CCP Mitnal where can i post proposal to eve development team?
Anyways. here we are.
Why dont use eve-market's like form to sell and buy timecodes?
I push button "i need to buy TC".
1. Set price (1mil step)
2. Set char name that need TC.(info is hidden)
3. ISK's removed from that char until it resolves or i cancel buy order.
Same for TC sellers.
They set price. TC deactivaes until someone buy it or seller cancel sell order.
Everyone see best buy price and sell price. Thats safe and fast. Ez i think. And no emo posts on forum, everyone happy.
If this is done, then we could possibly browse them in-game too via the contract system. That would really be cool.

The high prices will turn away customers who for some reason can't affort ( at this moment ) to buy one or more accounts with real money.
I read a lot of reply's in other discussione; get a job and if you can't afford 15$ you shouldn't play.
I totally disagree with this
If you turn away customers by letting these prices go up you'll also lose future cutomers. People won't return to the game even when they could afford it If you want to 'invest' in the future of the game i think it's important that you keep the gtc option viable for more then just the elite or the cheaters. The best advertisement for your game you can't buy and that is happy customers getting friends in on the game.
and if not Eve is indeed gonna be stuck with those that just can afford to pay for it and a lot of isk farmers who can still afford to buy the gtc.
I had a few guys quitting the game just because prices are too high and I really regret it.
As already suggested a reintroduction of more options of GTC would be a start.

Maybe I'm confused, but I thought other players were selling me their timecodes they bought with REAL MONEY? No? If so this just means that isk is becoming worthless if this premise is the case.(Someone out there able to make to much money..not me though:( I guess I don't see how CCP is involved.
My reply to anyone telling you how to spend your money is get a life..lol..they must be losers. To me it is a matter of the end result, a more practical nature and perception of value. There is only so many online accounts one can have...lets see Eve second or Warhammer first...tada!..DOH!
No brain surgery level skill or thinking involved and no regrets:)

There's a lot of people in here complaining about the hike in the cost of GTC's in terms of ISK, but not one person has mentioned the fact that by introducing 60day GTC and getting rid of the others CCP have hiked the price of GTC's in terms of real money. They now cost about 26% more than the equivalent used to:
90 day GTC used to cost $38.85 = $12.95 a month
60 day GTC now costs $34.99 = $17.50 a month
So, I think its less a case of the sellers being greedy and more a case of them passing on their costs.

What is needed is a way to know if the sales that look like they are happening, are in fact happening. I have no reason to believe that GTCs are actually selling for such high prices, it could all just be market hype. I've seen one player, who want to buy a 60day for 380mil, being flammed by others for asking for that amount rather than paying more... this is pretty bad when players are critized because they are not willing to pay what the sellers are demanding.

If you guys want to play Eve, you have to pay for it. It is an evolving game that requires paid personnel to keep it at the high tech end of gaming otherwise we would all think it was shite and go play Jet Set Willy or Hungry Horace.
I buy GTC to sell to you guys so I can have some isk to buy ships and ammo to then go and pew pew you all.
If you want to do the same as me, then pay for Eve using direct debit, but eve codes to get your isk and then go pew pew and stop goddamn moaning about something you can control yourselves. Yarr 
CCP dont need or want you to be self sufficient in the game or yes you will be mining and trading to keep your accounts open....duh!

Smelds, I'm quite happy that you are willing to pay for me to play EVE and pew pew you 
Naturally, I'd prefer for the GTC prices to be low, as would all the best pilots in EVE
At the end of the day, you need us to get ISK and we need you to pay for us to play. Let's hope CCP doesn't break the equilibrium by allowing GTC prices to sore beyond the point of return.

Another solution would be that ccp increases bounties and mission rewards by 50% .. but then again GTC price may go up again.. because of that reason.

People, I don't understand, what are you talking about here. GTC trade is an example of free market, where offer/demand sets the price. CCP has absolutely no control over the prices.
The change in real money prices of GTCs have changed offer/demand dynamics: where earlier people could just pay a bit over $10 for quick isks, they now have to pay $35. That means, a lot less people, psychologically, are willing to drop that amount of money for a quick isks for weekend. Offer went down.
Offer goes down = dynamics change. Offer going down 10% can easily create a 100% increase in prices - it's not a linear dependence.
There is a demand for 500mil gtcs, thus, unless that demand is fully satisfied, prices will not go down.
There is absolutely nothing CCP can do with any of this.
CPP can introduce 30 days gtcs again, at half the price, that will bring more people to buy those cheaper gtcs for $ and sell them for isks. Offer will increase, prices will go down, but never to the pre-rise in prices level. But other than that, CCP has absolutely no control over prices. No. Zero! So stop the damn whining.
From the point of CCP profits: a lot of people pay for one month and quit. Now the profit from those is doubled. Is that profit bigger, than the profit from alts who are not paid for amymore - I don't know, but I'm going to buy gtcs for my alts.
Oh, and if you are leaving, can I haz your stuff?
