Except I’m asking how you’d mechanically achieve it. How would you, for example, split the two? How would you decide how much of my isk is in my nullsec wallet? My highsec wallet?

If I give someone ISK, can it transfer between the two? Or should I buy something from my alt, then move through 1 gate, and sell it back? Awesome, you’ve added meaningless tedium to the game. Because no, it won’t starve other factions of resources. We’d get around it pretty easily just by using alts. Need to move money from your lowsec wallet to the highsec wallet? Dip into lowsec pocket system, sell yourself something for 1 isk, then pop back out and sell yourself the same thing for 1,000,000,000 ISK. Both times, it’s something that’ll fit in the cargo hold of your cloaky, nullified covops.

And btw? Resources aren’t easiest to produce in high volumes in highsec. They just move through highsec because that’s where the central trade hub is.

Now factor in all of the existing whining about the removal of passive moon-mining because it means people have to spend time actually earning their ISK and can’t just do instant-gratification PvP like this is freakin’ League, or something. You think those people are going to run convoy escort?

I mean, I get what you’re after, and if it could work without introducing whole new layers of boredom most of the time, it’d be awesome. Smuggling routes, running blockades, and raiding merchant convoys would be really cool. But they won’t emerge. The game and the customers playing it have moved past that point. As they’ve gotten older, their lives have gotten busier, and they just don’t have the time for it. And the game’s provided far better efficiencies along the way.

Need to move something from highsec to lowsec? Jump your JF right off the 4-4 undock. Sell to yourself nice and cheap. Et voila! You have bypassed the whole ‘separate wallet’ thing. In time, as the majority of ISK is being generated in low/null, HS itself winds up unable to afford the things they sell.

It’s a funny thing, you know, embargoes, tariffs, and sanctions don’t just hurt one side.

Let us login multiple Characters from one Account and I’m totally fine with it.

Regarding Fanfest:

I would get hyped if you fix what we already have instead of throwing new ‘Content’ at us.
How about ONE working map? That would be something!

Cheers

No, other MMO’s don’t allow that either. If you want concurrent characters in a world, you pay extra. This is just multi-accounting for free. No. It’s worse than multi-accounting.

Multi-charactering concurrently (multi-accounting) is the cost and pain you chose.

That would be a hit for those who already have alts on different accounts, instead of pissing multiboxers off because they have to pay more, they would piss them off because they’d have to pay more than those who just happen to have multiple skilled characters on one account.

Plus plex prices are on the hike too, so multi training thingie is gonna be more expensive too, it’s barely cheaper to have multiple chars training on an account than having an alt, but with an alt you can log both at once, multi-character training just aint worth it.

You either contribute to Eve’s revenue or you lose Eve. Pretty simple terms really.

CCP needs more monitisation of Eve to cater for a wide source of revenue and PLEX consumption / sales.

More itemised billing of features, expansions monitisation, content monitisation, more diverse unique player base, less reliance on multi-acounting.

You called for players to be banned just because, now you cry about them losing their money. You cry about the cost, then ask for multi-accounting to be free in the form of concurrent characters in one account, then wonder why the price goes up.

Where is the revenue going to come from if you just want things for free or cheap and dwindling player base.

The game is 20 years old, you’re lucky it’s still powered on.

As a matter of course I assumed we can also train at least 2 characters at the same time per account then.
AND be able to transfer our current Characters for free to get that going.
And CCP don’t you forget about the + 2 new character slots per account!

Now we talk.

And that removes yet more revenue from Eve. I don’t think that will wash or help for the future of Eve either.

What you’re asking for is economic suicide especially given the prices are going up to compensate for loss of Russian money.

3419

You don’t have enough trust in CCP.

What they release at Fanfest will allure enough new players that my suggestions will go through as quality of in-game life changes.

3420

They set the expectation, not us.

3421

how right you are! I subscribe to every word brother!

I love your dentist scenario,
How about this, your dentist raised the price 15% but then instead of cleaning all your teeth he only cleaned 2/3rds.
Now you are paying more for Plex and getting less.
Who in the heck can use 50 Plex? or 100 Plex, what is this going to get you?

We also use PLEX for public contracts to lower the fee as PLEX is not calculated in the contract fee as it is an “item” rather than ISK.

This is the best method for low fee public large value contracting.

I have no obligation to respond to any of your comments, I simply stated a use case for PLEX that benefits the user to user scenario.

You are the one that asked the question. I give you an answer.

3429

The answer is relevant to your “irrelevant” question.

3430

funny you thought it important enough to answer, must not have been that irrelevant

3431

Circular responses belong in Project Discovery. Draw circles there.

3432

still you must have thought it relevant to post up
and then reply with contracting nonsense
