Well i just had the pleasure of finally getting my Planetology in Hi-sec finished and delivered to the customs office.
Now i can't get anything out of it. I ask why, and find its player owned and they dont allow people to use it basically.
This made me laugh as i just wasted much money on this and there was NO advanced warning this could happen.
Heck there wasn't even a warning on EVELOPEDIA this could even happen. Now i sit back and despise the fact i even chose
planetology and can't figure out why my alt is even bothering to train it for christmas.
All in all i just would like to know how your supposed to avoid this mechanic especially when its obviously targeted at the new player base? How sad for this game. |

It sure would of been nice had this HI SEC customs office not took all my money for transfers and not given me any kind of warning in the end i wouldn't be able to withdraw anything.
It generaly feels like a scam now.
Please do not use any kind of "this is the way EVE is" because it wasn't just a short time ago. |

I launched it to the customs office then sat about 1000 meters from it and could not withdraw it.
It is not like i only spent a short time on this, i could literally not take it out of the customs office.
The point im trying to make is, how can people encourage others to do this, when they cant even get their stuff out of the customs offfice in HI sec? How exactly is this not just griefing as it is just targeted at new people?
It seems really borderline when the mechanic targets the new player to do the most damage.
If this all falls under "intent", then it is also my intent to tell people exactly what they are in for and not to bother training for such a wasteful skill that others will just block you from the get go.
At least update Evelopedia for god sakes. Right now you get to the end and its a big surprise you just flushed all your money away. WELCOME TO EVE! |

I will ask again, did you use the launch pad or the command center to get your things off the planet?
Yes it was launched and entered into the customs office.
Did you not get that part where i said i sat off 1000 meters from it and couldn't get it out?
When the oldest members get to directly pick on the newest members it doesn't make the game very interesting. |

However, and that is the second thing you have to take into consideration, the player corporation owning the POCO probably had set the access levels to 'access denied' for everyone with neutral or lower standing. So if you were not on good standing with them, you were (are) effectively barred from using their POCO.
My advice would be to contact the owning corporation and negotiate access. POCO access can be configured to be allowed on a personal to corporation standing, so you can negotiate personal access even if you are in an NPC corporation.
Wow .. never knew about that functionality or ever came across it. (Probably because my PI are in low sec with tax rates between 2% and 5 % because the corps owning the POCO actually want business). It does seem wrong if you are "access denied" you can upload and pay tax but not access the uploaded goods. i can see why he is a bit dissed. SO ... in terms of the OP original question, how can he tell that he is "access denied" when first searching planets before wasting time and ISK building on the planet ?
Thank you for getting it. |
