Wow... I actually managed to get through all the posts on all 10 pages (so far) of this thread. (I'm not the biggest forum **ore, what can I say)
Well, here are my two cents.
I'm primarily a PVP person.. Not a finance or business - never had, never will be most likely. I'm just a person who found one more side to EVE, which looks very interesting and decided to dip my nose into it. And I like it so far....
I want to remind you all the moto of EVE: "Don't fly a ship that you cannot afford to lose!" In my opinion this applies to all parts of EVE, not only pvp. Remember, this is a game, where people came to have fun. So, in addition to the above, I don't think that you can apply the same criteria and requirements to people who by their own will created, spending huge amount of time and personal isk, in setting such complex, profitable (i do believe not a lot of ppl will disagree), system. I personally can say - I am amazed and bow to the courage and skill of such people.
That said, I have more trust in EBANK staff, after reading all the posts and seeing how the situation is being handled and, even it is not a lot, I'm not taking my money out, as I think that EBANK will recover from this hit. As someone already mentioned in one of the posts - a system, where the main person in the system can crush/run away/scam/etc with only 10% out of the assets, after which the system actually survives, recovers with no real loss to a costumer is very, very impressive. Most of the corporation in EVE cannot say that they can sustain such a hit and survive.
However, I do believe that some improvements have to be made. Most of them were already listed by more knowledgeable people in prior threads. I will just list the once that I think, from my stand point of view, should be a priority:
1) Auditing (oversight and accounting) has to improve. Even though I understand what Hexxx said about how time consuming it is, there has to be at least some solution to this to insure that you are able to track down all of the transactions/funds.
2) The loan incident has been brought out many, many, many times in this thread, relevance of which can be argued. I will not say either way, as I have a different point to bring: it might be a good idea, in addition to monthly statistics EBANK investments/profit/etc, to have a locked thread on this OR EBANK forums with updates/information on major defaulted loans/investments. Definition of "major" I will leave up to a discussion, as I'm not competent enough to identify it in this situation. There is no need for names, corp names, etc, however just pure information that, lets say, " During this month we had one major loan defaulted. Total amount is: 150bil isk. The investigation is still in progress and attempts for recovery of the assets are being made. This however will not affect any of the our costumers, as it has been absorbed by EBANK loan strategy (sorry, running out of words and don't really want to look through 10 pages to find better once, as they were already said). Updates will be posted on the progress next month."
I think both of the above points will bring more credibility and trust to EBANK from their Costumers, as well as lighten audits workload and frustration. It will be bright and clear on what is happening, without people any personal information being relieved and lost.
dixi.. for now. |
