Every one who is living a frantic life style will know how little time they have to make the isk needed to enjoy this games finest ellements.
They just want to jump online, pew pew, / destroy this / invent that / buy / sell / etc etc /////
I would like to know what people thing of the following Idea.
Every time some ones pays a subscription for eve online, they get rewarded.
Idea Example:
Pay a 1 month subscription, recieve 250 million bonus ISK.
Pay a 3 month subscription, recieve 1 billion bonus ISK?
Pay a 1 year subscription ...?, etc etc
Game time codes payd for with ingame money would not be included here.
If people have money, they dont need to buy it, and if less and less peole need to buy it, less and less will be sold
People can then enjoy their game doing what they love (even if it is making money ...)
What if? thoughts?

i dont know enough about this to even guess at the effects money showers would have.
no. i would rather have money farming macrominer chinese sweatshops then this. - PvPers always say "GB2WoW". the message is that EVE is hard, and people just need to deal with it. wasn't it funny how when nano's started making it hard for *them*, that all went out the window? |

So let me get this straight... I pay for 1 year of EVE, and get so much isk that I can buy two years' GTCs upfront to add onto that.
This wouldn't help curb isk sellers, as they would be getting isk that they can resell simply for paying their accounts' subs. I don't imagine all of the farmers buy GTCs from other players to fund their characters...

adding money = inflation = back at square one.

Yeah, I was going to say...putting more money into the system wouldn't solve anything. Maybe a material reward, like a ship or something, but injecting money into the system madly would only balloon the problem into unimaginable proportions. I can appreciate what you are trying to say, though.

this reminds me of something that happened to Germany back in the 1920's. ZOMG Communism! |

Yeah, how much isk does it take to fill a BS cargo hold? That's how much a frigate would cost.
I remember reading about the German economic crash and the picture of the guy pushing a wheelbarrow full of money just to buy a single loaf of bread. IIRC, that was the British flying over and dropping all the German marks on the country to kill their economy wasn't it?
-- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted. Kinky is using a feather to get her in the mood. Perverted is using the whole chicken. All this has happened before and will happen again |

That was a cartoon and the printing of the Marks was done by the german government.

No its not a second life. So why should one have to spend all your time making money ( like in real life. ) Pointless reply.
Your an idiot.
In Fact most replys have been pointless. Your saying sh*t like its set in stone. I want to play and enjoy my game. Not make it a chore just to do so.
Why pay for a game to grind for ages to make MORE ingame money, just to then be able to enjoy your self. Thats my frustration.

Something can be done.
You can get a clue and learn the ins and outs of the game and learn how you could REALLY be making isk for little effort, like all the other fat cats that have been doing it for years... If it's so pointless for you to make money in a game, then why are you playing the game? Why are you here suggesting changes be made to something so that you can get more enjoyment out of something pointless?
If you really want to pay nothing so that you can enjoy yourself, I suggest you log onto the test server were everything costs 100isk and is available almost anywhere (with the exception of faction/officer modules and ammunition). You'll quickly get bored since this game is pointless to you, and you will move on to something more interesting.
A tip tho: Mirrors are made of the real server every once in a while (no specific time period between them), and are then applied to the test server. In other words, you'll have to pay for your real account and train the skills you want to be able to use on the test server on the real server, so that they're there when a mirror is done.
The features and ideas forum is for discussing ideas that you want for the whole EVE community, not for things you want for yourself.

Edited by: ShadowDraqon on 26/11/2008 20:40:50 Edited by: ShadowDraqon on 26/11/2008 20:39:03 Horrrrrrrrrrrible idea! Did you know? I read somewhere that a big college in Sweden (or was it Finland...) is actually using EVE to study virtual economies? Your idea completely ***** up the player-driven economy (it's over 95% player-driven, iirc). Here's how it would chain up, in ten steps:
1. Everyone gets piles of free money.
2. The industrialists stop making stuff, because they don't have to anymore, because they get free money, so they don't have to work for it, so all production stops.
3. All of the carebears leave.
4. Total crash of everything!
5. ????
6a. EVE dies. 6b. Everything becomes NPC-sold, only PvPers play, EVE becomes WoW in space, except without the grind, because you get free money and skills train automatically. EVE has become an over-glorified multiplayer mode.
7a. EVE is still dead. 7b. EVE dies anyway, due to lack of subscribers.
8. ????2
9. Hell freezes over, evil overlord Xenu invades, and Easter island wins the world championship in bobb-sled racing.
10. SPAAAARTAAAA!!!!!!11
Ignore 8,9 and 10, and it's very true and real.

Great idea. Let's move EVE closer to real life by creating an economical crisis.
