Small corp theft and manufacturing job hissy-fits do not make for an interesting read. Yes I know. But whats important here is to make eve hardcore game for its pvp pew pew style but it has to be as easy as possible to be able to steal few bil isk worth of assets. CCP thinks we are iditots so if we like to steal it has to be easy or we would get bored quickly. And its not just about the news, its about the playerbase.
I think you're a bit mistaken. CCP certainly likes the cold dark universe and that is how it should be, but this isn't what the issue here is and the change doesn't prevent thefts or betrayals. Even in the current game you still need to gain enough trust to gain those roles and you get them after you are trusted, but thefts still happen. The new system doesn't alter this. It just allows the corp to function better and get more players involved. The added security also helps new players to be more easily accepted in to player corps, which is something CCP certainly wants to encourage, since being part of a player corp greatly increases the likelyhood of them subbing to the game long term.
I think the real reason CCP hasn't addressed this and might not do it until the whole system is redone is because the whole corporation management and corporation role system is old(poorly documented, not designed to be easily modifiable, with the original programmer propably not working at CCP anymore) and full of similar problems. This makes fixing it a large project with very serious reprecussions for the game no matter how it turns out. It's similar to the POS system in many ways. Everyone knows the system needs to be upgraded, but it's a huge project, with a high likelyhood of serious problems occuring and a painful transition period even in the best of case scenario. This means CCP is reluctant to touch the system and will only do it when a total redesign is going to take place. |
