The problem comes down to that if you are risk averse, the ability to make isk is very easy such as the case of the high sec mission runner, trader or miner and no amount of isk sinks will realistically stem your profit margins when its so easy for example to make 100's of % in markup selling faction ammo and cashing in on people's laziness.
There are plans afoot which should introduce not just isk sinks for the sake of being isk sinks but being something worth putting isk into such as what ambulation will bring and also what planets will bring. I am sure both of these will be fun and interesting enough for you all to plough your isk into when they come.
Thanks for joining Chronotis. My fear is that ambulation will eventually present itself as eye-candy, looking great and giving a healthy boost to subs numbers, but not necessarily adding anything with real substance. Am I wrong in this? Can you shed any light?
I have to agree with leowen here, there has been nothing mentioned about anything that ambulation will bring to the game, that is not basically eye candy. To date not a single dev post concerning ambulation has led me to believe that I need to particapate in it, honestly for this I am glad, because to me amubulation just seems as a time sink and nothing else. Just an expansion of the time wasting that most people do as they spin their ships around while docked.
I of course understand from a marketing standpoint why CCP needs to add ambulation, I just seriously hope that we arent forced to deal with it. Since in its current state of devolpement it is nothing more than fluff and window dressing.

My only interest in ambulation is shops and storefronts. Finally being able to do sales to select clientFle with the benefit of some automation. Corporate and Alliance contracts are just way too limited.
Yes it will be intresting to see if/how that is implemented, but at the same time how is going to be balanced out against the potential of isk laundring. At least I assume thats the main reason why you cant select who you buy from on the open market. Not adverse to the concept, just looking at it from a isk seller/isk buyer abuse potential.
