Arvald Caldari House of Tempers	Posted - 2007.07.15 21:01:00 - [1] Edited by: Arvald on 15/07/2007 21:01:07 i just had a good idea that would possibly help eliminate isk selling site spammers, just make it so that a full fledged player has to "send" the trial to a friend, or they have to give them a code to activate a trial account. not perfect, but it could work Being attacked by arvald Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes -Wachtmeister ([email protected])
Wild Xenria Gallente Space Locusts	Posted - 2007.07.16 18:08:00 - [2] Edited by: Wild Xenria on 16/07/2007 18:10:14 What about people who don't know anyone who plays the game and want to try the trial before they spend money on a game they have not played before? And if full players could give out as many keys as they wanted this wouldnt do a thing. One real account could deal with as many trails as needed. If you did limit it how could a fair limit be determined without loosing customers? edit sorry came across a bit negative, played a game before where trial accs worked as one full acc had 2 trial keys to give to friends and that was all, the amount of posts on the forums saying "anyone got spare trial key" was annoying to say the least.
Zeonos Amarr Fairtrade Syndicate	Posted - 2007.07.16 18:36:00 - [3] what about all the isk farmers, there just send codes out? Look I Hijacked a sig!! -Kaemonn <3 Kaemonn -Zeonos A sunset with Kaemonn... how nice... -Wachtmeister This space is reserved for moderator hijacking, Need more colors!
Lithia Tsanov	Posted - 2007.07.16 19:05:00 - [4] The solution to ISK farmers is simple. CCP should sell ISK. ISK farmers would be eliminated, or be forced to compete with CCP's prices (which would be almost impossible). Thank you for your time, LT

ISK farmers would be eliminated, or be forced to compete with CCP's prices (which would be almost impossible). Thank you for your time, LT QFT Only way to get rid of them is by undercutting their prices till they have no profit left. Not that i want to see anything like that from CCP as they would be tempted to increase the RL value of ISK just to get a bit of extra profit.

ISK farmers would be eliminated, or be forced to compete with CCP's prices (which would be almost impossible). Thank you for your time, LT They already do with gtc's. However, if they were to sell isk directly by spawning it, you have no idea the inflation you'll cause.

MissileRus	Posted - 2007.07.17 20:47:00 - [10] 20 minutes today and i counted probably 6-7 spammers, and i wasnt in jita but in public channels.. jita must be spammed to death, cant think of the amounts of newbies that fall for it and actualy buys just to try and catch up with the game etc.. id like trials NERFED.. either no more unlimited free trials, or nerf the channels they can join, only help channel.. they dont need local they can open convos with their friends or others... atleast theres a way to block convos so you dont get bothered by the sellers.. minor good effect is that CCP gains some income since sellers have to buy accounts.. also spammers arent making a 100% profit anymore since they have to pay for new accounts all the time.. and a insta ban button in help channel for the unavoidable spammers there.. further improvements could be filters.. but they never work imo so just nerf trials.. they can convo or use help channel, if they want more they can pay for it! theres no reason not to do something about trials, eve can hardly handle the paying players so why should they be free to do so mutch we pay for? granted no uber ships or skills but meh free pvp and the freedom to do what they want without having to suffer concequences paying players have to, were stuck with our chars.. dont think trials should be "friend only" thing, they jsut need some channel nerfs and their fine.. --------------------------- 4. i like pizza

Thank you for your time, LT That might work for pve games, but it would completely destroy EVE.
