Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.08 11:58:00 - [2] Originally by: GM Nova I hate to rain on your parade. In essence I like your idea. More than that, I like your williness to find a solution. The problem with this idea is that by allowing players to automatically block trial players, these new players who are actually trying the game are in danger of missing out on one of the most important aspect of the game, the community. The social network which has eveolved is immensly valuable and it could be harmfull to allow new players to be blocked from it in any way. The thing is, that anyone who'd be willing to block trial accounts with their option, already aren't interested in either helping answer questions, or any of that. Implementing this suggestion wouldn't be any loss for the community. It would only help your paying customers. _______________________________ I need new voices in my head.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.08 12:00:00 - [3] Originally by: Slickdrac I don't get it, how do you guys get so much spam? My mail is completely open, and I've got no problem with evemails or convos. I have 5 accts and 12 chars, and I've gotten maybe 5 isk spam mails. Living in fairly deep low sec, I never get the spam. However, I have alts who get it. People in the big trade hubs and 1.0 sec systems get them a lot. The spammers go through and message everyone in a system, move on to the next. I'd be surprised if they didn't have routes to the 1.0 sec systems to collect names memorized at this point without using autopilot settings to figure it out. _______________________________ I need new voices in my head.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.08 12:11:00 - [4] Originally by: Unvisibility Solution? Purchase of GTC's for ISK should ONLY happen directly between CCP and players. No real money should be involved, no third-parties, no trading between players. Either that or stop the entire practice and totally seperate ISK and real world money. You don't get it, do you? CCP has no need for ISK. The can spawn it out their arses in unlimited amounts. CCP would gain NOTHING from giving out free game time because you send them some ISK. Buying a GTC from a player for ISK means that that player bought a GTC from CCP (or from a retailer who purchased from CCP) therefor CCP has gained the subscription cost from the card. Just that cost is then traded off by the person who bought the code for ISK. It always makes me facepalm when I see someone say we should be able to give CCP ISK directly for game time. _______________________________ I need new voices in my head.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.08 12:32:00 - [5] This needs to be implemented to protect your paying, and often long-time customers, from the constant daily harassment we're subjected to. Those who want to talk to and help out the newer players still will, while those that don't already, aren't subjected to the nonsense that is RTM spamming in every damn channel. _______________________________ I need new voices in my head.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.08 14:37:00 - [6] Originally by: Colonel Sponsz It's risk vs. reward. Don't like ISK seller spam? Get out of Empire! It's also spammed in channels, such as Help, Trade, Blueprints... pretty much every useful public channel. It's not even about getting those annoying mails when you go to high sec. _______________________________ I need new voices in my head. To speak my secret evils with. I need new lovers in my bed.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.09 21:28:00 - [7] Originally by: Curzon Dax Hrm....well, I don't feel lonely in my analysis of GM Nova's thoughts at least. =p Not at all. I think the fact that he suggests that we should be responsible for stopping the RMT with a player driven and ultimately ineffectual "Shame on You!" campaign instead of giving us a simple, non-harmful, insanely beneficial option for long-time customers on the flawed claim that it would somehow be detrimental to new players is laughable. It also irks me just a bit that such a good idea gets shot down without any real thought to it, and that he probably won't even bother to look back on this thread again. Nova, on the off-chance that you read this again, do you want your members exposed to the RMT? It seems like it. Yes, we can block a name, but you know as well as I that 15 minutes later the same person/bot/whatever is back at it through a constant abuse of the trial account system. People who want to cheat to try and get ahead know they are. They don't care. The only way that you can put this in the player's hands is if you start naming names on who's bought ISK, so that we can take the names and run with them. But you won't and often can't for understandable issues and policies. You need to take a real look at this suggestion from a realisitical standpoint, coming from your player base who know what they're being exposed to, not a flawed theoretical one in my opinion. _______________________________ I need new voices in my head.
