I personally think its silly, i allways liked looking at the auctions and barely check the contracts. Allso, i rarely see any rare items on contracts when i did look. The best items where allways on the forums.

I've played Eve since the beginning, and I have never posted before, but I had to break my silence to say this is one of the worse ideas ever. It is like shutting down all the google, yahoo stock pages and the only way to look at stock prices is through some tool that takes a couple of minutes just to load up. The millions of average folks who buy stock would stop, and I think you'll see the same hit on the Eve market, upsetting the economy.

A lot of the people whinging are players that make isk from doing nothing except buying modules and the like for below market prices from newer players and reselling them. The advantage of the forums is that many newer players don't look there....
Alternatively, you might think I'm being harsh and instead think that the sell forums are used by players that make isk from selling something that is not really making them 'play' the game (eg, web-hosting services, animation of character, signatures blah blah blah).

Looks like Chribas forum is the place to be these days ...
Shame when paying customers have to take care of things like buy / sell forums them selfs.
I still dont understand logic behind this.
Did you loose a bet or something ?

Man i just can't stop posting.
This is a terrible idea.
In one move CCP kill window shopping for new toys.
Its impossible to actually "Browse" for shiny stuff on the contracts.
ffs ccp. think about what your doing.

Yeah I must say this doesn't seem like a very smart move to me. I know they must be an extra burden on the server and the staff, but I think their benefits far outweigh that.  --- Proud Amarr pilot.

Originally by: Entity Closing down sell orders, the most used forum on this site, is probably going to prove to be a mistake of epic proportions.
How are people going to sell supercaps? How are people going to advertise services? How are people going to run auctions of large number of items? How are people going to express the need for services or items? How are people going to trade at work?
Contracts are to immature to be a replacement for the functionality and more importantly the flexibility the trade forums offers, which is backed up by the fact it is today still the most used forum on this board.
Proceed at your own risk, CCP.
What Entity said. What the hell are you guys smoking?

Now I'm not a fan of whining, shouting or rabbling.
But...
THIS IS STUPID. DO NOT SHUT THESE FORUMS!
The contract system cannot cope with the needs of buyers and sellers.
The contract system cannot be accessed out-of game.
The contract system does not have a searchable history.
The contract system does not allow negotiation.
We'll just go elsewhere, but the market will lose out due to the drop in casual surfing for purchases.
Please reconsider. I'm normally rational and polite but this is a really bad idea.

It's pretty simple:
The forum moderation (like so many other very important tasks at CCP like bug hunting) are managed by unpaid "volunteers". Maybe no one is willing to volunteer anymore, or the quality of said volunteers has slipped?
If I ran a 3rd party EVE site that performed one or more of the functions CCP should be providing to it's subscribers, I would close it down and direct people right back to these forums for help.
The stupid CCG got it's own separate site, when it should have received the axe. How wonderful our subscriptions were used to create this nonsense and now are being used to further its advancement.

Edited by: NightmareX on 21/08/2007 16:01:40 While you are shutting down the Trading forum, can you please shut down and remove the Fan Submissions page to while you are at it, because the Fan Submissions page haven't worked in like a year now i think.
But for me, it's no problem with removing the trade forum, since i'm only buying normal stuffs from market. And if i need normal stuffs from the contract system, then i will find what i need anyways.

Edited by: Matorek on 21/08/2007 16:03:05 Edited by: Matorek on 21/08/2007 16:00:41 is there anything behind this decision i just can't see ? or does this decision really make no sense ? 
i don't think people will use the buggy and low functional contract-system, they will instead do their business on other websites. 
but if u want to stop production of super-caps, u r on the right way, no platform for auctions/sells and the upcoming compression changes ... i wonder what is next. btw would be easier to just take all the bpo out of game ...
not to speak of all the other services which are sold on this forums and the high end modules ...

The fact that not one person has come up with anything positive about this move should tell them something.

Just a plain stupid idea! 
Selling services will me made impossible by this immature change.
Also, supercaps and Unique ships will be impossible to sell, (800M brokers fee, lol wut?)
Please CCP, you're shooting yourself in the foot right now, don't do this!

Edited by: xThe Prophetx on 21/08/2007 16:10:27 I don't talk on these forums much, but I'm going to have to agree with the general (unanimous?) feelings being posted.
Apart from the in character stance of "well, your in game character wouldn't really have access to these forums to buy his stuff" (which is not even a good argument IMO), what possible benefit is there to doing this?

Is this really about modding?
Are the trade forums actually heavily modded?
I've hardly seen any mods touching any posts in ages.
If its so much of a man - power drain, just don't mod them, lets us rip each other to bits and spam away.
Its still a better alternative to no forums at all or being pushed to a billion second rate cheap alternatives..

Much more thought and a better explanation of what is trying to be achieved here are necessary. The contract system cannot fill all the gaps the forums do in the trading system. These forums are a absolute must for eve and any mmo for that matter, perhaps my memory fails me but is there any mmo that does not have some sort of trade forum?
