New CONCORD Legislation Prohibits Agent Distribution
of Advanced Tech Components
reported by: Gnauton | 2005.04.27 15:09:54
After a series of meetings over the last week, CONCORDÆs Inner
Circle this morning passed new legislation prohibiting empire
corporation agents from passing on Tech II construction
components to capsule pilots engaged in freelance work for them. The primary reason for
the legislation, according to Inner Circle Head Irhes Angireh, is ôthe need for the empires to
divert their resources towards their own ends. Both CONCORD and the four empires have
paid tremendous amounts of money and resources to the capsuleer community in these
past months, and itÆs time to begin cutting the cord.ö Also stated was CONCORDÆs belief that
the legislation would have an energizing effect on capsuleersÆ outpost-building efforts and
other industrial endeavors.
Parties from within both the Caldari State and Amarr Empire governments have complained
that the legislation will cause massive inflation on capsuleer Tech II markets and serve
only to ôhamstring those operating on the technological cutting edge and slow down their
progress.ö Some, indeed, argue that is exactly what CONCORD is out to do.
Ever-controversial Federation Marquee journalist Maxim Peltast applauded the move, calling
it a ôkick in the [censored] for the [censored] cloning [censored].ö He did, however, warn
that these new circumstances would effectively force capsuleers into industrial operations
on a greater scale than before, and history had shown that ôwhen you force the eggers
into a corner, youÆre going to make those [censored] more powerful, whether you like it or
not.ö
The Gallente and Matari governments meanwhile have expressed their approval of the
legislation, claiming that the economic backlash created in the space community through
this excessive flow of capital and components could now be nipped in the bud. While it is
unknown how the Inner CircleÆs votes fell, the decision is widely reported to have been
near-unanimous.
The mixed response to the legislation is seen by some as indicative of a growing rift
between the old empires. States analyst Brill Stone, ôWith capsuleer traffic within û and
influence upon û the empires increasing every day, and sweeping legislation like this being
passed, you have a lot of voices talking about grand-scale changes on the horizon, you
know, the universeÆs power structures undergoing seismic shifts. I think we'll start to feel
some tremors pretty soon.ö

They talking about POS stuff, or are they talking about BPO's?

About T2 components and materials to create them. You could do a plenty of ISK with them before, I remember me making daily like upto 20m in Yulai with them. Guess it makes sense because the market got flooded by T2 component rewards. No point in making them by yourself, took too much efforts and time compared to the output you could get on a lvl3 mission, where you could get like 200 fusion thrusters as reward.

All i can say is about time for the dispersal of agents !!!!!
Ok, so what the hell is this Golden Ratio? |

Probably around the timeframe of the New World Order.
Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug!
Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.

I am of the strong opinion that PoS efficiency should have been gradually increased while agent drops should have been gradually phased out instead of implementing a system where tech2 prices will rapidly and significantly increase due to a MASSIVE loss in component supply.
There are 500-odd PoS on TQ, but not all PoS are used for moon mining - component supply will be greatly restricted in the coming weeks. How many people use tech2 goods? I'd be willing to bet on 'nearly everyone in-game longer then 2 months'. IMO, the stability of the tech2 markets is much more important then the PoS owners.
As for agent dispersal, thats all well and good, but people will still go to the highest agent quality that their corp offers. So unless multiple agents of the same (high) quality for each corp are dispersed around EVE, the problem is just being somewhat postponed until everyone moves to the location of the new best agent.

Highest quality agent, might not be the agent that gives out the best rewards, given that security rating now affects rewards.

Do you mean the Concord sec rating? So like a -10 rating with the law and a +10 rating with a pirate faction would get you the best possible rewards if one had a rat agent?

If that mattered to agent runners at all, people would have already been clearing out of the high-sec agent hotspots.
Clearly, it doesnt.

No ment the security rating of the system the agent is located in.

It does matter, but a lot of players aren't fully up to speed on changes and patches. After the patch there were probably many agent runners who said "OMG my LP got nerfed!" without knowing why and then carried on as usual. It takes time for information to spread.
Besides, once you've built up standing with an agent it's hard to leave; it could take a long time for a new agent to start giving the same rewards, even if his base reward table is better. Moving the agents takes care of that consideration. |

Oh, I know why people dont leave the agent hubs now. My point was that the change won't fix it.

Just moving them off highways should help some, for one thing. People won't all cluster around the highest quality agent if there's another just a couple points lower, which in many corps/divisions is the case. Of course that isn't always true, and there will be big crowds in some systems, but probably not as big as there are now. I'm not sure there's such a big problem that more is necessary. |

The T2 withdrawl goes into effect this week, I believe. According to Oveur it doesn't take a client patch to do it, just server-side. Check the blog.

Quick, cancel your T2 Part sale orders and wait for the price to jump!

imo, if they want to make 0.0 rewards more attractive, considering that last i heard there was no bounty when killing concord etc, compared with killing pirates within empire, let 0.0 agents continue to give out these components, as that post says, this is CONCORD law, and 0.0, is lawless, no concord or the empires out there, so surely the pirate factions wouldnt care of these restrictions?
