So we will likely be careful with moving money around. But the request is noted, and we'll also do our best to release as much as we can that makes life in large-scale EVE operations easier.
Think of this differently - If you give everybody high levels of automation then suddenly bots have no advantage anymore. Bots will only exist as long as there are tedious and boring things to do like updating market orders, missioning and mining. If mining was done more like PI (where you plan the extraction rather than doing it yourself) we would see fewer bots. Although I don't expect CREST to fix this problem, giving some automation to traders could still be a big improvement.
In other news, I would like to see CREST give access to corpse names, as currently these are not available through the existing API for some reason. |

Two step... I love you! It works perfectly.
Though seriously, was this documented? I never even considered using the locations API to retrieve item names. If it was called the "ItemNamesAndLocations" API then maybe it would make sense? |

Are there any details about this "developer license" around? I don't understand why one should or would be required. If I am required to buy a developer license in order to spend my free time improving CCP's product with third party apps I can tell you now that I will not be buying one.
I hope CCP keep working on CREST though. I look forward to the day I can chat to my corp or update a market order without having to log into the game. The game client should only be for fighting other ships anyway. Track your wealth with EVE Stats: https://ohheck.co.uk/EVEStats/home.php |

Thanks for the link.
I pay for all 7 accounts by PLEX, so no developing for me..
The presentation says they are looking for feedback on the license, so here is my feedback: The license terms are too restrictive. This new license should only apply to developers who want to charge for their apps. If you do insist on going ahead with the credit card requirement, please place something in the EVE Store that costs $0.01 which we can buy to validate a card.

So people will have the option to do that, or wait for the feature to be available in Account Management before agreeing to the Developer License.
Thanks for providing the option. I still don't like the Developer License concept -- I've never needed one to develop for other games -- But at least this will make it as painless as it can be.. Track your wealth with EVE Stats: https://ohheck.co.uk/EVEStats/home.php |
