This would be a great addition to an actual Merc Market. Allow Merc Corps to advertise themselves. Give corps access to the Mercs members list, kill to loss ratios and then let us put forth a contract like the one you described. I think that would be brilliant.
It doesn't even need to be tied to the wardec system. If it's left open-ended as described, you could use it to hire mercs to suicide gank pilots in a hi-sec system, or remove towers / assets out in null-sec.

If memory serves me correctly CCP hired him around fanfest. David Reid came over from Trion / Rift. http://venturebeat.com/2012/01/17/ccp-games-hires-david-reid-as-chief-marketing-officer-as-dust-514-nears-launch/Quote:Most recently, Reid helped launch Rift, the fantasy MMO from Trion Worlds. He managed a team of 50 people and helped get Rift to more than 1 million paid activations in just a few months. He orchestrated the Rift ad campaign, which used the tagline GÇ£WeGÇÖre not in Azeroth Anymore,GÇ¥ a reference to the chief rival World of Warcraft.
Before joining Trion as senior vice president of marketing, Reid was president of publishing at NCsoft West. He was also vice president of marketing for game portal GameTap and director of the Xbox global platform marketing for Microsoft.
I was thinking of Steven reid oops no wonder my search turned up nothing. Anyway I still think it's a terrible marketing strategy to boast a awesome feature that really isn't worth mentioning (as seen on swtor).
I'm kinda amazed people are more worried about the UI than a missing feature or rather a embelished feature which turns out isn't really a feature at all atleast not imho.
CCP devs seem to have their hands full atm and can not be bothered with missing features  Fear not CCP I will not threaten a rage quit I'm sure in a few years time we will have an actual merc market.

Hi sec bears shouted down anyone with even a basic understand of the mechanic because they thought this was somehow going to be their new dec shield. What they really wanted was an end to wardecs in eve and this was the next best thing.
Here's the stupid thing; the threat to hi sec bears atm is the CFC cartel and the planned perma-hulkageddon and burn-whatevers.
Yet funnily enough I was there a few weeks ago. In jita. War-dec'ed to the CFC. Unpaid. Killing Goons. For the bears.

We wanted to make an epic mercenary market place but a while back we realized we wouldn't have time to do everything. That's why we ended up with the simple ally system. We would rather make sure the war mechanics and war reports along with the kill reports would be functioning and nice.
The best way to find a war you want to help out in is to go to the All Wars tab and check the box to see wars where the defender has requested assistance. That said, I should note that you can also offer your help in a war where the defender hasn't requested assistance.
A defender can show info on the ally and there see his whole war history, it should help with deciding on if you want those guys to help you out or not.
Hope you still like what we got there for you and I hope we will have some time to iterate on it in the future, a proper mercenary marketplace would be so awesome!
(I'm not here to discuss war mechanics, I'm not a game designer, just a UI programmer so I figured I should drop by and tell you more about how it works and why it's so simple)

Thanks for answering that for us, so we can expect an actual merc market in the near future more along the lines of what was advertised as a feature for incarna?

limited timeframes kill games.
The epic merc market was cut due to time constraints and the need to push out x number of expansions per year.
TBH its a nice idea to give us all 4 expansions a year, and they are all good expansions, but some features and ideas like the Merc Market deserve some work of their own. I really hope they add this into the next expansion

Its for war dec mechanics, not a merc market for any other reason. If it was a proper merc market, it could possibly be made for situations beyond war decs but just like a proper bounty hunter system, its not likely even on CCPs planning horizon. |

but its rare to see a meaningful war being initiated via a war dec

This is one of the things I really dig about CCP - you all seem to have such a passion for what you do. I feel that there are very few jobs where an employee would browse forums, let alone reply to concerns regarding product features and this is just one small example among many. Well done sir, I hope to have nearly as much passion in my work as you seem to have in yours.

Quick display of damage bars for each side when you click the war history tab.
This allows you so assess at first glance what sort of damage was done and would determine whether you double-click on a particular war to see more details.
Nothing is more annoying to than to go through each of the wars in the list, trying to ascertain if damage had been done at all.
Alternatively, on the glass half-full/half-empty concept, you could instead just flag those wars with zero damage betweeen both parties with a chicken fighting/pony/my little kitty icon.
Make it as cute as possible. |

Thanks for stopping by and replying in this thread.
I must make you aware that there are few nuances of the new "Ally system" that are not working well imo. They would not take much to fix so I hope you guys can tweak them in a way that works for all.
I detail an example of the problem here...
