

Direct ISK transfer is half the solution to this, the other is direct ITEM transfer.

Once we have these 2 things players can start liquidating their Loot for ISK without introducing a second ISK faucet since the ISK isn't being created but transferred.


The question becomes is the current loot table numbers enough? Too much and the market value of loot tanks, too little and it may be too pricey to compete with the NPC market (with exception to officer gear). This would have an immediate impact on PC loot that isn't shared in the corp hanger or the corpmates simply don't want and have hopefully an instant impact on Pub play as loot now becomes a secondary revenue source.


So if True Grit is reading this: please get ITEM transfer in Soon no Gäó


What is everyone thoughts on this, I remember a post very long ago about someone wanting to create this very service and utilize the storefront as a way of also generating loans for its "members"

Item transferring, or trading, is something we have been thinking about. Actually worked on a bit of the design for it awhile ago. We have other priorities right now, True Grit is working on roles, iterating on the star map (vacations soon mean just going for low hanging fruit), matchmaking, how you join a battle, iterating on planetary conquest so that it is more profitable and you can get fights quicker.

Vacations ? But, but... Boat Festival.... Rapid Fire Updates...summer .. Rapid Updates ...finishing the game...HELP!!

When you decide to implement item trading don't forget to fix the loot payouts in PC as well

That doesn't mean we are not working or releasing rapid fire updates. Actually the rapid fire updates are awesome and mean during the summer vacation time in Iceland we can nail lots of smaller things and push them out without having to wait for the next big release. Should be a fun summer! :D I don't go anywhere until the end of August, so you all get to put up with me until then.

What's broken with them?

Of foxxy your so cute, still trolling.

I would love to do some trading. I got a crap ton of stuff I don't need.

I've a small stockpile of thales that some red line sniper would probably want.

1 - (ITEM TRADING) I'm unclear why this very fundamental part of an mmo, particularly one related to eve, is so low on the list that you are still designing it at this late date.

2 - I don't support buffing PC rewards in the current design with it's passive ISK generation and very tedious timer based gameplay.

I think you are just handing out candy for putting up with bad mechanics.

Edit- the one area that I could see "buffing" in PC right now is actually the salvage for the winning team. This would reward fighting and destruction and not more passive farming.

Actually, I don't know why the thread was locked, but here is a reply from Eterne in February where he says it is definitely coming(post #8)

Followed up by Eterne promising to be better with getting information out(post #11)

I love the circular nature of this place.

Going back and reading a post from back then making the same promises currently being flung about to calm the rioting fanbase is very discouraging. Although it does make me glad that I haven't wasted any more money on this.

Get your act together CCP.

I was shocked when item trading/selling wasn't introduced with Uprising.

So, you guys planning on making up your minds?

"Core gameplay" or a player market? I see the same people saying both should be "highest priority".

The fact that item trading is still not in the game is a huge issue for me. I am quite frankly amazed that it hasn't shown up yet.

I remember back in January or February I asked about if there was anything more important than that and the response from a Dev was that it was being worked on, or on the roadmap. That was at least five months ago, so I wonder what changed.

Giving out useless loot to players is a constant reminder that this game is still a long way from being a real MMO.
