Not only that but I'm pretty sure that contracts are actually less affected by standings/skills than market orders are. |

Contracts are a sliding scale. Accounting affects them, so a contractor should have trained it to get .5% sales tax. I think Broker Relations does too, but the broker fee is a sliding scale based on contract length; for me with Broker Relations V its .95% for 14 days, .6% for 7 days, .4% for 3 days and .3% for 1 day. Deposit is 1% regardless. Deposit is returned if the contract sells.
Compare this to the .5% sales tax and approximately .23% broker's fee I pay on market orders and you'll see that, as I said before, putting these items on the market actually reduces the money sink that the fees involved with selling them represent. If you want a legitimate argument for CCP not to do it (not, "it kills my profession what about the sandbox a bloo bloo"), that's one to use. Not that they'll listen to you anyway, since it's still a good change. |

Quoting for second page.
Disclaimer: I probably do far more business than most of the whiners in this thread over contracts and have no problem with it. |

I always believed these to be a 'deep/rich universe' thing - that some people (think dirty cops/military/pirates) would use their standing in military/pirate organizations (LP) to enrich themselves by selling special gear on the side.
Same thing goes for the officer mods... these are rare ['unique', but not] items that are few & far between. I will be somewhat disappointed that the local WalMart now has a spot on the shelf for them when they're available. http://i.imgur.com/RXhdL.gif |

well i guess if ganking helpless miners qualifies as pvp, what you did on contracts counts as "contract pvp" |

(not talking about any deadspace crap for kids here)
I did just fine in the contracts market so I'm not really sure what you're saying.
See, dibsi's business model seemed to be "place very, very lowball buy orders for expensive modules and wait until someone too dumb to know any better sold to him", thus my likening it to ganking helpless miners or whatever. |
