Allow transfer of escalations

Pretty simple request but it be great if we could make escalations transferrable to other characters.

They are.

Fly to the escalation.
Have person doing escalation in your fleet and have them warp to you and bookmark the gate.

Alternately, make a shared bookmark folder. Bookmark the gate yourself, and provide the person running the site access to the folder.

CCP took out the abillity to save and transfer bookmarks as items, and that’s how we used to do it. So don’t hold your breath waiting for them to reinstate it.

Edit: Any suggestion you come up with to make your isk printing easier will have the net effect of making you less money here. For example. My 8 alt Ishtar fleet generates an absolute ton of escalations among them when ratting. I hardly do anything with these, because it’s just too time consuming to bookmark them on 8 alts. Under your idea, I’d quickly transfer them to my Marauder alts and run 8 times as many escalations as I already do. So would hundreds of others, and your market for escalation goods dries up quickly.

Rather cynical view and no i dont want bookmarks or the old one reinstated. I jist go into agenty select transfer and select a character.

And yes that could be my alt yes it could be my friends

And sorry but not everyone is flying 8 ishtars and has 8 maurader alts dont be so dramatic

Oh, to still be so naive about Eve.

You’re right, not everyone is flying 8 Ishtars. Some fly 30-50. Many fly 4-6.

Currently very few of them do escalations, because taking the time to bookmark them all on each account makes it a massive pay cut unless the RNG is very generous, which it usually isn’t.

Your idea makes it a guarantee that a lot of those people will start doing them, specifically those with 30-50 alts. 2 Vargurs will blitz a 10/10 in just a few minutes for a potential payout of a billion ISK. It is currently a hassle to get enough sites together to make this more profitable than multibox Ishtar ratting, so no one does this unless they happen to get something close to home.

But you know all this, that’s why you want this idea implemented.

When you’ve got a few hundred people with a few alts each suddenly doing more escalations, that accounts for thousands more escalations being done. What do you think that does to the market for modules that drop in them?
