Lecherito	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:06:00 - [2] If that's genuine, talk about putting contract trading out of it's stark misery with one well placed bullet... -L
Matt Armada Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:15:00 - [3] Because NOBODY Uses the Contract system to Trace BPC's or Faction Parts Sarcasam I could see this damaging it but unless they put ALL items short of BPC's...contract trading will still survive, just with more limited use
Lanais Suleia	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:19:00 - [4] Why CCP, why? Stop fecking with stuff that works and pay some attention to the broken crap!
Julian Koll The Kollektive	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:28:00 - [5] just checked sisi. can confirm faction ships are tradeable via market. however i could not find mods on market.
Gil Danastre Amarr 5TH Combat Training Squadron	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:35:00 - [6] Caving in to the doubtless large number of players who fall for Jita ship contract scams and then go crying to the petition window. Maybe this will net a faster turnaround on GM petitions after the patch?
wakalaka Information And Entropy	Posted - 2010.10.14 00:44:00 - [7] Meh. I could understand it some time ago, when the contract system was redone and there were some petitions to enlarge the market to absorb into it the contract system for plain buy/sells. The whole market and EVE itself would implode, we were told. But now, after all this time, meh. And why half-assed with faction ships, instead of including all officer, cosmos, factions modules too? If you're gonna mess with a whole trade profession, do it properly instead of just shrinking the portfolio.
Ione Hunt Storm Solutions	Posted - 2010.10.14 01:29:00 - [8] LOOOOL, Jita will be dead silent when all the scam contract-linkers shut up in local :D _______________

Hmmm, nice to know when I'm about to reprocess everything!

Ash Donai	Posted - 2010.10.14 02:06:00 - [11] I never understood why CCP didn't just include all known items into the normal market, seemed like a screwup to me. Contracts can be good for some stuff but why faction items have to go through contracts has always been and will remain a mystery to me. re: icons they should just adopt the killboard ones, F for faction etc., not that hard really
Rasz Lin Caldari Racketeers	Posted - 2010.10.14 02:45:00 - [12] Edited by: Rasz Lin on 14/10/2010 02:47:28 I think this will help sell more faction ships so I like it. Edit: on the other hand it will lower entry barrier and introduce 0.01 isking idiots :/

I'd rather very glad if they can put a simple column that shows meta levels, not some pretty color tag like that. Don't even look at inconsistency occurring between killboard and ingame icon. It's just typical CCP thing, y'know?

Maybe this will net a faster turnaround on GM petitions after the patch? Yeah, cause the change was done to get rid of contract scams. It's got nothing to do with making it easier to buy and sell faction ships at all. Also my ego is so large I think every change made to the game is done specifically to nerf my style of play.

Zelot Blueice XTC Cartel	Posted - 2010.10.14 03:58:00 - [17] Confirmed, CCP has just ruined the faction ship market. Good job. Well that was my last straw. I am on my way out CCP. Thank you for a good experience while it lasted until you started **ing up. You need to check with the player base before you do ** like this.

Why they didn't go with a simple F: Faction, D: Deadspace, O: Officer is beyond me though.

Zelot Blueice XTC Cartel	Posted - 2010.10.14 04:17:00 - [21] Edited by: Zelot Blueice on 14/10/2010 04:17:59 I am not a contract scammer. Allow me a moment to elaborate on my thoughts on why this is bad. We all know how lazy us humans can be. You have an item that you just right click and sell for WAY below market price just because you don't honestly care. We all do it, and a lot do it en masse. This isn't so for contracts, however. Adding ships like this will crash the market for ISK to LP. LP will go down and crash the whole faction market. Beside that point, are you aware that they added the Alliance Tournement prizes to the market as well? Now in my POV, that's just re*arded.
Nathan Jameson	Posted - 2010.10.14 04:23:00 - [22] Edited by: Nathan Jameson on 14/10/2010 04:23:58 Originally by: Zelot Blueice Adding ships like this will crash the market for ISK to LP. LP will go down and crash the whole faction market. Some would argue it's more "deflate" than "crash," which might be a good thing. Anyway, I think it's a little early to be jumping the gun on leaving EVE. CCP has tested a lot of things on Sisi that never made it in. I'd say wait for the actual expansion before ragequitting. (Although if contract trading is the only aspect left keeping you in the game, EVE might not be your thing then...)
oil Double-L	Posted - 2010.10.14 04:28:00 - [23] Edited by: oil on 14/10/2010 04:34:26 i see only win from this if true. they should put all possible items on the market and away from contracts. difficulties could be in bpo and bpc for all the different me and pe levels otherwise whats the problem? for instance when i look for officer modules i need to check a dozen or more items in contracts. very tedious. on market i just could browse the market. faction and other items should become more competitively priced as prices can be easily checked and compared.
Zelot Blueice XTC Cartel	Posted - 2010.10.14 04:29:00 - [24] I was too blunt on that, if it does go into TQ and has negative effect, im out. Better put

Better put Your stuff, contract it to me. Edit I do not see how this will make LP crash, if anything a slight raise in LP should happen as the margins on faction ships closes due to .01isk.
Veni Ra Amarr Brotherhood Of Cash	Posted - 2010.10.14 05:10:00 - [26] Im loving this change, it will be easy to see the price history of faction ships now.
mechtech SRS Industries SRS.	Posted - 2010.10.14 05:22:00 - [27] This is great, I see no reason why faction ships shouldn't be on the market (you know, the base system designed for buying and selling items). From an average player's standpoint, it will be much easier to buy and sell faction ships. To the contract traders, adapt or die. what you have learned in the contracts market will apply to other types of trading and industry.
Taram Caldar Royal Black Watch Highlanders Warped Aggression	Posted - 2010.10.14 06:02:00 - [28] TBH I'm happy about it. Some of the ridiculously overpriced crap out there will get driven down in price from competition now. Market Alerts Mailing List
Ruareve	Posted - 2010.10.14 06:03:00 - [29] As a newer player I think this is a great idea and I hope they put all items on the market. So far I've been pretty good at avoiding scams but the risk factor of getting involved with a scam contract is so high that I try to avoid contracts if at all possible. Contracts should exist as an option but they should be used for exceptions. Day in/day out trading should be done on the market where the likelihood of a scam is greatly reduced.
Polly Prissypantz Dingleberry Appreciation Society	Posted - 2010.10.14 06:03:00 - [30] This is awesome if it goes live. Can't wait. Contracts suck.
