OP post was:


We need to come up with a standard on how much ISK a director can give out. It is very easy for a disgruntled director to take all the money from the corp wallet and put it into his account.

10 million ISK cap per day should be the max.

Edit:

Leaving this is out here for those idiots who love to assume stuff.

In 2009, a player alliance known as Goonswarm was contacted by a disgruntled director of rival alliance Band of Brothers, one of the largest alliances in the game at that time. The defecting director then stripped Band of Brothers of a large quantity of assets including ships, money and territory, and disbanded the alliance.

Interesting to see how long the PS3 crowd can handle the HTFU mentality.

My money is on less than 6 months.

They won't take it for a second and it will have to be changed. People do not like getting ripped off. If people get scammed and it isn't stopped then DUST will become EVE, a low player base game of the same old people posting "there is not enough PVP targets."

The hate and grudges are what motivate people to log in and violence each other.

Being a DUST player, I can see the arguments that everyone is making, however CCP has been pretty secretive about any future builds and what the final game plan is, in specifics. They have said general stuff or alluded to stuff, but no specifics. That being said, DUST is still in beta and I think that for right now it is impossible to make any judgments on anything that CCP hasn't specifically commented on.

But I do agree with those that say console players are going to have issues with EvE style gameplay as it pertains to retribution against other players. Yet, DUST already requires a certain degree of dedication from players in just the way SP is acquired and spent, so those players are most likely the target demographics that CCP is aiming for. I know in my own corp, our mercs are pretty excited about the idea and potential of having some form of system that allows for treachery and backstabbing and many of those players are considering playing EvE just for those reasons alone. We'll just have to wait and see what makes it into DUST and how people are going to respond to it.

Give it more time. One of the main reasons players come to Eve is because of the shenanigans. If DUST can draw players in the same way, I can see DUST going a very long way in the future.

The thing is though people always say they want hardcore this, hardcore that, but we all know most of them are going to be on the short end of the stick. I hate to sound like an old man, but if kids get burned these days they just work to change the system and not get up, dust off and get "revenge". All these so called vampires turn into victims real fast when they get smoked.

And I'm certain that our community will ensure that won't happen with dust. Unlike other MMOs, we citizens of New Eden have checks and balances.

No you don't. If someone gets screwed and says anything about it they are made fun of and berated endlessly.

I was referring to the threat of scrubs/blueberries/carebears wanting to dumb down DUST for the sake of making it feel like call of duty or halo. Our community and our elected representatives are the check and balance against this sort of threat. CCP does rely on our community feedback after all.

Dumb DUST down? I love it and I am having fun but let's be honest, It's hardly a brain buster. It's a shooter with some customizable rigs. Let's not be rude and keep ignoring our friend the 800 pound gorilla in the room named SONY. Again this game wasn't made for EVE players predominately. EVE vets are still bitching about the blue donut, fix this fix that, not enough PVP, waaa... You would never know there was DUST talking to most EVE people.

Yeah I did and since that was just released today, my statement about CCP being secretive holds true. I don't care that they told you in some podcast, why aren't they telling us in dev blogs.

I'm starting to think you are an arrogant little know it all prick. You comment on everything that everyone says and 90% of those comments have some prickish little remark in them. I get some insight from things you comment on, but you just come across as a prick more often than not. I don't doubt your insight or knowledge, but I do doubt you know it all.

That's not the check and balance I was talking about. I don't mind screwing people over so long as it's within the context of the game.

As for why Eve has been the only game like this, it probably has more to do with the fact that the big name companies that make games like halo, cod, wow, uo, etc. are just sticking to what makes them the most money and they are too scared to experiment like how CCP succeeded in doing.
