Can a superfriends dev comment on whether 'specialty' implants such as Michi's Excavation Augmentor and the CA-1/CA-2 implants are supposed to be on the market? Because, unless I missed them, they're not. |

Bright yellow text is already used on Live for orders along your current autopilot route.
I do agree though - why not highlight the text blue or something instead? |

Can you not get the ISK values for meta 5+ modules for war reports without them being on the market? This is how a lot of people make a space living and you are just haphazardly removing it from the game without any serious thought what you are doing?
To crosspost from another whine thread on that same topic - I'm one of (if not the) largest contract trader in Eve today. I have no problems with this change. Deal with it. |

What was wrong wtih contracts? and why was it deemed that contracts were not good enough for them to be sold on?
People expencive stuff on contract so that the whole of eve can see it.
Also: Name changes
Does ccp really think that the new players they hope to attract to play this game are intelectually inferior to the current players, I struggle to see any reason in these fruitless degredations of immersive gameplay.
In addition to that, it is a pain in the ass to have to look through every item to determine the difference between upgraded, limited and experimental,(all extremely boring and unasuming)
I just wanted to buy a radioscopic hardener for the low cpu !!!
Try using your quickbar.
You're welcome.
e: That said you've got a point regarding getting dozens of hits while doing a search. Perhaps CCP should add normal/officer/faction filters or something to the market search. |

Just wanted to hop back in and ask the devs if they have a response regarding implants on the market, ie CA-1/CA-2 and the like. Faction goods going up there, yet some implants still missing, doesn't make much sense given the reason why faction goods are going on the market in the first place. |

OHHH NOESSSS!!!!!!
It isn't destroying any market. Matter of fact it should REALLY help the velocity of trade on these items when people think they can buy and sell these modules without running into scam number 55.
The only thing this is going to really harm is the scam artists.
Quite a few people, myself included, make a living flipping contracts quite legitimately. I source the items that I sell somewhat different from the rest of them (via a forum thread on the goonfleet forums, while most of them use WTB contracts in Jita) but overall it's a similar business model. Most of the people whining about the change do this rather than scamming...although with the prices offered by some of said WTB contracts I could see where one could call them scammers
Me, I'm like, whatever, I'll adapt. |

What prevents you from doing the same after the change if you are selling to goons on their forums? No the fear in my opinion is no longer able to realistically scam over and over or price gouge to an absurd amount without the market correcting them. This change should have been in place ages ago. Too bad it's buried in a sludge of bullcrap called incursion fixes.
We have a very efficient logistics service internally so shipping to empire isn't the problem, the problem is people hate contracts, so that's where I come in. But, buy orders are much easier to deal with and, with stuff on the market, far likely to actually be a fair price. As a result, I have to basically match the buy orders in my offers, and if the margin is really small, it's not going to be worth it to me to take the time, effort and risk (prices can swing after all) to sell a module. |
