The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.17 22:51:00 - [1] Consider it a penalty for not training Industrial and doing the stupid job himself. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.17 23:05:00 - [2] Originally by: Ariu Devine Originally by: The Pointless Consider it a penalty for not training Industrial and doing the stupid job himself. That is the most ignorant statement I have seen in awhile. Not really. Look at the courier jobs available in Essence right now. Many require you to shell out millions in collateral for what? Pulling 0.2m3 of some cheap Tech 1 crud out of 0.3 sec? Err... right. That doesn't seem fair to me. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.17 23:21:00 - [3] So you've been needlessly bumping up the collateral? Reeeeeeeaaaaalll clever. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.17 23:34:00 - [4] Originally by: madaluap You can flame this guy all you want, but he is 100% right. If i pay some guy to deliver something. Lets say 100 mil reward for this task. Why the **** should the reward not be returned? If the item isnt returned, you will receive collateral, which covers the cost of the loss (if you are clever that is). But why shouldnt the reward be returned? Nobody can give decent arguments to why it shouldnt be returned...Maybe as isk sink, but its the lamest isk sink in town than. How about... the ONE courier contract that I 1) failed due to gate campers and 2) still had the package waiting for me but had only the Velator I was given upon docking, wasn't even worth the collateral I had shelled out. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.17 23:43:00 - [5] Originally by: Kumu Honua If he offers a 100million reward for a 0.1 courier and the collateral is only 60,000 because he only wants you to move a warp core stabalizer... Oh come on. Nobody's going to offer 60,000 collateral to move a stab. They're gonna pretend it's a Tech 2 gun or something and bump it up as much as possible. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.

All people talking about this, take it elsewhere. If the situation is as the OP describes, it is broken. To be honest, in some cases including this one, I think peeps need to get their heads out of their "Game mechanics" backsides. [EDIT]And why the heck is the OP saying that CCP keeps the ISK? They get nothing from it, there's no secret piggy bank that only CCP staff have access to, it goes to nobody, it just... disappears. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.

Not going to happen. Deal with it. And if you're going to try and insult me, at least have the level of intelligence required to type my name properly, thank you. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.18 12:14:00 - [8] Originally by: Robacz @The Pointless You are probably just bored forum troll, Get out. I will not be tarred with the same brush as those idiots. Originally by: Robacz but in case you really believe to what you say: it is absolutely NOT your business what is inside my package. I set route, reward and collateral. You claim the mission or not - your decision. What is inside is not your business, your business is to move my package from A to B. It becomes my business when I'm forced to fail the contract, since the goods no longer belong to you. Originally by: Robacz And by the way, as a contractor who pays like 500M per month on couriers, I can tell you that courier contracts are extremly popular and many ppl make really good ISK on them. Yeah, for the new kids who scraped up the collateral from mining, and have no idea how risky that low-sec system in their route is... ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.18 15:16:00 - [9] Originally by: centaur I i would like to hear ccp comments on this thread. i think they are caught with their hand in the cookie jar myself See, THERE he goes again with the "CCP's taking our ISK"! Why? Why oh why do you insist that the ISK is going to CCP intsead of just disappearing? Why? Why? WHY? ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.18 16:35:00 - [10] Originally by: bogir we konw what you think about this system.. now just drop it and keep the post to the real question here... Well, I would have, but some idiot chose to comment on how ignorant it sounded. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.20 18:14:00 - [11] Originally by: Joebarchuck Some Eve players are true assh.... Yeah, I was kind of having a bad weekend, having got involved in multiple arguements with a spoilt 15-year-old brat who's parents buy him everything and my brother ruining some practice sketches I'd made (He thought they were rubbish - he's an idiot), and the OP's comments of "CCP are taking our ISK" only served to shorten my fuse further. Sorry. Although my beleifs on the whole Collateral/Reward thing still stand. Some peeps do set insane collaterals for goods that aren't even worth the value of the items and the reward combined, as I recently found out after a job went down the toilet. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.03.20 19:09:00 - [12] Edited by: The Pointless on 20/03/2007 19:06:14 Originally by: centaur I the missing money has returned with the 1.4 patch. thank you! i just wish the GM's would have informed me of this in the petition. And if he did that, he or she would then have had to inform everyone else who had made petitions on the same issue. The petitions that he or she caught, that is. ----------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.
